Spear Performance
Coach and Athlete : Jack Darcy
I have titanium in both of my legs and have still been able to compete in athletics! I suffered a serious motorbike accident in 2016 and have since returned to competition in 2019. Prior to the accident I had competed at the national level for athletics in Sprints and Jumps.
I started coaching to be as close to the sport as possible after my accident but fell in love with coaching and not only getting myself fast but making others run fast !
Coaching
My Coaching Philosophy revolves around 3 important statements:
1. Be the right coach at the right time for an Athlete.
2. Have a diverse range of tools to use, but always use the right tool for the right job when coaching and developing an athlete. Use everything at once and you will never know what works.
3. Get the MOST out of the LEAST. It's common practice to see athletes being given reps upon reps of sprints or lifts. Instead of throwing 100 darts at a dart board at once, I want to throw 10 accurately placed and considered darts.
Ultimately, with these three driving philosophies balancing technique development, exposure to training and building rapport with athletes will help Jack get them their best results.
