The Throws Training Revolution is Here
If you’ve been grinding solo, now you get a training program, a blueprint, and results.
Throwing is brutal to teach yourself. The technique is unforgiving. One bad cue, one sloppy habit—and your distance gets stripped. That’s where we come in.
We built the TCR Method to remove guesswork and weaponize your training:
- Clarity over chaos: Know exactly what to fix and why—no more YouTube roulette.
- A proven blueprint: The TCR 6-Pillar framework turns complex mechanics into repeatable wins.
- Coach-in-your-corner: Live weekly online sessions and real feedback so you stop stalling and start stacking PRs.
- Drills that translate to PRs: Performance-enhancing progressions that hardwire balance, torque, and timing= fast results!
This isn’t “try harder.” This is train smarter with a shot put and discus throws training system forged in reps, refined by results, and designed to make your next throw your best throw!
 REAL COACHING
Â
Training solo can only take you so far. Without real feedback & accountability, your progress hits a wall. Get real coaching, fix your mistakes, and push you through to the next level. That’s how you make real gains.
GET UNSTUCK
Â
You know you’ve got more in you, but you’re stuck hitting the same numbers. Every day you’re not dialing in your technique, you're leaving PRs on the table. Stop playing small and start getting the results you deserve.
FAST RESULTS
Â
You’re training, but you’re not seeing results. Why? Because you’re stuck in ineffective routines that aren’t pushing you to improve. If you don’t know exactly what you’re working on, every rep is just wasted energy.
THROWS TRAINING MYTHSÂ
❌ You just need to throw more to get better.
❌ Strength training alone will add distance.
❌ YouTube videos and Instagram tips will piece together into a system.
❌ If you're not improving, you're just not working hard enough.
❌ Good throwers are born, not made.
❌ You need an in-person coach to make real progress.
❌ Technique doesn't matter as much as being strong and explosive.
