Get ‘Em Before They’re GONE! Dear Throws Enthusiast, Please allow me to take a moment of your time to introduce you to the Long & Strong Throwers Journal (LSTJ). Since its inception in 1998, LSTJ has grown to 48 semi-gloss pages and is now mailed in an envelope to protect your valuable reading material. Year-by-year, issue-by-issue, I strive to improve the final product. Enclosed is a free copy of the April, 2004 issue to let you know what you have been miss- ing. LSTJ continues to be the only publication in the world dedicated to the throwing events in track and field. LSTJ is about more than technique and training. LSTJ focuses on the personal side as elite athletes and coaches give insight on the keys to success and the personalities behind their achievements. LSTJ provides throws coverage and photos from major competitions that you won’t find anywhere else. LSTJ touches on the issues that affect the throws community. LSTJ’s interviews with top name throwers such as Adam Nelson, Aretha Hill, Anna Norgren and Breaux Greer as well as with legends such as Al Oerter, Kate Schmidt and Michael Carter are invaluable. Whether you are a coach, athlete, official, or a high school, Open or Masters competitor, it is crucial you never stop learning! Enclosed in this mailing is a listing of all the issues published through April, 2004, and their contents. Please take a moment or two to peruse what you might have missed.
