30 Speed & Power Drills for the Throws

with Brett Halter,
University of Missouri Associate Head Track Coach/Throws

Brett Halter has established himself as one of the most successful and respected throws coaches in the country. To develop top level throwers, Coach Halter focuses on developing the individual athlete, training the thrower as a technician and strength development in the weight room in four phases. In the first phase of this DVD, Halter demonstrates pre-season conditioning drills. More than 20 drills and variations that develop strength and distance, while improving technique are included in the pre-season phase. Sprint work is also a big part of Halter's philosophy in the pre-season. Resistance sprinting, speed ladder drills and combination drills (where hops and throws are combined into one exercise) are also introduced. Mid-season drills are box jumps resisted and assisted sprinting and hurdle jumps. In the championship phase of the season, intensity is high while volume is low. Halter shows 10 unique drills using hurdles, medicine balls, hops and throws. The final phase of Halter's speed and power program is strength training. Resistance jumping, box jumps and ball drops provide drills for the weight room. Halter presents a total season workout plan for athletes to enhance their strength and ability and maximize their throwing potential.
