LEARN THE WHOLE THROW
Understand how the movements connect. Targeted drills support your ability to perform the complete throw.
OUR APPROACH
EVERY THROW HAS A PURPOSE.
We develop the whole thrower: technique, physical capability, competition confidence and the independence to bring it together when it matters.
WHERE COACHING HAPPENS
WHAT YOU FEEL + WHAT WE SEE = A THROW YOU UNDERSTAND.
We start with a question: “What did you feel?” Then we connect your experience with what we observe, explain the why, and give you a clear focus—helping you turn understanding into more effective throws.
UNDERSTAND THE WHY
Know what you are working on, why it matters and how to recognize it in your own throwing.
OWN YOUR PERFORMANCE
Build the awareness to prepare, make decisions and compete with growing independence.
BUILT FOR COMPETITION
DEVELOP THE ATHLETE. BRING IT TO THE THROW.
Technique, physical preparation, competition skills and recovery work together. The emphasis changes with the season. The purpose stays the same: helping you throw farther in competition.
TECHNIQUE
Connect your movements into an effective whole throw.
PHYSICAL PREPARATION
Develop strength, speed and power that support your event.
COMPETITION SKILLS
Practice preparation, attention and decision-making.
RECOVERY
Use rest as part of the plan. Communicate how you feel.
The plan serves the athlete. The work serves the throw.

Three perspectives on your performance. One view of your development.
LTICONNECTING TECHNIQUE, PHYSICAL ABILITY, AND PERFORMANCE.
Together, these measures help coaches and throwers understand progress and identify areas for development.
TPI
TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE INDEX
How you execute the throw.
Evaluates movement, positions, and rhythm across assessed throws.
PPI
PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE INDEX
The physical abilities you bring.
Evaluates strength, explosive performance, and speed through standardized tests.
CPI
COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE INDEX
What you produce when you throw.
Evaluates legal distance against event benchmarks, with fouls accounted for. Testing and meet results remain distinct.
LTI scores inform event-specific badge certification through reviewed assessments and lead coach confirmation.
YOUR PROGRESS, EARNED
A CLEAR PATH. AN INDIVIDUAL JOURNEY.
Your LTA Thrower Index (LTI) brings together technical, physical, and competitive performance. LTI scores inform event-specific badge certification through reviewed assessments and lead coach confirmation.
FOUNDATION
Build safe habits and the foundations of the whole throw.
DEVELOPMENT
Connect technique, physical preparation and competition skills.
PERFORMANCE
Build consistency and take greater ownership of your throwing.
ELITE
Refine execution and compete with independence when it matters.
Certification is earned by event through two consecutive qualifying, completed and reviewed assessments, with lead coach confirmation. Earned badges stay with you.
New throwers begin with an initial assessment. Shot put follows one technique pathway: glide or rotational.
