  1. Javelin By Zach Kindler Baker University

  2. What we well cover • Beginning Drills • Cross over drills • Carry drills • Transitional drills • Finishing drills

  3. Plan for Success • Make a plan • Write it out, make sure everything has a purpose • Sell the plan • Make sure you and your athletes are on the same page • Stick to the plan • Can deviate but make sure it follows the overall plan • Review the plan

  4. Beginning Drills • Wrist Flips – finish thumb down • Hand Only • 90 degree flip • Long arm flip

  5. Beginning Drills • Power fronts with med ball • 1k ball

  6. Partner Drills • Partner shoulder rotations • Partner Pull through

  7. Cross over • Key to all these drills is the javelin is parallel to shoulders and hips • Tip eye level and flat javelin • Palm turned over and up

  8. Cross over Drills • Walking 5 step with finish • 3 step lay back • Watch for the right crossing the left on after penultimate • 5 step lay back • 20 meter cross over • Stay tall, knee drive • 20 meter cross over with bungee

  9. Carry • Carry should be a comfortable position • I teach newcomers over head tip down • As they become for advanced, this can change • Same body mechanics as a sprinter • Stay tall and allow for force production underneath the body • Push theory – same for cross over

  10. Transition • Smooth and comfortable with out much additional movement • Beginners we teach 5 and 5 • Start with left, finish with left • More advanced you can add more steps in the carry • Stick with 5 steps for the cross over • I suggest not to count, place your start and check point and then practice that mark. Counting is just another thing in their head.

  11. Finishing the Throw • Allowing efficiency of velocity of the approach and converting it into release velocity. • Starting from ground up • Hit the hips, ride the whip, and hang on until arm strike

  12. Finishing Drills • Plant skips • Sand Pit plants • Bungee drills • One step • 3 step • 5 step

  13. High School Plan • Early Weeks of Season • Med Ball High Volume • Partner Drills – working alignment and positions • Finishing Drills • Not much throwing • Cross Over Drills • 3 step, 5 step, short approach work • Minimal full throws

  14. High School Plan • Mid Season • Count full throws throughout the week • Every athlete is different on amount they can handle but not more then twice a week and that is counting a meet. • A fresh arm will always throw farther then a dead arm. Especially last spring during the end of the season. • Practice in all conditions and develop a routine

  15. Biggest piece of advice • Develop a plan and stick to it. • There will be bumps but roll with them
