TFA 507: Advanced Endorsement in the Hammer Throw

**IN PERSON COURSE**

TFA 507 provides a 15 hour, in-depth exploration of this highly technical event; emphasizing both athlete development and advanced coaching strategies. Designed for coaches with experience in the throwing events, this course addresses technical instruction, training design, athlete management, and the application of sport science specific to the hammer. Topics include biomechanics, skill acquisition, strength and power development, and long-term training planning.

As part of the Track and Field Academy’s highest-level Masters Mentorship series, TFA507 prepares coaches to guide athletes at all competitive levels.

Upon successful completion of the course, any existing certifications you may hold will be renewed by the number of years specified in Academy Policy. As the 500 level courses are part of the Masters Certification curriculum, they therefore do not grant stand alone certification.
