TheTrackAthlete.com was created because of a lack of information and quality video of track & field competitions. A couple years ago when I started throwing the javelin I found it tough to find information about the event and information about the athletes who compete in the event. I would try to look up information about athletes who did well at US Championships or Olympic trials and would fail to find out anything about them. How do they train? Where do they train? How long have they been throwing. If I was asking these questions I knew there had to be others out there wondering the same things. More video is beginning to appear online but it is often badly degraded. Usually training footage isn't more than a clip or two of an athlete maxing out on a lift. None of the elite track & field athletes seem to have video blogs mainly because it is very time intensive to run the video equipment and do all the video editing. My blogumentary serves as a training resource for athletes looking for a variety of exercises that can be done as well as a real life test of whether this type of training is effective for me or not.
Along with my training and competition footage I also often times happen to record other events if the competition looks like it is going to be really good. Since javelin is my event it will most likely get the most attention right now while I'm still competing. Second priority is other technical events and as the last priority would be running events.
In subjective sports such as baseball, football, and basketball you are only as good as the coach thinks you are. In track & field there isn't much a coach can say if you put a better mark on the board. This sport is about pushing your body to the limit and all that matters in the end are the results.
