One of the best parts of my sport is the camaraderie between the competitors. Tom Walsh

I want to to compete against the best when their at their best, not when they have been training under unsuitable circumstances. Smart decision by the IOC to postpone The Olympic Games. For now, let's focus on reestablishing the worlds health and safety 🙏🏼

A Shot Putter shows up with chalk, tape/wrap, a strong body, and most importantly the right mindset.
Some use tape, some use wrap
Some a tall, some are short
Some are frantic, some are calm
All are strong physically, All are strong mentally

It's starting to sink in. We all threw 75 feet 🤯‼️ I am proud of anyone who can accomplish that feat, regardless of the meet order. A huge congratulations goes out to Ryan and Tom! I respect you both not only as competitors but friends.

A water polo player is exceptional in the water and probably in the 1% of the population when it comes to swimming speed. But do you think they are faster then Phelps?
Now take that same statement and reword that for a wide receiver. Do you think they’d beat Bolt?

From 2013 to 2017 I moved to California to work with Coach Art Venegas. He taught me how to become a World Champion,…

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. Then training is doing the same thing over and over again, and DEMANDING better results.

In 2012 I was so excited to compete with Olympic Champion Tomasz Majewski. It’s was amazing to watch him go on to win the Olympics that year and even more impactful to be apart of his retirement farewell meet in 2016

Coaches are more than X’s and O’s. They are the ones who push you mentally and physically, but are also there with you when you fall.

Last night I lost my biggest fan, my uncle Butch. My Uncle was an amazing friend, uncle, and brother to us all. Please remember him in your thoughts and prayers. Funeral details are Mass Saturday, 1/13 at 11:00 AM at Reichel Funeral Home followed by a celebration of life luncheon
I cannot think of a better place to start than the NYRR Millrose Games at the historic Armory. That’s the place to go for friends, family, fans, fast times, and far throws. I am honored and excited to be back at Millrose in 2020.
