I offer online coaching that includes year-round throws programming for the Highland Games, as well as weekly video review of throws. Here is a picture of peak performance to motivate you:
Heavy/Light Throws Coaching finally offers a definitive alternative to the “go out and throw” philosophy that hamstrings so many athletes on their Highland Games journey. With Heavy/Light, we will use principles from the book to give you a plan of attack for each practice. As well, this program runs year-round, and as such will give your training a “big picture” not only in terms of your season, but as it concerns the progression of your career.
Throwing is a unique skill we must develop, but there is absolutely nothing saying that it cannot be approached with the same principles, structure, and discipline we (should) have in the weight room.
Perhaps the most valuable tool in Heavy/Light Throws Coaching is the weekly video review. Athletes will have the undivided attention of an experienced coach that will review a throw, drill, or variation, each week. The direct communication and feedback from these video reviews is invaluable, and many athletes credit their greatest progress to them. Used in combination with the weekly programming, you will make unprecedented progress in both your comfort level with the implements, and your distances in competition.
