TCR SUMMER ONLINE THROWS CAMP
JUNE 22nd thru JULY 18th
The 2020 track & field season sure was a bust!
Just when things got started, everything stopped on a dime and was closed.
No meets, no district championships, no state or national titles given…
… however, did you ever think that the closures due to COVID-19 just gave you a competitive advantage?
Of course it’s not your fault you couldn’t go out and throw,
but don’t let this stop you from achieving your goals.
Instead, take advantage of this time to learn the #1 part of throwing that crushes everyone- TECHNIQUE!
Summer throws camps have closed all across the country… heck even around the world!
Well, as the saying goes….
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade…
Or a killer vodka collins (no judging here)
After long nights at the drawing table, and maybe a few tears,
we believe we have developed a throws camp experience that’ll forever change how you learn the shot put, glide shot and the discus throw.
This summer, Arete Throws Nation ® presents – The TCR® Onlinel Throws Camp…. and the crowd goes wild!
Throws camps are a great way to keep training, but TCR® Throws Camps are the only way to truly improve and throw farther.
Why?
Because at a TCR® Throws Camp you’ll learn a proven Shot Put and Discus Throws system! Each event is broken down into the 6 Pillars of the Throw, which makes it much easier to understand, retain, and continue to build on.
If you’ve ever attended a throwing camp where you received several different throwing ideas & coaching cues…
then you know that trying to put all the different coaching styles together can, and usually does, lead to confusion- in some cases backwards results!
Hundreds of athletes & coaches who attended a TCR Throws Camp have ….
Learn how to throw wherever & whenever you want.
Attend the online throws camp from anywhere in the world!
The TCR Online Camp is a global throws camp & is available to you via
- your phone,
- laptop,
- desktop
- or share your screen on your TV….
… that’s right old timers, you can do that!
Unlike a traditional throws camp, now you can see the whole day’s throws lesson over and over. You can pause it, rewind and hear it all over again allowing you TO LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE!!!
If you can’t attend the live throws coaching sessions due to time zones or your schedule, FEAR NOT…
You can simply go to your TCR Throws Camp dashboard. This is where all your throws camp sessions will be held, along with all the camp bonuses, handouts and templates….
EVERYTHING you need at your fingertips.
Watch each LIVE coaching lesson out of the sun and free from summertime humidity…. yes, I’m talking to you, my friends in Houston 😉
… and for you in the mid-west, you’ll be learning how to properly drive through the ring safely indoors, and in your basements as a super cell thunder storm pops up faster than a freight train and then floods the field in seconds. A couple of years ago, at the summer camp in Chicago, I swore I saw an ark go by.
Don’t worry West Coast, I didn’t forget you… it’s just that weather is always on your side. lol
Training for shot put and the discus throws is data driven.
Each time you go out to train, you should be outcome based, and results motivated.
It’s pretty pointless to work this hard if you are not writing down your progress and analyzing the numbers. Elite level athletes are always asking one simple question- did anything I just do actually work?
… why not have that same question at a throws camp?
Throwing is not about going out to the ring, smashing the crap out of yourself and then magic happens.
Besides, fatigue is a slippery slope to technical breakdown, and you most definitely don’t want that!
At the TCR throws camp you will be provided with a comprehensive throws training plan
and a path showing you HOW to train in the most efficient and effective way possible.
MOST athletes who attend a TCR throws camp, PR at the camp
…. it’s a positive side effect. 😉
This is what separates a TCR online throws camp from the rest!
You will be tracking your progress through the camp….
… and don’t worry, we will provide you with the templates so all you need is a trusty pencil.
After each live throws coaching lesson, and if the weather is clear and optimal for throwing, you get out there and practice what you’ve learned!!!
Once you are all signed up, I’ll walk you through how to maximize every day’s throws lessons.
The 2020 track season may have sunk into a black hole…
… but the 2021 track season will be your year to crush it and start dropping bombs.
Each day you’ll be engaged through real-time throws coaching sessions from Coach Johnson with video based curriculum and “Throw Work” to do after each day of the camp.
The TCR Online Camp’s goal is to develop your throwing skills by providing you with a lot of training content, virtual coaching, and interactive throws analysis… it’s like having Coach Johnson in the palm of your hand… or on your knee if you’re reading this on your lap top.
Usually a throws camp is limited to 1 to 2 days, so a lot of throws training details can be omitted due to time constraints.
NOT THIS TIME!
The TCR Online Throws Camp will be starting JUNE 22, 2020 and ending on July 18, 2020
THIS CAMP IS A TOTAL THROWS CAMP EXPERIENCE…..
think of it as your own THROW-Stock…. your THROW-lapalooza…. or your THROW-chella
Did I cover all the age groups?
