Testimonials
I went to Jon as a new thrower and the training there helped increased my throws by 5ft in one summer and got my lifts up an incredible amount. While also giving me an incredible community of thrower friends.

Working with Jon Kalnas completely transformed myself as a T&F athlete. Jon introduced me to the spin technique and slowly developed me from 30' as a freshman to nearly 60' as a junior.

Jon has been nothing but an inspiration and a second father to me. He has more experience in the game and out of it than any coach I have come in contact with.
