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 that, he had a 20-year post collegiate javelin throwing career, that saw him compete in two Olympic Games (’12 , ’16), two IAAF World Championships (’09, ’15) and two Pan American Games (’11, ’15). Sean also competed in the USA national championships for 14 straight years, winning three times (’10, ’14, ’15). Sean spent 10 years training at the US Olympic training center in Chula Vista, Calif., where he was surrounded by some of the best throwing coaches and athletes from all over the world. Sean is beyond excited to share his experiences with the Furey Athletics athletes and help them to realize their true potential.
Sean was also a two-time Academic All-American while at Dartmouth (’04, ’05) while studying engineering, and in 2005 was voted the USTFCCCA Scholar Athlete of the Year. He understands the challenges of competing at an institution that is top both academically and athletically and looks forward to helping the Furey Athletics athletes find the required balance. Sean currently lives in Barrington, R.I. with his wife and two children and works as a mechanical engineer at Raytheon Technologies.
