Should throwers follow Mo farahs example

Mo has gone abroad to another coach in search of better performances, should our throwers do the same? If we are ever going to win a major medal in throws should they be funded them to go abroad?

As a matter of fact, Mo Farah was offered a 'full package' in joining Alberto Salazar over in Oregon, even switched kit sponsors to Nike, so that he could settle over there along with his family and be able to live comfortably and train without any distractions of any kind on his mind. As well as a training group around that could help him make the most of his potential.

So a first important consideration is whether such a move for any thrower could be as viable in financial and living terms as progress facilitating over coaching set-up and regime. Don't forget that throwers don't get the same chances or very few earn substantial money out of sponsorship or competition fees. Further, it would make sense only if one could get a real high-standard coach that could offer a substantial promise. Alex van der Merwe went over to the States but has vanished into anonymity for instance.

Farah has been a well-established figure on the international scene so had a very good hand of cards at his command to attract wide interest and select the best option in his view. Would Salazar have been interested in him five years ago for instance?

On the other hand, there are good coaches that I'm aware of in Britain, better-rounded and taking care to enhance their training insight by collaborating with top foreign coaches and athletes, some of whom come very often to Britain to share their expertise. Therefore, I reckon that eventually some of the throws are going to improve to a good effect and certain events saw a considerable rise of standards last year.
