The Science and Practice of the Javelin Throw Kindle Edition

I met Terseus Liebenberg first during my visit at the Javelin Carnival in Pihtipudas many years ago and from the very first moment, he was different to all the coaches I had met! During my visits to Potchefstroom I have known him as a gentlemen and an intelligent javelin coach sharing similar ideas to mine especially about the technique of javelin throwing. He has coached a strong stable of word class athletes throughout his career. Besides the success of his former and current world class athletes Marius Corbett and Sunette Viljoen he has also coached athletes like Hardus Pienaar and Justine Robbeson. Which shows his coaching excellence.I was very fortunate to visit the excellent training facility on a number of occasions for training camps, not only because of the great facilities and environment, but also to learn from Terseus and all the top throwers from around the world who had met there for the last number of decades. Terseus Liebenberg delivers in his book all you need to know about javelin throwing, at all levels. Whether you are a beginner or a world class athlete, coaching kids, youth or top athletes, Terseus gives answers to almost every question you could have about training and the technique for javelin throwing. He includes history, and profiles the great throwers from the past as well as many different technique details, training methods and examples; all except the feeling you get directly after release when you know you have hit a great one. But believe me, this book will bring you closer to that experience!For athletes and coaches who are looking for new ideas, answers and are confused about dividing the relevant training principles of the javelin throw from the irrelevant should have a look at Terseus Liebenberg’s work.
