Thank you for making these. I’m a sophomore in high-school and I go to super small school and we don’t have a throwing coach so I’m currently self coaching. I’m a discus thrower and you’ve helped me realize what I’ve been doing wrong throughout the ring!
Sit back, but done lean back keeping those swinging lever in place. Good stuff here! Wish that I had this kind of info when I was competing. Keep up the great coaching for our athletes.
I agree with most everything in this video and think it's spot on. How ever I do have that straight/extended right leg as it is passing the left and I dont like it. The reason being is twofold: - "A bent leg moves faster than a straight leg as in sprinting" -Coach Ralph Maughan the coach of Jay Silvester - Getting the right leg to bend again in the center is difficult. And I think it can lead to missing the action of the adductor because of an interiorly rotated right thigh. When the right thigh is eternally rotated (IE leading with the inside of the thigh) and bent; I believe this puts a greater stretch reflex in the adductor speeding up the turn or hip unit switch in the center of the circle. This is something both Jay Silvester and Mykolas Alekna do.
Thanks Dane, I really like the idea of the mirror. At the start, you can think of the both legs bent as being a sitting position. Add being on your toes for both feet forces you to be balanced over your toes - you can't be accidentally leaning backwards! The start position for the upper body is actually a wind up (clockwise as seen from above). This rotational momentum as the upper body unwinds gives enough momentum to allow the leg sweep into the mirror position. OK, what comes next? Just kidding!
For your taller (6’5”+)athletes In shot put do you tell them push out of the back? If so how do they not have issues getting Jammed up at the toe board? Getting super long right leg is critical but I always was told to flick my leg out of the back to get off it and start turning so i wouldn’t get jammed up… Any thoughts?
So is it correct to say, when your right foot is about 11-12 o'clock, your left arm should be at 6 o'clock? I noticed some of the throwers tend to raise their right sweep leg until about 12 o'clock and then sweep it down toward the center of the ring. It's probably most pronounced with Valerie Allman. Do you actively kick your sweep leg out high and then try to get around the left to accomplish that?

in the same position myself
That was a great explanation and gives one a good vision and feeling in actually simplifying the technique of the throws.

Teach about full rotation...
