IOWA CHAMPION
My name is James Costello and I am a track and field athlete for the University of Iowa. I throw the 35 weight, shot put, discus and hammer. Before I started going to Dr. Kaminski, I had very sharp pains in my left shoulder when I would try to throw. I also had lower back pains that would limit me in the amount of training I could do. Dr. Kaminski, through several visits, helped me to the point where I could practice at full speed and compete to the best of my ability. I had very high expectations for this year. The past year I went to the USA National Indoor and Outdoor Championships. I finished 13th in the nation in the Hammer Throw. This year, the last of my college eligibility, was going to be my best. The only problem was I couldn't get the most out of my body due to my previously mentioned injuries. I wasn't throwing as far as I knew I could. After Dr. Kaminski helped me, my throwing increased and my goals were now again attainable. Recently, I was ranked first in the Big Ten in the weight throw and finally was named All-American after I finished in 8th place at the NCAA Championship meet. I still have my outdoor season left and with the help of Dr. Kaminski, I expect nothing less than being an All-American in the Hammer Throw and ranked in the top 10 in the United States.
