Tero Pitkamaki training with Jan Zelezny - part II

A personal note from Miklos Nemeth on Tero Pitkamaki's training session:
Tero seemed to be in a crisis last year... both technically and mentally, and he was lacking confidence. After the season ended he and his coach found a solution: Tero joined Jan Zelezny's team, and it was a very good decision.
Jan's job became tough as well, since he has to train a former world champion, so the expectations are high.
Diagnosis-
Tero is in a phenomenal physical shape right now and mentally he is very hungry for success especially because of the 2012 Olympics and since the European Championships will be held in Helsinki.
Tero's run-up and throwing motion has become tense - perhaps because of the pressure he is in or maybe because of the weight training he has done. In javelin throw it is difficult to keep the right proportions between result-oriented weight training and the very fine details of technical training.
To solve all that Jan thinks they have to do a step-by-step approach - changing Tero's training sessions by focusing on the run-up and the rhythm of his strides more to get into a better position before the throw. This also means building up the harmony of small technical things.
Such a huge change in training and technique will take time and Tero will also need to adopt. However, their practice sessions are going well and you can feel the harmony between them. If they keep this up big throws will come.
I keep my fingers crossed for them.

the best javelin throwers in the world training ,and they casually walk past like they see it every day

[@bartgoodell2017]

Most of the time people just don't know who or what's going on. They just see some guys throwing a spear. Frankly, if you didn't know who they were, would you be excited?

[@2010kamaleon]

Tero Pitkamaki should of stayed with is original coach.

[@AjayKumar-dv4pq]

In all these years Pitkamaki never improved his clumsy run up and take-back.

[@aashishgautam4554]

Ajay Kumar tu kaha ka player hai lodu

[@apss4105]

can you explaim?

[@AjayKumar-dv4pq]

@@apss4105 Hope you have good eyesight. If yes, look up Zelesny's elegant run up and Pitkamaki's. Zelesny has controlled acceleration, and an elegant draw-back. Tero's run up looks like he's hurrying to the toilet, and that ungainly sprawl at the end.
