Why I Started Beyond the Sector
I started Beyond the Sector because I’m passionate about shining a spotlight on throwers in track and field—a group that often doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. As a thrower myself, I know firsthand how much dedication, strategy, and skill it takes to excel in this sport, and I want to give it the platform it deserves. Beyond that, this blog is also my way of documenting my journey to becoming a part of Team USA while inspiring others who share the same dream.
It doesn’t stop there. On top of being a physician, my ultimate goal is to transition this passion into a career in sports broadcasting and journalism. I envision myself commentating for NBC Sports at the Olympics and Diamond League Events, focusing on field events and bringing the stories of the athletes to life through interviews. I believe Beyond the Sector is not only a way to elevate throwers and the field events community but also a stepping stone to achieving my dream of amplifying these voices on a global stage.
Beyond the Sector is brought to you by SGB Media in San Francisco, CA! I’m Sydney Guthrie-Baker (SGB), a former Division I track and field competitor with a continuing passion for the sport, especially in the hammer throw. I now train post-collegiately and bring my love for athletics and in-depth insights into every piece I write.
Join me as we dive deep into the fascinating world of track and field together!
