 Joe you and I actually have a few things in common one and obviously you guys are the biggest power throwing couple So I will start out with Ashley. So now you've been the coach I believe for two us national teams now I was there was coach for the world team for the men 2018 I did knackack in 2017 I did junior Pan Ams for the women and then I did the world championships for the men So you were an 11-time all SEC honors athlete you competed in two Olympic trials 2008 2012 Any rate introducing Joe obviously Joe a two-time world champion Olympic silver medalist So technically a three-time world medalist two-time world champion two-time US champion I think there's some very unique things in terms of as a coach how you're how you would feel about that Not only is this the athlete your coach and this is your husband to recap Doha You probably have to recap the whole the whole process of getting there She was named the coach in November around this time last year for the Doha a super excited for her But at the same time as you know USA's isn't easy and I punch that ticket So we weren't really able to kind of celebrate that fully until I got that done in Des Moines So it was definitely exciting just to be there in Doha with her by the time We got to Doha just to sum it up like we kind of hit the ground running She had to be there early because she was the team coach so I got hit there at the same time She did we strung together some of the best training. I think I've ever done in my life I'll tell you when you have to just brought the qualifier for me. I'll be brutally honest I hate the qualifying round more than anything I probably did something was crazy, especially people who know me and know me about warming up and how many warm-ups This was the first time that the A and the B group weren't going at the same time Normally it's two rings at once and they let him go So I actually heard that the A group got five throws in the ring for warm-ups So by the time I got out there I did two stand throws kind of just to start warming up assuming I'm gonna have three fulls And I actually only took one full and they cut us off three It was a little unfair that one group got more than the other yeah for you Ashley was there any like did you go into that too as the coach thinking? Oh, we'll go through your warm-up routine and I always know is the right as the coach It's always got to be like oh, yeah, everything's fine. Even though you might be dying inside You can't tell your athlete. Holy shit. Like I'm stressed. It's like yeah, it's it's no big deal So did you have any of that too? Yeah, I didn't like it I knew that they were cutting it close on time And I knew too that it was gonna be dependent upon like how quickly the guys walked like through the tunnel to get to His first full throw was pretty good But I just I know that in the past he's really judged himself for the day based off how his warm-ups were So I was a little bit apprehensive about that luckily Joe came through in veteran fashion and saved us on that one Obviously Walsh opens with a huge throw 2090 opener. I think in a lot of competitions, right? Most people could have could really easily mentally shut down like shit. This is this is done You kind of build you get two throws what 20 21 94 21 95 You're just kind of building up throughout the whole competition. I mean, this is like the kid dream scenario, right? I got one final throw I got my last chance to win the whole thing and clearly you put it together and you go from Fourth place you leapfrog everybody you hit 20 91. I mean it was just an amazing performance It's everything you would think the mindset of an athlete to be in that situation The amount of pressure that's on and to be able to come up and hit that throw What was going through your mind going into that throw to be honest Tom Walsh opening up a 75 feet I wasn't shocked by that because he had a day between the qualifying in the final Which is unusual and just the way the season's gone. You know when that happened. I was ready for that That's cool. Tom did that like I respect him for 75 feet. It's amazing But I'm not gonna get caught up in there I would have gotten so caught up with the head-to-head battle and fighting with emotion Rather than so going into the finals I started to add a little bit more that kind of changed my mindset like okay Let's go so by the time we got to the six right after the fifth round going to the six I walked over to her and she's just like looked at me and said come away with the PR And the truly I felt like it was every throw felt like I was building and I was checking off the boxes of everything We worked in practice every throw I took I had five throws previously that were all kind of like building Building even though they weren't as far in terms of execution in the ring So by the time I I sprint out of the back and face in the throw and I released the ball I screamed like crazy out of reaction and in that moment I did not think I won like I wanted to stress that because people think all you think you want I didn't know if I want I knew I executed everything. Now, of course when I ran over the stands I think I yelled at her and I told her I loved her But we turned around after that and when I saw 91 the first place next to it Yeah, I even yelled a little bit louder crazy because Ryan and Tom still had a throw after me even Romani too With Ryan coming back and throwing 2290 almost go for the win If he would have bumped me off like I would have had crazy amount of respect for him It's a hell of an accomplishment So I was just happy to be part of that competition and happy like the real thing is mindset It's one of those things where people sometimes when you talk about mindset they go. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's cool
