HIGHLAND GAMES

The Highland Games are very much part of the throwing family, not a distant cousin, but more like immediate kinsfolk. In having lived and worked in Scotland for more than 15 years, competed in the Highland Games and coached athletes to compete in the Games I understand HOW to achieve maximum performance in these events. My experience also is that the specific strength gained from training for these events has a direct influence, particularly from a conditioning point of view for the main stream traditional throwing events.

I coach the technical aspects for ALL the Highland Games events

Shot Put – 16lb Shot, Heavy Shots and Stones
28lb Hammer & 56lb Hammer for Distance
Scots Shafted Hammer – 16lb and 22lb Weight
56lb for Height

There are many Highland Games events held in Florida and also in other states through out the year, so why not improve your throwing and enjoy a higher standard of participation contact me now and book your session.

Camps and Clinics for the Highland Games are also planned, so check this website regularly.
