over junior high school, high school and college, as well as post-collegiate competitions. The most common incident would be someone from another sport coming by, asking if they could try and throw since they often were more athletic than I, and hit themselves in the back of the head with the javelin due to throuwing it like a ball versus through the point as required. It was a quick lesson that technique, in addition to athleticism, is required.
