Still grateful for the referral that we received that led us to Coach Fran. Her excellent coaching helped our daughter who was a brand new thrower go all the way to Nationals twice.

Coach Fran is an amazing coach! She is very knowledgeable and professional . But, the best thing about her coaching is her great attitude and love for everyone. She is patient and knows how to work with beginners or seasoned athletes. No matter how advanced an athlete may be in their career, she knows how to take them to the next level!!!!

Coach Fran Hoogestraat is one of the best throws coaches in the state of Tennessee. I have had the pleasure of working and coaching with her.

Coach Fran is one of the best throws coaches in the area! She truly knows the ins and outs of the technique in the throws and is continually adding to her knowledge. Not only that, but she gives cues that are specific to each thrower’s body type and strengths. She also helps athletes with the mental cues needed to compete in high pressure situations. In high school, she helped coach me to win 2 state championships in Tennessee, and get recruited to throw at the division 1 level.
