Since 2004, I’ve trained many teams and individual players – both professionals and amateurs – and helped them throw longer throw-ins.
The majority of the players I work with can throw between 4 and 10 meters further after their training than they could when they started.
Do you want to be the next?
The amount of training I provide varies a great deal. Some clubs are interested in a 5 training session programme that includes both improvements to the length of players’ throw-ins and work on the tactical aspects of offensive and defensive throw-ins.
Others opt for 2-3 sessions where my primary focus is on improving the length of the players’ throw-ins.
A typical 2 x 45 minutes training session looks like this:
Training session 1
warm up
5 – 15 players participate in throw-in test 1
30 minutes technical throw-in training
throw-in test 2
I perform video analysis of the training for analysis in between training sessions.
Together, the coach and I select players for the next training session.
Training session 2
run through of the potential for improvement in selected players’ technique
technical throw-in training
throw-in test 3
Run-down of results in cooperation with the trainer following the final training session
Throw-in training can take place at the beginning or end of normal football training or when it best fits into your training schedule.
I have provided individual training to a number of footballers, right from under 9’s to Superliga players.
Individual training provides me with the optimal conditions to focus on your throw-in technique.
A typical individual training session:
warm up
throw-in test 1
technical throw-in training
throw-in test 2
A training session lasts for approximately 45 minutes, and a normal training programme takes 2-3 training sessions.
I perform video analysis of the training.
The following are two examples of the improvements two players have experienced following individual training:
Leon Jessen, FC Midtjylland 2010 (now Kaiserslautern), improved his throw-in from 21.60 metres to 30.50 metres following two training sessions.
In 2010, an under 17’s player from a Copenhagen club improved his throw-in from 21.20 metres to 30.30 metres following a single training session.
If you don’t have a long throw-in then don’t despair. I have helped many players to go from having short throw-in to being throw-in experts.
Take your mobile phone to the football pitch – or your back garden – record your throw-in and send it to me at
Then I can tell you whether you have the talent to be a throw-in expert.
If you’re already a throw-in expert then why not make yourself even better?
