Secret of Success: How Alyssa Wilson Developed into a World-Class Thrower

How does one start to become one of the best athletes in their sport these days? By watching YouTube, of course.

Welcome to this generation of athletes.

And Texas State track and field's Alyssa Wilson is using her foundation of online how-to's and throwing tutorials to put up marks this school has never seen and strive for goals only achieved on the world's biggest stage.

Not bad for the first thrower in her family who originally wanted to play basketball.

Wilson arrived in San Marcos this past January as a graduate transfer from UCLA.
