Following his disappointing exit from the discus event at the World Championships now taking place in Beijing, China, national discus record holder Jason “Dadz” Morgan believes he needs a coach to make the next step in his career.

The former Calabar High thrower who will be 33-years-old in October, has been training himself recently but he now admits that he needs the extra help despite his vast experience.

Morgan, who has the second best throw in the world this year with 68.19m, could only manage 60.85m after three attempts and crashed out of the championship in the first round.

“I realise now that it’s really challenging and I finally feel that I can’t do it alone,” said Morgan after his disappointing performance in Beijing.

He continued: “Hopefully next year will be a good year and I am hoping for some changes where I can find myself a coach and don’t have to be working full time while trying to get a medal”.

Morgan won a bronze medal at last year’s Commonwealth Games in Scotland with a throw of 62.34 metres, then in June of 2015, he established a new national record of 68.19m.

The 300 pounder has failed to get back to that distance and was beaten at Jamaica’s Senior Championships throwing 61.89 for second behind Fedrick Dacres’ 62.23m but has cited niggling injuries that have hampered his progress.

“Well, I got hurt and a lot of people don’t know,” said Morgan of his critics. “My back and one my knees were injured and everybody knows I don’t have a medical team, so I make the best of it when I come to a Championships to get treatment but I wasn’t in throwing shape then,” noted Morgan, who won silver at the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games.

He was, however, thankful for how far he has progressed despite all the challenges facing him throughout the year.

“It just has to do with consistency. Nothing consistent for me throughout the year and I think that’s why when it comes to a championships it’s really difficult to stay on task,” he pointed out.

Morgan’s who just competed at his third World Championship following appearances in 2007 and 2011 and was at the 2012 Olympic Games without reaching the final, remains philosophical.

“It’s just one of those days, I am always positive despite what I face daily but I know one day better must come,” said Morgan.
