The Digiorgio Brothers have accomplished some amazing feats that most people will never come close to accomplishing, don’t let that make you lose hope, but instead let it motivate you to become the best you can be. I first took interest in track and field as a freshman, I threw 41-4 without ever really taking it seriously. Due to an ACL injury from football I missed my sophomore year. I came back my junior year and struggled during the indoor season, my last meet at state sectionals I threw 47-8. That Outdoor season I threw 50-6 and now I was starting to take it serious…I wanted to seek a scholarship, if I could. Come my senior year I was looking up information on shot/discus trainers and Kevin DiGiorgio’s name and business popped up in the search. We set up a few sessions, one on one, that improved me drastically. His eyes pick up any flaws in your technique and he can fix it right away by showing you drills to break your old habits.That indoor season I threw 54-8 but in practice I threw 56s with Kevin during training.When outdoor season came I was consistently throwing in the 55’s all from Kevin’s great fine tuning coaching skills, but I could only work with him from time to time, so I couldn’t master my form. I did throw a few 57’s in practice with Kevin, but if I could have been closer to Kevin I think I could have broken the 60ft barrier. In the end taking lessons with Kevin IS WORTH IT BIG TIME! He won’t let you down and will stay with you until you understand the concepts he is teaching. I would recommend any shot/disc thrower to seek Kevin and learn and improve from his knowledge and top notch personal experience !!

I had Kevin down at Glassboro High School this past year (2008) 2 weeks prior to our season beginning. My goal was for the athletes and coaches to get drills, workout ideas, mental tips and have Kevin work with the athletes' technique. Everything was accomplished during his clinic. Fact is Glassboro High School had one of the greatest years in its 100 year history breaking multiple throwing records (over 20 school and relay records during the course of the year). Kevin’s clinic was everything I expected and is for all athletes, beginner and elite. All athletes had personal records by the end of the season. Shamire Rothmiller leading the way with 44' shot, 126' discus and 136' javelin. Shamire was a 4x state champ in the shot, state champ (06) in disc and 3rdin the state javelin and a proud member of Kevin’s Bomb Squad.
Thanks Kevin,

Coach Digiorgio has been my Strength, Shotput, and Discus coach
for two years now. My freshman year my best throw was 37'6, by the end of my Junior year he had me throwing 50'2
in the shot which is a unheard of a 13 foot spike in two years!! I was the first athlete he trained to throw over 50 feet
and definitely could not have prospered the way I did without him.
As the Shotput record holder of New Jersey at 69'8 he has many National and State championships he knows everything you need to know from a beginner to an elite thrower. He is especially helpful because he is known throughout the state and nation as one of the greatest shotputters, and is especially helpful for college bound athletes for recruitment. He has many different workouts that consist of throwing, lifting, and speed training that will add numbers to your stats that you thought were nearly impossible!! He has great determination with his athletes, he can work anywhere from one-on-one or in a group. Coach lives an hour away from my school and still was able to make practice everyday and would stay until you got your workout done until the both of us were satisfied. If you want to be the best you can be and get the best shotput and discus training in this state I strongly recommend Coach Kevin Digiorgio - Tom Frawley, 17, Verona
Jason Maier, 22 yrs old, Collegiate Athlete, Former High school Standout What ever your goal is, a National championship, State championship, League championship, get stronger, faster, bigger, you name it, Kevin is THE person to go to!! As a trainer Kevin has helped me amass an impressive resume in high school. Under Kevin’s guidance I was voted First Team All-Bergen County two times in the shot put, voted First Team All-Bergen County two times in the discus, voted First Team All North Jersey in the discus, won the Group 1 State Indoor Shot Put Relay Championships, won the Group 1 State Championships in the discus, I made the State Meet of Champions 5 times in the shot put and 2 times in the discus, ultimately medaling at the State Meet of champions placing 5th in the discus. Without Kevin in my corner I am sure I would have never achieved any of that success! Since then, Kevin and I have become Training partners. Kevin’s arsenal is truly amazing. Whether it’s running hills, doing some farmer walks, or repping in the circle, Kevin truly understands what it takes to become a championship thrower and to achieve your athletic potential. Not only does he understand the needs of his athletes, but he has the tools, and equipment to full-fill those needs. With Great throwing facilities and training tools like strong man equipment, shots and discuses galore; 4k, 12lb, 16lb, 20 lb, 1k discs, 1.6k, 2k, throwing weights, etc..you would be hard pressed to find ANYONE else who can offer you such a diversified training program and tools/implements. As an Athlete, a Training Partner, and a Friend, I know that Kevin is your best choice if you want to push yourself to the limit!!!!
Martin Brown; Sophomore at The College of New Jersey
I first met Coach Digiorgio during my senior year at Verona High School when I started throwing the shot. I decided to
continue throwing at the College of New Jersey where I am currently a sophomore. After a sub par first year of throwing, I
called Coach Digiorgio to maximize my off season improvements. Training with him during the summer has helped me to fix some
problems with my spin, become more explosive, and increase speed within the circle. What I really enjoy about training with
Coach Digiorgio is the way he customizes each workout to the individual athlete.
Joey Morrison, 17, senior at Morristown High (January 2008)
I first started working with Coach DiGiorgio during the summer going into my senior year. This was the best thing for me, but I wish I had started training with him sooner. The first time coming to him, I was throwing 43’ in the shot, 90’ in the discus, and was very inconsistent. During the first couple of sessions, he broke down my technique and we worked mainly on the basics. After a few sessions with him I was throwing 45’ to 46’ in the shot and 105’ to 110’ in the discus, and I was more consistent. I continued to train with Coach DiGiorgio through the fall and winter. Now as the winter track season gets underway I am throwing 48’ to 49’ and I have a personal record of 50’ 1/4” in the shot put, still improving each day. Training with Coach DiGiorgio gets very intense. He has many different workouts that consist of throwing, lifting, speed training and hill runs. He has even made me a workout for lifting for pre-season and during season. Coach DiGiorgio is willing to work with you, as long as you work at it and practice at home when you are not with him. Looking back at the intense workouts and long days of training, it truly helps as long as you work hard. I appreciate all of the hard work that he has put into helping me.
