We can't wait for the next training session! He's very motivated!"

Here’s Your Roadmap: TCR METHOD Will Show You The 3 Phases and 9 Steps To End Frustration And Transform your Throwing!

TECHNICAL MASTERY

The throw takes less than 2 seconds. Mastering the 6 Pillars is key to developing effective throws, from setup to release, with each pillar targeting critical technical positions. By learning the LOPW (Location, Objective, Positions, Window of execution) for each pillar and using our PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drills) to Master these positions, you eliminate wasted focus and align training with bigger competition results and faster improvement!

SEQUENTIAL SUCCESS

The Throwing Chain Reaction (TCR) is all about mastering the right sequencing to set up maximum power and consistency in your throws. By breaking the sequence that set up the best physics, you’ll optimize performance, fix errors fast, and discover how this key to setting up optimal throwing mechanics.

ATHLETIC ABILITY GAPS

Struggling technically and hit a plateau? The Kinetic Chain Reaction (KCR) focuses on maximizing energy transfer from the ground up for explosive throws aka your physical potential. By identifying weak links in your kinetic chain from posture to strength you can identifyand remove roadblocks that get in your way of technical development and throwing improvement. 

DISTANCE KILLERS

Perhaps one of the most frustrating things throwers experience are self imposed limitations due to applying the wrong technical concepts. Included with your training program, you'll receive the Clarity Filter tool- that shows you how to identify and eliminate "Distance Killers"—flawed techniques that often seem right but work against you... every throw.. By identifying commonly taught incorrect throwing concepts, we can course correct training fast and begin technical rehab and get you on the right track to rapid success.  

FLIGHT SCHOOL/ STRIKE SCHOOL

Flight & Strike School aka Pillar Zero—mastering grip and release of the shot put and discus and the mechanics of slinging the discus and striking the shot.  This is the foundation of every throw and is often the root cause of technical problems. If you don't understand this, you will likely waste hours  focusing on the technical problems caused by a poor Pillar Zero. aka the start of the Throwing Chain Reaction®. Learn how to integrate Pillar Zero into your daily routine and watch long time problems start to improve immediately. 

THE ARSENAL: LEGAL P.E.D.s

Here's the heart of the TCR METHOD Program- PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drills)  with over 350 drills its truly your technical problem solving Arsenal! It's is all about having the right tools to attack weaknesses and sharpen strengths. Use Type I and Type II drills that fit your current throwing level, and create progressions to target specific areas. Rotate drills regularly to keep training fresh and prevent plateaus—this is how you stay ahead and keep improving.

THE PERFECT TRAINING³ FORMULA

Perfect Training³ Formula i simple 3 step structure for maximizing every practice so you produce bigger results faster. The 1st step creates the structure for each practice and focus. The second step show you how to optimize every throw and drills, and the third step ( which we call the Acceleration formula) shows you how to Accelerate your  results up to 10x faster. (We're serious!)  Stop  going through the motions—hoping its gonna click one day. Instead, apply a proven formula for daily practice success.

COMPETITION MASTERY

Competition Mastery is all about dominating when it matters most. You need a rock-solid pre-comp routine, and your mindset has to be as sharp as your technique—you will learn how to avoid collapsing under pressure. We’ll simulate competition scenarios in practice so you’re always ready. Whether it’s early-season or peak-season, we’ll dial in the right strategy and use every comp to sharpen your edge, refine your training, and keep those PRs coming. Ready to crush it when it counts? Let’s go!
