Progressions for Coaching the Shot Put and Discus Throw

by Brett Halter, University of Missouri  The University of Missouri's Brett Halter joined the Tiger staff to coach the shot put and discus throw 12 years ago. Since that time Coach Halter has been a student of the sport learning from some of the brightest most successful coaches in track and field, and has evolved into one of the most successful and respected throws coaches in the country himself. Halter was named USA Track and Field Development Coordinator for the junior men's shot put in 2003. Halter's throwers have earned 20 All American awards, won 10 conference championships, earned U.S. Olympics Trials qualifying spots four times and been members of four U.S. National teams. Included in this group of outstanding throwers is seven-time All American and IAAF World Indoor Champion Christian Cantwell. Christian also recorded the longest throws in the world in 2004 both indoors and outdoors.  Halter utilizes a conglomeration of theories to coach these events but the foundation of his methods is a thorough knowledge of the technical demands and training theory associated with each event. Progressions for Coaching the Shot Put and Discus Throw provides useful guidelines for developing athletes in each of these events, and coaches at all levels (men's and women's) will find it to be an excellent resource for teaching these beautifully simplistic yet wonderfully intricate events.  2006.
