And this might sound nuts, but these are also goals.

To help my fellow athletes get better.

To cheer and encourage every guy or gal on the field, from the newcomer who is just figuring it out to the guy who beats me by 6 inches on the last throw of the event.

My goal is to remember that it's not a number on a piece of paper that counts. No matter how good I get there's always someone else who's better. No, what counts is challenging myself, what counts is getting out there and participating and not spending life on the sidelines.... What counts is helping myself and others achieve their goals. When the smaller guy who's new throws twenty feet and I throw forty, but that's his PR, then I shout WITH him and I buy him the beer, because what it really comes down to is... there are no losers on that field. Not in my book.
