Practice/Class:
Under Coach Mike Pellet, athletes will become students of the sport. Being a student of the sport will be enable the athlete to understand the key concepts of the throw, and understand what it takes in order to improve. Each practice will be similar to that of a physical education class, in which, practice will have a weekly and daily focus. There will be assessments (video and verbal) and the ability to interact with questions and reflections through “The Throwing Blog” website. By understanding and using the techniques and resources provided above in the syllabus, the athlete will succeed.
Practices are mandatory as these are class periods in which learning and skill refinement take place. Also meets are counted as quizzes with the conference championship at the end of each season will count as a final. It is important not to miss any of these, as meets are a form of assessment and will help the athlete throughout the season to improve.
