I meant throwing stuff as a child helped me a lot with general technique and strength for the javelin (same with playing a lot of tennis, especially the serve). It meant that when I first picked up a javelin and threw it, it was a kind of natural action. My PE teachers noticed this and put me forward for competition. 40m is very good. You’d easily hit 60m with a run-up and just improving the crossover and delivery. 🙂
