Why MADISON THROWS CLUB?
  • "Joe can train ANYONE, from the novice thrower to the advanced athlete. Coach Joe taught me from day one, when he convinced me to pick up my first shot put and discus my junior year of high school. His knowledge, dedication, and training led me to the state meet two years in a row - and to a state championship shot put throw!"
  • "Coach Frontier has a keen sense of how far to push people. He creates an atmosphere filled with motivation to improve, yet maintains a level of comfort in which we're able to make mistakes. He brings together a productive blend of skills, discipline, and self-motivation to bring out the best in each athlete he coaches."
ADVICE FOR THROWERS:
" Don't be afraid to make mistakes."
"Working on your weaknesses provides an opportunity to learn about yourself."
