It did not take long for his meticulous research to pay dividends. Besting his first American record of 235'3" he set in Istanbul while serving overseas as an Army medic in 1945, in 1947 he established a new American record with an exceptional throw of 75.80 meters (248' 8") at the U.S. <a href="/wiki/Amateur_Athletic_Union" title="Amateur Athletic Union">AAU</a> Championships representing the Los Angeles Athletic Club; his mark was within ten feet of the global standard of 78.7 meters (258.2 feet) set by Finland's <a href="/wiki/Yrj%C3%B6_Nikkanen" title="Yrjö Nikkanen">Yrjö Nikkanen</a> in 1938. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Technique">Technique</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Steve_Seymour&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Technique"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Seymour helped improve and popularize a throwing position with more of a straight arm release with the arm over the head and close to vertical at one point. At the beginning of the throw, the head and upper body tilted backward and moved closer to vertical. At release, the arm would be extended overhead and slightly in front of the body, near the top of the arc, with the athlete often looking in the direction of the throw. The javelin may be initially held at an angle exceeding 45 degrees, but released at only around 30 degrees allowing a snap of the wrist and an elbow pivot, but getting most of the force from the shoulders. It was distinct from one earlier Finnish method that used a side arm release. Seymour's method seemed to more effectively use the muscle strength in the arms, shoulders, back and chest to power the throw than a side arm technique. The overhead or over the shoulder throw technique is required today in most competitions. Seymour also was an innovator in the development of strength training techniques specific to the javelin throw. For a period in his prime, Seymour was coached by <a href="/wiki/Dean_Cromwell" title="Dean Cromwell">Dean Cromwell</a>, who had served as the 1936 American Olympic Track Team Coach.<sup id="cite_ref-Track_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Track-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Sports_Reference_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sports_Reference-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-LA_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LA-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Medical_studies_and_Army">Medical studies and Army</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Steve_Seymour&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Medical studies and Army"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 1940's Seymour completed his medical studies at the Los Angeles College of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons and in later life practiced as an osteopath in addition to operating a clinic for alcoholics.<sup id="cite_ref-Sports_Reference_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Sports_Reference-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He won the AAU Junior in 1941, still under the name Seymour Cohen, but changed it not long after.<sup id="cite_ref-Track_3-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Track-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He coached track and attended the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy after college, then transferred to the Los Angeles College of Osteopathy in 1944, and married in June of that year, eventually having three children.
