Coach Testimonial

The Texas Throwers Camp is first and foremost an Elite Throwers Camp.
TTC is an outstanding camp for throwers of all skill levels. Whether an athlete is just beginning or has years of experience, the camp provides valuable instruction focused on the fundamentals of the shot put and discus. Beyond technique, athletes learn important mental approaches that help them compete with confidence and consistency.

One of the most rewarding aspects of TTC is the opportunity to build lasting relationships with fellow throwers from across the state while growing in their faith and strengthening their relationship with the Lord. The positive environment creates a strong sense of community and support.

What truly sets TTC apart is the commitment of its coaches. The coaching doesn't stop when camp ends—athletes have access to a supportive network of knowledgeable coaches who are willing to continue providing guidance and encouragement throughout their throwing journey. TTC is much more than a camp; it's a place where athletes develop as throwers, competitors, and individuals.
