Let the Wind Guide You
Stories from the road, the gym floor, and the moments that didn’t go as planned.
Here you’ll find the real stories behind the throws – the headwinds that slowed me down, the tailwinds that carried me farther than expected, and the lessons hiding inside every miss, mistake, and breakthrough. From school gyms to world-record attempts, this is where I share what’s working, what’s not, and what I’m learning as I live out the idea that momentum is built one effort at a time.
If you’re looking for perfect, this page isn’t for you. If you’re looking for progress – welcome.
