Steadily build your base, increasing your ejections, until you can toss at least one coach per game. With a solid base you can begin more rigorous and varied coach tossing training. At this point you'll also want to identify your "one game max," as a benchmark. It's also important to include some speed work. Interval training works well (e.g., one quarter warm up, followed by intervals of tossing two coaches per quarter, interleaved with rest quarters). And once a week, include an endurance workout, start with a set of three games, tossing a coach every game. Work you way up to a six game set tossing a coach per quarter. For added variety, work some fartlek sessions into your schedule, perhaps a set of AAU games where during a normal game you occasionally accelerate, pushing your pace and tossing an entire coaching staff at once.
With patience and proper training, your coach tossing pace will improve, and your "one game max" will shoot through the roof.