WEEK 1: BUILDING THE MACHINE
June 22- June 27 / 9am-10:30am (PST)
THE BLUEPRINT OF SUCCESS
Week 1 is your roadmap …. um, sorry I mean GSP to training & how to pull the MOST out of this throw camp. You will learn how to TRAIN LIKE A THROWER at all levels and how mind set plays a huge role in your throws training & in competition…. consider it your pillar 7!
Say What?
Get ahead of the learning curve by understanding the terminology of throwing- like stretch reflex or block arm… and if you really want to see FAST RESULTS, master the TCR terminology. You can’t build a throws program for training champions if no one knows what you’re saying.
The NUTS & BOLTS
This is a crucial week of the camp! If you skip over the fundamentals, you will be leaving a lot of big numbers behind, NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU’VE BEEN THROWING! Learn how to hold the discus, the key difference of how to hold the shot between rotational & glide shot. Throwing drills for beginners & tools for success.
These aren’t your usual skips and hops.
The last day of week 1 you will be learning how to warm up specific areas that are thrower-centric: hip actions, shoulder & ankle mobility and movement preparation. This is a day not to miss… it’s the secret formula of the TCR System and why ATN® athletes dominate each track season.
WEEK 2: The Discus Throw
June 29- July 3 / 9am-10:30am (PST)
THE START DETERMINES THE FINISH
Pillar 1… Setting up the chain reaction- Learn how it applies to the throw and how the start of the throw will determine how much power will be at the finish. In other word, if you miss setting up the throw correctly, then the throw is over before it begins.
The Good, The Bad & The Don’t Do That!
Knowing what throwing drills to use to address specific technical issues is key to producing BIG throws. Not all throwing drills are created equal… in fact. some drills out there are just plain wrong and will destroy your technique. Learn which drills are legit and which are not.
GET X-RAY VISION!
Having the ability to CORRECTLY identify technical errors in a throw is key to a successful throws training program. However, you can’t see what you don’t know. Learn proper discus throws technique and you’ll be seeing a throw like Neo from the Matrix movies.
PULL IT TOGETHER, MAN!
Ok, so now you got the 6 pillars of the throw, next learn how to put them all together for a monster throw. Pillar connection has its own set of separate TCR drills so you move throughout the throw without a hitch 😉
WEEK 3: Rotational Shot Put
July 6- July 11 / 9am-10:30am (PST)
THE START DETERMINES THE FINISH
Pillar 1… Setting up the chain reaction- Learn how it applies to the throw and how the start of the throw will determine how much power will be at the finish. In other word, if you miss setting up the throw correctly, then the throw is over before it begins.
Throws Drills THAT DON’T SUCK
At the end of every rainbow, is a pot of throws coaching gold…. Coach Johnson will show you exactly what drills to use to address specific technical issues is key to producing BIG throws. Learn which drills are legit and which are not.

APPLES AND ORANGES
Learn the key differences between rotational shot put and the discus throw. One of the most common mistakes I see athletes do in the shot put and the discus is rotating the same…. you can’t get Chinese food at a french restaurant, and you can’t get a drop a bomb throw in the shot rotating the same as the discus.
WEEK 4: Glide Shot Put & Camp Finale
July 13- July 18 / 9am-10:30am (PST)
IT’S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS
The glide shot is the go to throw to teach youth & new throwers to the shot, it actually is the most unforgiving when it comes to technique. To maximize this linear throw, learn the technique the RIGHT way!
TRANSITIONING FROM GLIDE TO ROTATIONAL SHOT
Probably the #1 question I get each year is when do you make the call to switch from glide shot to rotational shot and how do you do it? To make the switch requires patience and a SOLID understanding of rotational shot put technique…. good thing the TCR system has all that broken down for ya in easy to follow lessons 😉
DRILLS THAT DON’T SUCK
The glide shot is technically unforgiving! Learn the most effective TCR glide shot drills that produce the fastest and most powerful results. These glide shot drills are as straight forward as the throw itself.
The Good, The Bad & The Don’t Do That!
Knowing what throwing drills to use to address specific technical issues is key to producing BIG throws. Learn which drills are legit and which are not.

Is this Virtual Throws Camp good for athletes who have never thrown before?
ABSOLUTELY! Learning how to throw the right way the first time saves years of struggling and fast tracks results. Nothing is more frustrating for an athlete than to train hard for months (or even years) and make tiny little improvements or worse…. have their progress go backwards!
