Private or Group Throws Coaching
Javelin
Javelin is one of the most technical and physically demanding events in track & field.
My coaching focuses on building efficient mechanics, safe throwing patterns, and consistent distance gains.
What we work on:
-
Approach rhythm, speed control, and transition mechanics
-
Proper withdrawal and carry position
-
Impulse step timing and block mechanics
-
Arm path efficiency to reduce shoulder and elbow stress
-
Release angle, follow-through, and consistency
Programming includes:
-
Event-specific throwing drills
-
Arm care, mobility, and strength guidance
-
Volume management for in-season vs off-season
-
Video feedback with clear, simple cues
Ideal for high school, collegiate, and post-collegiate throwers looking to improve distance while staying healthy.
Discus
Rhythm, timing, and controlled speed
Discus is about fluid movement and precise timing.
My coaching emphasizes smooth transitions, strong positions, and efficient rotational mechanics.
What we work on:
-
Entry positioning and balance
-
Turn mechanics and rhythm development
-
Orbit control and release consistency
-
Speed control through the ring
-
Footwork and posture alignment
Programming includes:
-
Drill progressions for rhythm and timing
-
Video breakdown to simplify technical changes
-
Competition-focused cues
-
Throw-to-throw consistency development
Perfect for athletes who feel powerful but inconsistent, or those looking to refine technique for competition.
Shot Put
Build power, balance, and repeatable technique
Shot put success comes from efficient force transfer — not just raw strength. I help athletes develop strong positions, controlled movement, and confident execution in the ring.
What we work on:
-
Glide or rotational technique (based on the athlete)
-
Power position mechanics and sequencing
-
Footwork, balance, and blocking
-
Release mechanics and consistency under pressure
-
Strength-to-throw transfer
Programming includes:
-
Event-specific technical drills
-
Throwing volume planning
-
Strength and movement recommendations
-
Competition preparation and cue refinement
Great for athletes learning proper technique or experienced throwers looking to clean up mechanics and add distance.
