Welcome to the course where we learn how to practice efficiently and according to science!

Joonas Merelä shares a bit about himself before we delve into the subject of training.

Let's look at disc golf from the coaching perspective.

Let's start to look at the physical aspects of disc golf. Here we define what disc golf is when you look at what kind of physical aspects there are in disc golf.

What does force mean in the coaching context, and why is that important?

Comparing a speed-trained athlete to a strength-trained athlete and what kind of training would be beneficial to each profile.

In physical training, it's typical to divide training into these three categories: Speed, Endurance and Strength. Here we take a peek into how to train each one and which ones are more important to disc golfers.

Let's talk about what aspects of our physical performance affect our ability to throw the disc. We want to share some hard evidence on the way of practicing.

You hear the concept of kinetic chain tossed around. Well what is the kinetic chain?

So what is the elementary structure of a backhand throw?

Now we go through what the studies show on how the energy goes through the body and which parts of our body produce the larger portion of the total force needed to throw the disc.

Let's look at the relationship between speed and time, and why it is important to understand.

Let's look at the forehand and where the speed comes from. Really useful information when practicing your technique!

What is the reason to practice for more speed?

Let's put the things together and summarize this segment

This segment will be about the principals of training. There are certain things that need to happen in training for us to get better. Here we look at these cornerstones so you can understand what successful training foundation is laid upon.

Training needs to be regular.
