Renowned coach Ismael Lopez Mastrapa, celebrated for guiding Keshorn Walcott to Olympic and World Championship javelin glory, is now sharing his expertise with coaches and physical education teachers in Trinidad and Tobago. The Throws Coaching Workshop, organized by the Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago’s (SporTT) elite athlete wellbeing unit, aims to enhance local coaching capabilities in track and field throwing events. The three-part workshop, which commenced on September 28, focuses on the four primary throwing disciplines: discus, javelin, shot put, and hammer. Over 30 participants are gaining both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to nurture the next generation of athletes, particularly those aged 12-14. The first session delved into the fundamentals of coaching throws, from technique to training design. On October 4, the workshop transitioned to the Hasely Crawford Stadium training field for its inaugural practical session, where attendees applied their classroom learnings. Mastrapa, SporTT’s lead athlete coach development officer, emphasized the importance of equipping coaches with the tools to inspire young talent. His coaching legacy includes Walcott’s historic gold at the 2012 London Olympics, bronze at the 2016 Rio Games, and a gold medal at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. The final session is scheduled for October 11, marking the culmination of this transformative initiative.
