Keep working on your technique and the distance will come. Good luck!

That's great discipline. Keep going. You will reap the rewards for your perseverance and commitment.

Great to hear, coach Bedard really knows his stuff. By just slowing down out of the back of the ring, hitting those positions and keeping the lower body ahead of the upper body you can go well beyond 120. Let us know how it goes.

Damn that’s really good, do you do the spin?

@@jonathancheddar6970 Im still learning the spin the last 2 meets ive been to ive done it . better to try it in action

@@therealspinez3503 nice. Our practice doesn’t have nets so we can’t try it

@@OutperformOfficial coming back a year later took a break for until spring season working on my entry again opened up at the first meet with a 129

Happy to hear that!

Haha, indeed!

Can you provide more details? Are you talking about distances?

Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words about our training tips! It seems the issue may be rooted more in the dynamics of the full throw motion rather than physical capability. When transitioning from stand to full throws, athletes often shift their focus from technique to power or speed, which almost always hurts technique. Patience with the upper body is critical. The lower body needs to lead which sounds like it's not. Pivot throws can really help with this. Also experiment with taking out the reverse as this will help with upper body patience and rhythm of the throw. It's harder to blow through the finish and distance will really drop if the athlete isn't patient with the upper body on non-reverse throws. Lastly work on turns with a stick, getting rid of the implement can help the athlete to feel the correct positions and focus on keeping the torso wound during the landing.

@@OutperformOfficial thank you for replying so quickly, we are currently in preseason so I'm trying to get as much quality time with my starters as possible. So, I will do these 360 pivot drills with him, try the stick drill, and work on leading with the lower. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again, your channel is amazing

@@OutperformOfficial also, I forgot to mention, but you helped me out last season when one of my athletes was struggling with over rotating. We implemented your med ball drills and she ended up PR'ing later that season and she's now on scholarship throwing at BYU for Nick. Thanks again!!

The 360 degree drill is going to be slightly different than entry out of the back on the throw because you are rotating for an additional 180. However same mechanics apply as far as arm pit over knee over foot.The idea is to be on balance and in control out of the back.

Thanks!@@OutperformOfficial
