September 2017 in review: resources for throwers
HMMR Media returned to its roots over the past month and put together some great information on the throws. Over the past few years we have added more contents about athletic development and training for other sports. But we still want to be the go to place for quality information about training for the throwing events.
New landing page and content
To start with, we have better organized all of our existing interviews, articles, podcasts and more into one place. Our new landing page for throwers lets you find the best resources for the throws all in one place. Check it out here. Content is organized by throwing event and general topics, making it easy to find quick tips no matter what you are looking for.
We have also released a series of new in-depth resources for throwers. Find our latest content below and become a HMMR Plus member to get access to our complete archive of articles, podcasts, and HMMR Classroom video library.
In addition, we’ve had some great articles over the past month including a look at three things that make the hammer throw unique and an update on throwing trends and research with coach Don Babbitt.
