Dear Throws Coach, dedicated thrower, and awesome parent who has volunteered to coach one of the most technically complex sports in Track and Field…
If you would like to know a FAST, simple and guaranteed way to truly explode your numbers and see faster results…
Without spending hours and hours searching for some guidance online…
Then keep reading.
Did you know that the average young thrower gives up their attempts at throwing the rotational shot, glide shot and/ or the discus after 2 years?
It’s not that they got bored or they don’t have the talent, work ethic, or drive.
It’s because finding information on HOW to throw is as tough as the sport itself
Throws coaches are few in numbers, and in many areas they are nonexistent.
and when you add those 2 factors together, your progress can look like this…
And it’s only going to get worse. A lot worse.
But it’s not all bad news.
Because this page holds the key to exactly what to do …
Well, first… contrary to what the haters will say, we do not offer a factory method, unless by factory they mean
that the TCR System produces real, lasting results that only keep going forward…
giving coaches and throwers the throws training skills they were looking for and they’re
kicking a$$ and taking names….
then YES, you bet we’re a factory that delivers results & excellence!
You see, we’ve spent over 10+yrs perfecting this throws education system through
countless hours of coaching athletes and coaches from all over the country & the world.
… studying an obnoxious volume of technical materials, throws videos & the actual science of the throw
… not to mention, I’m obsessed with mastering proper throws technique
You’re more than welcome to take on this mountain of information I have collected, tested in the real world, and applied for
over 30 years as a competitive thrower to present day as a throws coach.
But simply becoming a TCR Member and accessing all the solid throws coaching content is a lot easier.
I’ve personally experienced every road block as an athlete AND as a coach…
so when I say ” I get it”.
I MEAN IT!
The TCR® system contains hours of step-by-step throws coaching tutorial videos for rotational shot put, glide shot & the discus throw. By breaking down each throwing event into 6 pillars, you will easily learn each technical position and how to move throughout the throw. Once you start seeing the throw correctly, you will bust through any technical obstacles standing in your way.
Let’s face it, ya can’t teach, or do what you don’t know. Let the TCR® system guide you through all the stages of throwing success. Whether you’re a coach or a thrower who needs to coach yourself, the TCR® system was built to give you all the tools you need to finally break through those technical roadblocks and bring you the BIG throws you’re working so hard to achieve.

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…
ATN has over 532+ Championship Titles (…and growing). Through our College Prep throws training, we have coached several talented athletes to achieve marks that have landed them scholarships to some of the most sought after Universities in the country!
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.
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!
