Last month, JoeKovacsUSA became the shot put world champion. His wife & former shot putter, Ashley, coaches him 🙌
Ashley, who's going into her sixth year as the throws coach at Ohio State, started throwing when she was around 12 years old, and continued it throughout college at the University of Kentucky. She was a four-time All-American and, senior year, was runner-up in shot put at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships. What's kept her hooked on the sport is the fact that you can always improve.
"When I first started coaching guys, I had a couple that I feel were tripped out by it. And I was just like, 'Listen, when you throw farther than I did, then you can stop listening to me.'"Ashley continued,"When I first started coaching guys, I had a couple that I feel were tripped out by it. And I was just like, 'Listen, when you throw farther than I did, then you can stop listening to me. But until then, let's just stay on the same page.
That collaboration was key early on when, after moving to Ohio in Fall 2017 to start a life with Ashley, Joe experimented with a new technique that he worked on with long-time coach Art Venegas. Joe struggled with that technique,, and was considering retirement. Ashley officially transitioned into coaching him full-time at the start of 2019, she said, and feels her love of coaching also played a part in Joe's decision to stick with his athletic career.
"He was in a dark place, he was at a low point, and he fought his way out of that. And I think my role was just believing that he could."
