In Throws, Randy Heisler demonstrates how athletes can get the greatest distance on each attempt. He provides training exercises and practice sessions to improve strength and power, technique, and performance for the four throwing events-shot, discus, javelin, and hammer. Heisler's drills will help athletes develop:

• sound technique with speed for the shot put;
• effective footwork, spin mechanics, and other essential skills for the discus;
• proper grip, body alignment, runway strides, and launch for the javelin; and
• controlled rhythmic movements that synchronize turns of the body with swings of the hammer's head for the hammer throw.

These information-rich videos are essential for track and field coaches who need to be well-versed in all events. Their detailed demonstration of correct technique in each event also makes them excellent educational tools for athletes.

Since 1988, Heisler has coached more than 30 All-American performances in the throws and 22 Big Ten Conference Throws champions.
