Each session is completely individualized and specialized to the athlete. Emphasis is placed on educating the athlete on the proficiencies of their respective throwing event(s). Coaching is directed at developing highly individualized technique by molding an athlete's inherent tendencies. Technical work focuses on leveraging the athlete's strengths while addressing his/her weaknesses. If the session is for complete training, throwing is typically followed by specific strength movements, and ends with a lifting session tailored to the athlete's physical, mental, and technical needs in their event.

Client Reviews

Very thorough and personable!

After his first session with Coach Ja’Mar, I asked my son, “how did it go?” He said, “AMAZING!!! He worked on EVERYTHING!” He was so impressed, as was I due to my son’s reaction. My son obtained immediate results by being taught appropriate technique. He did tell him he has work to do. So needless to say, I will be booking more sessions.

Coach Ja'Mar has been an outstanding coach for my daughter! He has already improved her shotput and discus techniques in just two sessions. We now meet with him weekly in order to continue to make changes as her season progresses. Highly recommend!

Coach Ja'Mar was exceptional! In the first lesson he identified a number of things that improved my son's discus throw. We intend to book more sessions with him. Great coach!

Coach Ja'Mar is fantastic; he's encouraging and patient with my daughter. I've seen significant improvement during her sessions with the coach.

Coach Ja'Mar was exceptional. He provided a full evaluation of my son's ability and tailored his initial session to match his skills. He also got to know him motivations for the sport. The lesson was very well managed - got a lot more done then I imaged we would. Further, he provided some drills to perform at home prior to his next lesson. We will be back.

Very knowledgeable and helpful!

I have been trying to throw various weights for 20 years. Ja'Mar is (with great patience) finally showing me the correct form for each throw. He just takes it one step at a time. I "age up" in a couple of months and will be taking aim at some records, thanks to Ja'Mar!

Great coach, patient, and teaches the technical aspects of throwing. Highly recommend.

(no details provided)

After just 1 session, my son is raving about coach Ja'Mar. He is ready for his next session and looking forward to making a new PR at his next meet. Coach Ja'Mar was patient with my 16yo while teaching him the technical aspects of discus, I was excited to see my soon throw farther than ever before. The final seal of approval from my son was when he asked me to take a picture of him with coach Ja'Mar!! My son does NOT like to take pictures.

Coach Ja’Mar was fantastic. He evaluated the throwing technique used and worked on the individual parts to provide immediate improvement. He made my daughter feel very comfortable and motivated!

Coach Ja'Mar was personable and approachable. He patiently went through the step by step process on how to successfully throw the shot put. My son thoroughly enjoyed the session and we are signing up for more!

What a positive experience for my son. Coach Ja’Mar is a great role model, super knowledgeable and patient.

Coach Ja’Mar has been great with my son. He’s encouraging and patient. He knows his stuff. Pretty much everything you’d want in a Coach for your child.

Ja’Mar is an outstanding coach! In one session he was able to add 5 meters to my daughter’s discus throw distance. His extreme level of professionalism and ease in teaching is matched only by his unbelievably high level of experience.
What a great find!

Coached my son for a session before his championship. He PRed by 1.5 feet in shot and took first at regionals. He did qualify for state in disc also. Thank you!!!
Two years out of college I began my masters degree and started training again with Ja’Mar as my coach. I specialized in the hammer throw. In 3 years of undergraduate competition, I improved less than 4 meters. In 9 months he got me to improve 6 meters ON TOP of my best undergraduate PR (+13 meters from where I started having not trained in 2 years) and helped me qualify for my first nationals in the hammer throw. He is an incredible coach who is so knowledgeable, supportive, and knows when to push you.
