jav in the off season

[multi]

i know most of you are shot/disc guys, and i am a girl who throws jav, but ..

are there any jav throwers or coaches out there who can help me out? i'm looking for ways to work out before outdoor to get ready for jav this year. lifting, plyos, drills, whatever's gonna help since i'm gonna be a senior. also, i have a history of a shoulder injury.

pm me if you need pr's, height/weight, etc. thanks

my dad is the jav coach for the local AAU/USATF team.

I hear throwing softballs or weighted balls are a good way to keep it easy on the shoulder.

yeah i have a turbo, but there's only so much you can do with it, and it's a little awkward since it's short

Yea I don't like throwing them, the long tom is a little better its just thick, and hard to throw compared to the real Jav.

By far, the best javelin source on the internet is The Thrower's Page:

http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/8682/jav.htm

Great information, and the Javelin Discussion Forum is regularly visited by the top all-time throwers and coaches in the U.S., including Tom Pukstys, Tom Petranoff, Kim Kreiner, Breaux Greer, Jeff Gorski, etc. Before asking for training advice, check out the information that is already available. Jeff Gorski is the USATF head of men's javelin development, and will be more than happy to give you plenty of pointers.

If you want great training videos, also check out:

www.coachmcdonagh.com

Andrew McDonagh is the Volunteer Throws Coach at the University of Arkansas. He posts plenty of great training videos segments, and will add training info throughout the off-season. He's coached Eric Brown for the past four years...Eric was runner-up in the NCAA Championships this past year and has a PR of 78.14m.

Good Luck

I was looking for some workouts for my daughter and found the following links:

http://www.exrx.net/Lists/PowerExercises.html

http://home.sprintmail.com/~jesusvirella/_uimages/AtwoodJavelinStretches1.jpg

The first has a very complete list of plyo and olympic weight workouts...video isn't the greatest, but it will definitely give you something to look at.

The second also has some pretty crude detail, but since you've had some shoulder problems, flexibility work should definitely help.

Didn't copy the link, but you MUST read Jeff Gorski's 1982 article on the "Soft-Step Approach to Throwing the Javelin" (just shout if you can't find it and I'll send the link). Young throwers have benefitted more from that one article than anything, and many have saved themselves from nasty elbow injuries (Tommy John surgery).

Good luck, work hard, throw far.

thank youuu sir. i will show these things to my coach and we're going to work on a training plan leading up to the spring. hopefully i'll stay healthy this time!

I'm also a senior girl jav thrower(pr 122)... on the off season I mainly throw the med ball (especially good if you have had an injury), work on footwork & speed, and core strength & flexibility. good luck and throw far!
