…. and there are hundreds of others just like them across the country & around the world- Arete STRONG!

I’m Coach Erik Johnson, and I thought I’d take a moment to tell you a little about myself.

I started competing in Track and Field at 10yrs old. It was field day Aire Libre Middle School in Phoenix, AZ and I had to run in a race. As I ran, a bigger and faster kid, pushed me down and I fell. Determined to kick this kid’s a$$, I got up and ran as fast as my legs could carry me and won the race! (I believe there were a few choice words spoken on the winner’s block between him and me)

A woman, by the name of Illene Molinski, saw my grit on the track and approached my father and me. She suggested I join a track and field club her husband ran called- Paradise Valley Athletic Track Club- Go PVAC! read more…

THROWER STRONG

Each athlete that joins ATN is coached as an individual, and not a number! We assess and analyze each thrower’s strength and ability levels and design a program specifically structured to achieve the goals desired. Coach Johnson is always available to any thrower’s -and parents of the athlete- questions concerning training, requirements for a college entry, pro level programs, or master level program design.

IT TAKES GRIT

ATN is a no-fluff throws coaching program. Everything we do is about getting our athletes to be the best. From the weight room to the ring, ATN throws training program is 100% designed and structured for throwers; from an elite level thrower who’s been there! The Throwing Chain Reaction system is NOT for everyone! If you want to just “get by”, you are at the wrong place. You gotta LOVE THE GRIND in the weight room, in the ring, and especially at practice….. to be the best takes hard work, perseverance, and repetition!

WE SUPPORT COACHES

School throwing programs are far and few between across the country. That’s why at Arete Throws Nation we are dedicated to assisting each & every throws coach who’s looking for help. We’ve supported & assisted hundreds of throws coaches across the country- from middle school, to high school and the volunteer parent coach ( you are rockstars!) If it takes a village to raise a kid, then it takes a nation to develop an athlete in the throwing events- AN Arete NATION!

track and field shot put and discus throws camp summer Phoenix AZ

MAKE THIS THE SUMMER OF PRs & BIG THROWS!

0Weeks0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds

Over 10,000 athletes & coaches have transformed their results by learning the TCR system.

Although we can’t show you all of them & their successes, here are a few of them sharing their experiences & thoughts about the TCR camps & learning the TCR system.

Why you need to attend this this throws camp

Does this sound like you?

No matter how hard you try or how hard you train, you can’t seem to connect the throw.

You know you have a lot to work on at each practice, but time is not on your side each day.

You’re quickly learning that there’s more to this “throwing thing” than just being athletic

YOU KEEP TRYING NEW THINGS AND NOTHING WORKS

You’re tired of not getting results, or at least not seeing results fast enough. You’re looking for some GOOD COACHING INFO where you can learn how to throw, how to train and how to train in a way where results keep going forward, and not backwards!

YOU KNOW IF YOU HAD SOME GUIDANCE OR SOMETHING TO LEARN FROM YOU’D CRUSH THIS!

We get it.

After hundreds of throws camps, and tens of thousands of athletes & coaches, we have developed a throws camp that is unlike any other camp out there- PERIOD.

Our throws camps are built entirely on the TCR system; a step by step throws training system where we take the complexity of the throw and deliver it in a 6 pillar format.

Once an athlete, a parent of an athlete, or a coach attends a TCR throws camp, they find the answers they’ve been looking for.

Athletes and Coaches very quickly find themselves getting results that would normally take 1 – 3 years before the camp day ends!

How to apply the 6 Pillars Of The Throw® for immediate results!
What phase your throws training should as we head towards the upcoming track season
How to identify technical errors in your throw and most importantly…
HOW TO MAKE LASTING ADJUSTMENTS FOR BIG THROWS!

SIGN UP NOW AND LET’S GET YOU ON TRACK TO THROWING FAR!

LUNCH:
We will break for a light lunch- 30 min.

We recommend that all camp attendees DO NOT LEAVE for a lunch.

To keep the camp on time, we ask that you bring:
- A snack- fruit and veggies work best.
- Lunch – keep it light and healthy. Heavy foods and lots of sun = no fun 🙁
- Water…. lots of water…. no, seriously, bring ice cold water.
SHOES AND IMPLEMENTS:

Throwing shoes are HIGHLY recommended for participants… Coaches too!

We will be doing a lot of drills, movements, and throwing. Coaches also will be asked to do the drills and apply the TCR® system. This speeds up the learning process and launches your throwing progress.

If possible, please bring implements and make sure they are clearly marked with your name, or school name. The more implements, the more throws and that equals RESULTS!

