The Throws

Text Box: The Thrower’s Academy is a concept established by Wendolynn Allen, former U.T. Shot Put & Discus thrower. Since leaving the collegiate ranks of competition, Wendolynn has sought to “give back” by sharing her experiences and coaching young athletes. It is in the scope of coaching that a great need has been discovered. There is an enormous lack of instructional teaching concerning the Shot Put and Discus events of Track & Field competition. This finding is disheartening in light of the fact that there are just as many points to be won and lost in these events as there are in the 100m dash and the 4 x 100m relays. It is also unfortunate considering the fact that, in Ancient times, the Discus event was considered to be the ultimate of all sport, comprising within itself the perfect combination of gracefulness, speed, and strength. An effort should be made to return the value to these events and restore true athleticism.
