In 1994 I was stuck at 176′ for 3 years. My mother worked at another HS and found out about Coach Mirabelli. In six weeks he changed my entire form and gradually I went from 176′ to 231’5″ in six weeks of training earning me a full scholarship to the University of Nebraska. I became a National Champion! Thanks to you Coach Mirabelli for all your hard work and knowledge in the throws!

Congratulations to all my Mirabelli Trainees at the 2025 NJ Meet of Champions!
Isabella Frattura threw an incredible 150’3” bomb on her final throw in the finals! Isabella is now a 2-time MOC Champion and will compete at Nationals in two weeks before heading off to Liberty University.
Another standout: Edison HS Junior Landen Cruz threw a personal best of 198’8” on his first throw, earning the Gold! Landen trained with me for just 3 sessions, improving from 163’0” to 198’8” — an amazing accomplishment.
Also placing in the javelin finals were Burlington Twp.’s Anthony Barber (175’7”) and Dylan Fitzpatrick (175’5”). Earlier, Dylan won the Group championship with a throw of 188’10”.
In the discus, Henry Struble captured the Group 1 title with a winning throw of 165’5”!
I’ll be posting many more highlights from the Mark Mirabelli Throwing School this week. Hard work always prevails!

I started taking my son Anthony to Coach Mirabelli in April of 2005. I only have positive words to say about his training and the way he has built self confidence in my son in his throwing ability. Besides the improvement my son has shown in this short time, Mark had a way about him that brought out the best in my son. My son who is a quiet individual always had such great things to say about coach Mirabelli and always looked forward to his workouts. My son trained to throw the discus, and now this summer he will be trained to throw the Javelin and just can’t wait to start. We owe much Thanks to Mark Mirabelli for all he has done for Anthony and for all I know he will continue to do. Thank you Mark for all your time and effort in making Anthony a better track athlete!