Discover The Throwing Chain Reaction™ System

Improper technique, or “I think it’s right” coaching can put your throwing results straight into the grave! Learn the true science of each throw, and regardless if you’re a first time thrower/ coach, or a veteran… you will see a significant transformation.
Identify What Part Of The Throw Is Limiting Your Ability To THROW FAR!

Discovering what is holding you back is a game changer in any throws program. Is it the weight room, or my technique?…. it’s usually both, but the BIG throw stopper is usually incorrect technique! Wrong technique followed up with incorrect coaching adjustments will just take a workable thrower and bury them. Don’t let bad habits be your lasting legacy! Let’s find where in your throw needs attention, THEN learn how to fix it – for good!
Learn The Most Effective Drills, How To Do Them Properly, And Why They Dramatically Improve Your Results

Aaah, yes drills! At the TCR™ camps, you will be doing lots of these… and you’ll be learning the RIGHT DRILLS FOR MAX RESULTS!!! I can’t tell you how many YouTube videos I see with drills that make zero sense, or do nothing to improve the athlete, let alone transfer to big throws. Executing the right drills, the right way is the key to every championship thrower!
Fix Common Throwing Mistakes- FAST!

Let’s face it… this is probably why you’re reading all this info about this camp in the first place, right? Throwing the shot put and the discus is not easy, but it sure is AWESOME! It’s even better as you keep getting better and better with each training phase. Over the years, while training throwers and coaches from all over the world, I see many of the same mistakes. So, let’s identify them and wipe them out!

“The TCR™ system… it’s straight forward, easy to understand, & I’m excited to coach it! “

We know why you’re here.

You’re wanting to get more out of your shot put and discus throws coaching.

Learning Track and Field throwing events: Glide Shot, Rotational Shot Put & the Discus throws is hard… really hard.

It’s technical, it’s not natural, and you have to spend equal time between building up strength levels & mastering throws technique.

For throwers and parents of throwers, you find you’re on a deserted island looking for a throws coach…

and if you are a throws coach, well… you’re like a unicorn! Rare & beautiful.

But at the end of the day, throwing the shot put and the discus is awesome!

It’s a sport of warriors, gladiators and truly the OGs of the Olympic games.

So why isn’t it more popular?

Because unlike football or soccer, where you can find a congressional library of information on how to play, and there are coaches everywhere you look, throwing is more like a scavenger hunt…

Except, you have no idea what it is you’re looking for.

Arete Throws Nation was developed to give you the power of expert throws training knowledge- whether you’re a coach, an athlete, or a parent trying to find the most accurate shot put and discus throws coaching guidance!

We offer several different options to provide you with all the throws training information & education needed to UNLOCK YOUR FULL POTENTIAL and achieve the results you want.

Whatever it is for you…

We’ve got good news for you-

This is EXACTLY why we built the Throwing Chain Reaction System®, or TCR for short.

Once inside this comprehensive track and field throws training system, you’ll be consistently getting better at training and coaching for bigger results faster than you ever thought possible.

No more spending hours searching online for some glimmer of hope video – in fact you can enjoy training or coaching again since you now know what to do and how to do it.

If you’ve been throwing for a while or coaching your whole life, you’ll gain so much more insight and start advancing quickly.

Nothing is more motivating than success.

and it all starts at Pillar 1… oh, you’ll learn all about that inside the TCR System.

SEE YOU THERE!

Then this will be the most exciting throws coaching system you’ll ever have.

Here’s why:

How you SEE, TRAIN, and COACH the throws can make or break your goals to achieve greatness.

Sounds pretty obvious, right?

WRONG!

While there are a few places you can go to see some throws videos…

The fact is, the #1 way to truly understand how to throw

How to approach training when you’re new to the sport

How you structure a practice when you’ve been coaching for a few years…

… or even if you’ve never seen a discus in your life…

Comes from having a comprehensive, structured, educational, throws coaching training system…

… wow, that’s a lot of adjectives!

The throw happens in 2 seconds for a beginner to intermediate thrower, and just about 1.5 seconds if you’re a pro/ Olympic level thrower.

it as you advance your way through the system.

Listen, maybe you’ve tried some online courses in the past and have been dissatisfied and it didn’t help at all…

Or maybe you did a little coaching course, and thought you saw a glimmer of hope, but it soon fizzled…

… or worse, your results went backwards-

AHHH, the kiss of death for a thrower.

Well, below I have a series of FREE mini classes for you to see.

This is a great way for you to get a taste of the good life.

It’s yours to keep, and you can – and should- watch it as many times as you’d like!
