The Bowmanthrows
Self-Coaching System
Membership
The Bowmanthrows Self-Coaching System is designed to guide, support, and challenge you throughout your journey to farther throws through:
-
Understanding what drives performance in the discus
-
Identifying what needs to improve
-
Organizing your training around those priorities
-
Knowing what to focus on next
Instead of trying to make sense of endless training information on your own, you have a system to help you make better decisions, apply what you learn, and keep moving forward.

The Questions You Need to Answer to Throw Farther
01
The Ultimate Guide to Discus [FREE]
What actually drives performance in the discus?
The Ultimate Guide to Discus gives you a clear framework for understanding what truly drives performance in the discus throw. By understanding the three drivers of performance and how they work together, you can make better decisions about what to train, where to focus your effort, and how to build long-term improvement.
02
What to Work on Next in Your Throw
What is actually holding my technique back, and how do I fix it?
What Should I Work On Next? helps you recognize 23 of the most common errors in discus throw technique so you can identify and fix what is actually limiting your throw. Rather than trying to fix everything at once, the guide helps you hone in on the cause of the problem, giving you a clear focus for what to work on next.
03
How to Throw Far When it Matters Most
How should I organize my training to throw farther when it matters most?
How to Throw Far When It Matters Most shows you how to organize your training over time so each phase builds toward your best performance. It helps you understand how throwing, strength training, technical development, and recovery work together to build your capacity and prepare you to throw far when it matters most.
04
Throwing Far as You Get Older
How can I reclaim my throwing ability and continue to throw farther as I get older?
Throwing Far as You Get Older is designed to help masters and senior throwers understand and overcome the physical and technical challenges that limit their performance. Learn how to reclaim the strength, mobility, and movement qualities that matter most.
Each of the four resources in the system helps you answer a different question you will face on your journey to farther throws.
