    You have decent speed but your marks indicate some serious technical deficiencies, especially in the throws. As such I'd concentrate most of your technical work on the development of the throws. I would still however keep your physiological training focused on power and speed.

    Your plan looks ok but here are a couple thoughts:
    *Don't do maxV over summer unless your competing.
    *Why only 1 or 2 lifts per lifting session? You'd be better off to do 2-4 exercises.
    *For your continuous tempo I'd suggest doing fartlek running.
    *At this point of the year, it's fine to not do any specific technical work but I'd suggest integrating some general technical development work into every facet of your workout. For example, make your plyo and jump work technical in nature. That is, be sure to emphasize good mechanics even on simple exercises. Focus on landing with a flat foot or on the heel, pushing through the hip rather than the toe, and creating strong vertical pushes.

    Also, please don't get worried if someone doesn't answer your post IMMEDIATELY. I know you want answers but sometimes it takes a day or two for a thread to really take off.
