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…

Throwers train a lot, and yet throwing results can get stuck in one spot. Don’t stress out!
… it happens to everyone, at ALL throwing levels.
As a result, coaches and athletes will ask, “What am I not seeing? How can I fix this?”
First of all, are you sure you are asking all the RIGHT questions?
Listen, if you are not looking at the throw correctly, diagnosing where to make adjustments is almost impossible.
” I had a talented athlete that just couldn’t throw with any consistency. I submitted a few videos to Coach Johnson, and got back a lot more than I ever expected! Coach Johnson sent me back all my videos with very detailed coaching instructions explaining to me exactly where the technical mistakes were being made and how to easily fix them. Within just 1 practice, I FINALLY got the results from my athlete I was looking for- I’m sold, the TCR is real and it works!”
A Shot Put and Discus Video Analysis will help keep you on the right track
When it comes to throwing the shot or the discus, a lot can go wrong in those 2 seconds in the ring. Hence, it is important that every coach and athlete understand the proper biomechanics of each position.
The 6 Pillar Training System™ in the TCR™, quickly identifies where the technical mistakes are happening, and teach throwers & coaches how to throw the shot put, glide shot, or discus…
It’s a fast track way to zero in on what’s holding you back!
Whether you’re a beginner or you’ve been around the throwing sector a few years, a video analysis is a powerful way to get a skilled pair of eyes on your throw, or your athlete’s throw if you are a coach 😉
Once you submit your videos, Coach Johnson will apply his Neo skills (yes, that’s a Matrix reference) and will begin to analyze each micro movement of the throw, noting any missed opportunities in technique, strength levels, positions…. basically everything right down to the nucleus of the throw.
You will then receive your video back with a comprehensive plan of attack. Referring to the TCR® system, you will receive valuable coaching cues of what drills to use, what adjustments to make, and anything else that is needed to unleash your biggest throw yet!
” It’s remarkable how his specific pointers make such an immediate difference!”
” My son decided he wanted to throw, but his school doesn’t have a throws coach. So, I stepped in with no experience. I ordered a few video analysis and after my first one, I knew I was in the right place. Now I’m a TCR member and my son is doing great and improving all the time! Thanks Coach Johnson for all you do.”
