Podcasts by UVA Throws
College and professional throwers and coaches discuss (no pun intended) biggest joys, issues, excitements, struggles, benefits and adventures of being a thrower. We bring the highest level insight into our conversations and always leave you with a better understanding and knowledge needed to be a successful high school, college and professional thrower and a coach; or help you avoid it altogether, it's not for everyone.
Whether you're a thrower yourself, a coach, a parent of a thrower, a friend ( or an aunt or a grandfather) you are sure to find something valuable in every single episode. Join the most recognizable college throws-team and their exceptional guests on this Throwing Adventure that will take your throwing and coaching to the next level. This is your show!
