I'm Dan Labbadia​ & I started Jacked Javelin to make Javelin education accessible to everyone in the world. I hear all the time "My coach is not an expert in Javelin, I have no guidance" ​​
​
Luckily for you, I am an expert and have coached one of the best throwers in United States history, as well as helped thousands through my online programs.
Although I started my career coaching some of the best athletes in the country, my speciality is taking beginner throwers, and developing them to improve 5-14m in a single season, to put them on track to improve 20m in 4 years of working with me. Click here to view our top testimonials.

Located In Milford Connecticut
In 2019 I had Tommy John Surgery to repair a torn UCL in my elbow and in 2020 our season was canceled due to the pandemic.
​
I did not compete from 2018-2021 and used this time to level up my knowledge and physicality through hiring private coaches online and in person.
In 2020-2021 we were not allowed to have practice as a team so I took 2 freshman under my wing and entered a player coach role during my last 2 seasons on the team, upon graduation I went right into full time coaching and found my passion for helping these two accelerate in every way possible.
After 2 seasons of this player coach role, Nevan Burke had improved 11 meters and Jordan Davis had improved 9 meters, and won the D2 national championship in 2022
​
I retired at the age of 23 with a PB of 60.04m (entered college at 51m)
In 2023 after my first season officially coaching on staff, I was disappointed with myself because I was only able to commit 2 days a week to coaching javelin due to having a full time job as a strength coach. My athletes improved 2m each that season, but I felt like I could give them more.
I went part time as a strength coach that summer and began working on building the Jacked Javelin Brand, so I could dedicate more time to Javelin coaching.
In September 2023 My Friend Brett Hart (the owner of Hitman Performance) and I started a podcast to focus on Bridging "The Gap" Between training and on field performance, and how Brett as a strength coach, and me as a Javelin coach, use training to impact the sport specific needs of athletes.
December 1st 2023, the first Jacked Javelin Program was released
In 2024 Jordan improved his PR by 10m, broke the US college record, and won his 2nd D2 national championship, coming up 1.05m away from qualifying for the 2024 Paris Olympics with a throw of 84.45m
​
Nevan PRd by 7m improving to 67m and was top 10 in the nation for D2 schools
​
Both of them improved over 20m in 4 years of working with me.
