As a former thrower and first year coach, this information is fantastic. I really wish my school would spring for your program, but we're really really small (less than 30 kinds in the high school) and it's not in the budget.
Hey coach, I don’t know if you remember me, but I previously said my goal was 160 at the start of my sophomore season. Using the tips you’ve given, I have beaten my school record that held for 47 years. I threw 158’2. Still hoping to break that 160 barrier! Thanks for all your great vids man!
I’m a sophomore and this was my first year throwing discuss and I could never fix my left shoulder dipping when I was releasing the discuss, but now this video showed me how to fix it with the third tip!
This is something that helps me but not everyone, this is a mental tip and probably is the opposite of what some people will recommend, but I don’t think at all about my technique during competitions it gets me too much in my head, I just think of my release and go do my thing
I am a Masters thrower and this is the best video I have seen to help correct technical flaw to improve technique and distance. Explaining not just the how but the why is very beneficial also. Thanks Coach!
I can really respect the passion and dedication to clear and concise communication. Thank you for these videos. I am a retired decathlete that is returning to the circle as a 36-yr-old master. I haven't thrown discus in over 14-years and even when I did, I didn't have an effective full spin. I have thrown 46m out of a half-turn and have a masters goal of throwing over 40m and placing top 3 in the Canadian National Championships (whenever that runs again #covid). I am also a small thrower at 6foot, 200lbs, so all the technical advantage I can get is ideal! Keep up the great coaching.
Thank you so much last season my first meet I threw 94.6Ft and then my throws started to suffered until I did mostly power with the spin, from watching this video and watch my first meet video I found out I’m over rotating my left and my right leg, idk why I was rotating my right leg at all lol but thank you so much this is going to help me a bunch
Great vid. I especially like the technical nature of the instruction. This is actually some very advanced instruction. I notice by watching college and H.S. kids throw that very few coaches work on the upper left side. I've had lots of kids "pull their head" and have an early release or their balance off by improper body alignment. All info good to know. Thanks.....
Things like this are what help me very much. It’s my first season doing discus and I’m already PRd at 134.9ft. Don’t have much coaching so I’m learning all on my own but thanks to these videos I’m seeing more and more improvement
i have districts in two days and i’m panicking trying to correct everything right now Edit 1 year later: This year I advanced to the area meet and set an over 30ft PR from the throw I threw at the district meet from last year 😁
Good stuff! Thank u (I would have put Thank you versus Thank u but that would have been even more wasted motion. Just like discus throw, less wasted motion) 💫
Hey coach my pr is 161'6" in discus that I set almost a year ago. Since then my form i feel has been improving but I haven't thrown over 150 in a long time and I can't feel that kinetic chain anymore. How do I fix that?
Hi Dude I’m almost 12 I don’t spin I throw 95+ feet. I used to throw only 60-70 feet then I stopped winding up and just did a half spin sort of thing and improved my throw almost 30ft. Hope the helped :)
