@EACoachDavis expose him to everything sooner rather than later to gauge natural ability or glaring weaknesses, that being said I think hurdles and jumps (vault included) tend to be areas where you can score lots of points and training for all of them meshes well compared to throws for example

I've got a kid who might be a decent college decathlete but I've never really coached someone who had that potential. We're focusing on general speed and power development but what events should we be prioritizing in competition? Would love some tips!
