AboutChris
I’m Chris Mirabelli — a former Rutgers University All-American javelin thrower, 3x Big Ten champion, 2x Olympic Trials Qualifier, and Team USA gold medalist with international competition experience.
As an athlete, I competed at the highest levels of collegiate and international track & field. I know firsthand what it takes to develop elite-level technique, train with purpose, stay healthy, and perform under pressure. That experience now shapes everything I do as a coach.
Since transitioning into coaching, I’ve worked with throwers of all levels and helped develop:
-
Multiple state champions
-
NCAA qualifiers
-
High school athletes earning PRs and college recruitment opportunities
-
Collegiate and post-collegiate throwers refining advanced technique
My coaching philosophy is simple:
-
Teach repeatable, efficient mechanics
-
Protect the athlete’s body through smart progression
-
Build confidence through measurable improvement
-
Adapt coaching to the athlete — not the other way around
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs or chasing volume for the sake of it. Every athlete I work with receives individualized technical coaching based on their event, experience level, and competitive goals.
Whether you’re a young athlete learning proper fundamentals, a high school thrower chasing championships and college opportunities, or an experienced competitor looking to refine your technique, my goal is the same — help you throw farther, stay healthy, and compete with confidence.
