Episode 25: Coaching and Being a National Champion with Andrew Bloom and Eloise Cappellano

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast! This is Episode 25, not 26 so my apologies in the intro haha This week I had on my first ever coach/athlete duo in Andrew Bloom and Eloise Cappellano The pair worked together at Whitworth University in Washington which is known as a Division III powerhouse in the javelin During her time as a coach at Whitworth, El has worked with 21 All-Americans and 2 National champions, one of those being Andrew Bloom Andrew is a national champion, multiple time All-American, and one of the best throwers in Division III history. What is crazy about their stories is neither of them expected to be involved in the javelin at all. El was a distance runner for her career and never participated in a single throwing event. Andrew only started throwing after being cut from the baseball team after disobeying the coach’s orders and playing intramural Frisbee. Stories like these are what make this podcast so enjoyable for me, you truly never know how people found the javelin If you have any recommendations on other coach/athlete duos you want to hear from, feel free to let me know! I loved this idea and want to do it again soon Thank you to El and Andrew from coming on and as always, enjoy! Check out my Instagram @throughthepoint_podcast Song: Coast to Coast by Galassie ft.
