Morgan, whose 64.11m is the best mark by a Jamaican in the shot put, has tremendous respect for the upcoming throwers and is hoping to play some part in their continued improvement.

"It's a positive influence," said Morgan of his impressions on the effect he may have on the youngsters. "A lot of those younger guys I know do look up to me and I have a lot of respect for them, so I'm just trying to keep the tradition and keep things going and, hopefully, I can transmit something positive to them."

Morgan, who finished 10th in his qualification group in Daegu with a best distance of 61.75, is still teeming with pride and looking to use his experience from the Worlds at next month's Pan Am Games in Guadalajara, Mexico.

"It's definitely a blessing, that's all I can say to describe it," said Morgan of his Daegu experience. "I told someone years ago that I would be the first to make it to this level and so I have to just thank God for bringing me here this far and to the people who have supported and shown me love throughout.

"It was a good experience for me overall, but now it's time to get ready for Pan Am. I'll put some things together and, hopefully, we'll see better performances," Morgan added.

Some of the things that the 28-year-old will be looking to work on ahead of the October 14-30 championships are the disc's height of release as well his movement in the circle.

"I need to work on getting my discus up a little bit. It (release angle) has been too flat and I'm rushing out the back, so I need to slow down the back, get it up and I know it (disc) will fly," said Morgan.
