The following materials were provided by Tom Petranoff, OLY, a two-time world record holder in the Javelin and the inventor of the Turbo Javelin. He is a life-long advocate of the sport and generously shares this material to further the mission. The material covers the basics of the Javelin, Turbo Javelin, strength development with body weight and med ball exercises, and Javelin games that go beyond "how far." For the advanced throwers, he covers additional drills, resistance training, and periodization for throwers. He also advocates weak side throwing to help the body find the throwing rhythm.
