I’ve been throwing javelin since my ( 12 yrs old )6th grade year competitively. I first picked a javelin up when I was maybe 4 or 5. I’ve had a love for the sport ever since I started. Personal best of 167’3 (50.97 meters ) hoping for more to come.
@@brandonr15010 TY, that's what I thought. I use the same but I think my hand isn't fully underneath and too much of my power goes into spinning the jav instead of throwing it.
Technique is pretty solid. A little more flexibility in the chest, lat will help the arm stay back a little longer, thus making a longer pull. Stay patient with the upper body, chest gets a little too far ahead. A tilt at the waist where your left hip leads towards the landing area and shoulders behind the center line of your body at a 25 to 30 degree angle should help keep you from leading with your chest. Solid work tho. Good luck
@Brandonthrowsjav Best mental thinking for me was imagine a rope around the waist, and then someone yanks hard. Hips go first then upper body. That's what helped me out the most.
What a journey!! I'm curious about your practice schedule in the off-season, and roughly how much you practiced. I'm also wondering what age the national lead throw was. Thanks!...Not surprised you made varsity😂
I practiced about 2-3 days a week ( usually alternating between shot disc and jav ) for about an hour a day. The national lead i was 14 in 8th grade. The 2023 season just began and I’m gonna try and get another post up soon
