Collectively student athletes under my tutelage have decided not to referred to as throwers. No one really throws field implements - we are flingers (javelin), slingers (discus), and pushers (shot).

Background:
My javelin career began what seems now - eons ago. Leaving the flinging of javelins to younger athletes, yet still looking for that endorphin release during competition - I play a lot of golf! My favorite foresome would include my brother Jim, and two others!
My coaching philosophy is simple - I love what I do and I do it for the athletes.
I strive to support every athlete I come in contact with a positive level of guidance in athletics and everyday life.
Annual Training Schedule:
Phase I: Foundation
Encapsulates full
range of movement (ROM) - we
are trying to get the mind to talk to the muscles. Each athlete progresses
through a holistic training program that begins with building a sturdy
foundation of overall strength to ward off injury.
Phase II: Power Development
Now we are going to utilize our
newly acquired strength to emphasize speed and agility for technical
movements. We increase
the intensity of movement over a shorter duration
of time and include ballistic plyometrics.
Phase III: Competition
Bringing it all to fruition and watch what happens!
Phase IV: Off Season
Relaxing away from the field and training. Enjoy other sports to keep moving.
