What's Included?
2 Throwing Sessions Per Day
During each throwing session we will receive direct instructional coaching on your technique. You will take 30-40 full throws, honing in on tangible improvements that you can make. No endless hours of bodyweight drills!
Weightlifting Technique
We will teach you the basics of the Weightlifts (the snatch, clean, and jerk) if you don't know them, or fine-tune your technique if you already incorporate them into your lifting!
Full Strength Building Workouts
Each day we will put you through one of our best strength building workouts. We will alternate between upper body and lower body lifts, making you feel the burn but still ready to attack the next throwing session.
Video Review of Your Technique
Dane will do in-person technical analyses of your throws. He will break down your technique and give you cues to work through during your next session!
Special Strength Exercises
We will show you our best special strength exercises that combine technique development with strength building that will directly corelate to further throws!
Mobility Exercises
What is the best way to recover from hard lifts and long throwing sessions? We will break down how we approach mobility and the huge impact it can have on your throws.
Instructional Lectures
We use the term "lecture" loosely. Dane does not make his presentations boring. However, you will learn exactly what it takes to become champion and achieve more than you dreamed possible as a thrower.

Add 5 Feet In Days
What can just a few days do for your throwing distance? Just ask the throwers who PR'd by 5 feet or more at the competition after our last camp!
Getting a different perspective on your technique with hands on coaching can make the difference between making the same mistakes for the next 6 months or fixing them now starting to PR again!
