Why Train With Me?

Coaching for the Shot Put & Discus Event (Only). I offer In-person & Zoom practice sessions (both Private & Group). After having the opportunity to be a part of the Olympic tryouts in Shot Put and Discus, I have used my experience to create a coaching strategy that works. During my private and group sessions, athletes will experience drills, exercises, and a lot of ring work to help them learn the techniques of shot put and discus events. I will also show them what a throwers’ workout should look like, provide a focus on their journey to becoming a great competitor and student athlete. I am looking for athletes and parents who understand that the shot put and discus are very difficult events to master. The technique is unique, so you must be willing to commit to practicing and training year-round. I believe mastery is a combination of 70% technique and 30% talent & desire to compete. As a part of my services, I will include a workout plan to enhance their bodies for all overall performance (power, speed, quickness and endurance) which will help them to master the techniques of both events. So, if you really believe in your athlete and want them to get to the next level, then I am the coach for you. I take my work very sincerely and I am willing to go over and beyond to get them to the next level. Winning is what I believe in. My ultimate goal is to assist your athlete with achieving a track & field athletic scholarship. Imagine being able to send your child to an institution of higher education without the financial burden of tuition. As a father myself, I want the best for my child and I know you do as well. Mastery of the shot put and discus could be a means to a wonderful end. Consistent training is required for mastery – extended gaps between sessions will delay success and movement to the next level. Consistency is the key!

How can you help someone improve their game?
I help my athletes, with knowledge of my pass athletic experience/ career. So, they can understand the big picture of what it takes to become, and athlete, elite athlete, and overall person.
What does a typical training session look like?
I have created and 7 steps technique to try and make a difficult technique as easy as possible. I breakdown each step and add a step until all 7 steps are completed. Once all 7 steps are understood, we then start the throwing process. Once we connect each step in the proper order / timing of the technique will begin to feel smooth or easier. Then the athlete will begin to build the confident in the new technique, and good things will begin to happen. Effective Immediately: A 24 hours' notice is required to cancel your practice session, or a charge will incur. All practice sessions canceled prior to the 24-hour cut off will be rescheduled at no charge. Moving forward, time. slots cannot be held without a paid session, (i.e., you must have a paid session available to book or hold and time slot).
