Top Ten Ways to THROW BIG next season:

If you want to THROW FAR next season... 

 1. Set big goals for next season, then work harder than you ever thought you could to achieve them.
 2. Set small weekly and monthly goals that are obtainable between now and then.
 3. Come to Madison Throws Club sessions and clinics, get more reps, get more instruction.
 4. Work on strength, speed, agility, and explosiveness, find a speed and strength program and commit to it.
 5. Go to other clinics, great way to hear from other coaches and learn new things.
 6. Work on footwork with out the shot, disc, hammer, or jav.
 7. Do other sports! I believe in multi-sport athletes!
 8. Be a student of the throws, watch video of yourself, of others.
 9. Be a Student-Athlete, be a great student in the classroom, academics comes first.
10. There is no ability without eligibility. Follow your athletic code! In fact, live your code!

 THERE is NO OFF-SEASON!

THE ROAD to STATE

The road to STATE.

      The road to State, often takes twists and turns.  Sometimes it takes 4 years to get there, sometime even more. It takes countless hours in the weight room.  Thousands of drills. Thousands of throws.  It can take a little luck, but I believe that luck favors the prepared...
And you are ready, you've put in the time, even extra time.  Trust that the reps, drills, and throws have put you in a position to be your best when you need to be.
Good luck at Regionals, Sectionals and State.
Throw BIG, Throw FAR,
Coach Frontier
