Furey Athletics is built to help throwers learn faster, throw farther, and stay healthy.
We coach javelin athletes at every level, from first year throwers to Olympic level competitors. Our goal is simple: build athletes who can execute great technique under speed, fatigue, and pressure. We do this by seeking to inspire and enable javelin throwers and coaches to master the art and science of the throw—integrating technique, athleticism, and mindset to realize their full potential and love of the pursuit
Our Mission
Furey Athletics exists to develop javelin athletes who are technically confident, physically prepared, and durable across the season. We integrate coaching, training structure, and decision making so performance is repeatable when it matters most.
- Clarity: one technical priority at a time.
- Confidence: progress markers that show what is improving and why.
- Longevity: load management that protects availability.
- Community: a team culture that raises standards and effort.
How We Operate
These are the standards we use to guide programming, feedback, and culture week to week.
- Progressions that connect posture, rhythm, and sequencing to real throwing speed.
- Strength and power training that supports key positions, not just bigger numbers.
- Feedback that is simple enough to remember and specific enough to execute.
- Support for athletes balancing school, other sports, and life stress.
Head Coach and Founder
Elite experience plus an engineering mindset, delivered with practical coaching that works in real seasons.
Head coach and founder Sean Furey has been coaching and consulting with athletes at the high school, college, and Olympic level since 2017. Prior to coaching, he built a 20 year post collegiate javelin career that included two Olympic Games (2012, 2016), two IAAF World Championships (2009, 2015), and two Pan American Games (2011, 2015). Sean competed at the USA national championships for 14 straight years, winning three times (2010, 2014, 2015).
Sean spent 10 years training at the US Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California, surrounded by elite throwers and coaches from around the world. He is excited to share what he learned and help athletes realize their true potential.
Sean was a two time Academic All American at Dartmouth (2004, 2005) while studying engineering, and in 2005 was voted the USTFCCCA Scholar Athlete of the Year. He understands the demands of competing at an institution that is top academically and athletically and helps athletes build the habits required to balance both.
Sean lives in Barrington, Rhode Island with his wife and two children and works as a mechanical engineer at Raytheon Technologies.
