More About Coach Tom

I have extensive passion and experience in the area of Track and Field Throws. I have 14 years of high school coaching experience while also working with athletes trying to make the professional level. I have designed throwing programs along with strength and conditioning programs specific to the sport. Track and field throws have continued to grow into a bigger passion through my continued years of coaching.

I started learning throwing in middle school. I threw competitively from middle school through two years past college. I was part of a national championship track & field program at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse. I was part of the national championship team in 1991. I've been involved in coaching since I finished my collegiate career in 1991.

The athlete will learn the foundational understanding of how the fundamentals of the throws work before working on throwing for distance. You will be challenged by the process, which will lead to successful throwing.

Client Reviews

Coach Tom was extremely knowledgeable and great at explaining what to do, how to improve, and the why behind throwing. I learned more in 60 minutes with Coach Tom than I did in weeks of watching online videos and instructional material.

Coach Tom was super! After one session I feel like my son has a much better idea of technique with both discus and shot put. Can't wait for the next session.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect fit than Tom. He is extremely kind, assuring and caring that your kid have the right form and explains every step along the way. After suffering thru horrible coaches over the years, it was so refreshing to find someone who does it right. Thank you

Coach Tom is an excellent coach - He trys to understand an athletes issues and work on those. Very patient and a really nice person to work with. I would recommend Coach Tom highly for any throwers out there.

Coach Tom has been great to work with! He is helping my son transition from middle school sized shot and disc to high school weight. Looking forward to seeing the progress over the summer!

I've known Coach Tom for a long time-about five years. His coaching has helped me improve so much. I could not be the thrower I am without his coaching. He's alway enthusiastic. He's always reliable. He always has good things to say to me, so when my lesson is over I feel good about myself and the sport. He's a great coach who sacrifices his time for me, and I can always rely on him. Tom sees shot put and discus as an art and not just another sport. As a result, he makes throwing a passion. When I'm throwing, I may get frustrated, but Tom always has little expressions that make me laugh. I worked with several coaches before I met him. Tom is by far and easy the best coach!
