Javelin Drills

Rhythm run

The rhythm for the thrower is important as it sets in motion everything for a successful throw.

What you need – For this drill, you can actually use nothing, but you can build up to using a javelin just for practice sake.

How this drill works – Finding the proper rhythm when the athlete is running in their approach is fundamental for the overall success of the throw.  Athletes should practice using different methods for their rhythm, in order to make sure they are maximizing all of the energy and momentum possible.

Finding a correct rhythm is very important because the thrower need to find a groove that helps them execute all of the different aspects of the throw.  Without it the athlete can struggle with different areas of the fundamental javelin throw.

Result – Good rhythm is going to help your throwers immensely, as it eliminates execution errors when they are comfortable with the rhythm.
