The off-season of Erik Cadée

Erik Cadée, a 25-year old discus thrower from Netherlands is full of confidence and is hoping to make a breakthrough in 2010.
Erik has been working pretty much on his technique. He has modified the beginning of the throw and it feels really good. Erik says that strength in the upper-body is almost at the same level as last year. Strength in legs is a bit less than previous year due to an "inflated appendix" surgery in the beginning of September. Erik has no injuries and feels good.

At the end of November Erik practised in Tallinn, Estonia.
Later in December he improved in denfi tool and his PB now stands on 64.55.

As you can remember he got a lot of attention last year in Estonia because of his new sensational discus technique which he calls "Run & turn". Look at it!

NB! Erik Cadée doesn´t use this technique at competitions. He just had some fun and invented this last year at his practise in South-Africa!




He recently had a 2-week trainingcamp in Stellenbosch, South-Africa where he essentially worked on his throwing technics and strength. Test results turned out to be a little bit disappointing. Under 20m toss in overhead shot was a bit scanty compared to his PB which stands on 22.97.

Here is a film about Erik´s off-season!

Next trainingcamp will be in San Diego (United States) during April and early May.

He will have his first competition at European Winter Throwing Cup in Arles, France where his main goal is to qualify for the European Championships which will be held in Barcelona, Spain.
