The Javelin Throw Coaching Manual is the newest book from Scott Cappos, long time Big Ten Coach at Iowa and Nebraska. Cappos has coached multiple Big Ten Champions, All-Americans, Big Ten Record Holders, and National Record Holders.
Sample: Approach
The approach is the number of steps or distance before the javelin is released.
The approach is designed to create horizontal velocity and momentum that will be converted into the implement at release. The goal is to release the javelin with high velocity at an optimal release angle. Maintaining good positions during high speed movements will be critical for optimal performance.
Novice throwers start with 5-8 strides, and more advanced throwers use 14 plus strides in the javelin approach.
The ideal approach distance will be determined by the athlete's ability to create maximal controlled speed that can be converted into maximal release velocity in optimal positions that result in the greatest throwing distance possible. Less experienced athletes generally have shorter approach runs because of the inability to maintain optimal throwing positions at higher rates of speed and inconsistent stride patterns during the approach.
The javelin thrower sets up the approach by positioning the lower body to accelerate down the runway at a set checkmark. The right arm is bent; the javelin is gripped and placed above the right shoulder at eye level or higher; the left arm is positioned at the side of the body.
The javelin approach is initiated with running mechanics similar to the acceleration phase used in sprinting, characterized by quicker, shorter strides pushing the body forward. The javelin thrower drives forward to overcome inertia at the beginning of the approach, slowly increasing stride length until the javelin is withdrawn. The javelin is stable with minimal movement during the beginning of the approach. The left arm counterbalances the cyclic motion of the lower body.
Throws Pro was developed by Scott Cappos. Cappos coached in the Big Ten Conference for 25 years before starting Throws Pro.
Our goal is be your one stop shop for throwing equipment that provides outstanding customer service. Whether you need advice on what equipment to purchase or need help to throw far, Throws Pro will be here for you.
I wanted a wider Shot put and USATF rules allow Masters (50yr+) up to 135mm...The 128mm I ordered is exactly what I wanted.
It works great!!Can use it to perfect form or throw in a gym!!
We will order from ThrowsPro again!
Expedited shipping in time for conference!
Awesome customer service!
Has a good amount of stability while still being somewhat flexible and easy to put on.
Scott has a robust line of equipment and it was shipped fast. Thanks!
We ordered three shots in our school color for competitions. We like the surface feel of the shots. They seem quality and are doing well so far with many throws. It helps to have different colors at indoor meets so that we don't lose them. We also ordered another color (pink) to have for a heavy practice shot. Kids love them!
Only downside is that the color that came is a little darker then what we thought based off of the screen image. We have a Cubs blue school color and it came in a little closer to a navy/darker blue but still a great shot put!
These throwing balls are great. We do not have a net or curtain to throw into at our school indoors and these are the perfect alternative.
The inserts fit great, and because there are seven pieces and they are so light weight they are easy to insert and take out for storage. The test of time will tell on how they will hold up to hammer hits.
Exactly what we expected
Great pricing, fast delivery. Great experience, will trade with them again. 👍🙏🏻
Great discus and great value!
Turn around time was very fast, the girls love the colors, and very good quality shot put.
It's a great shot. It has made my mechanics and distances a lot better. I will buy it again!
Excellent product.
