Hey Coach, here's a couple items for discussion that apply to both the glide and spin practitioners. There's a UA-cam video that compares early Brian Oldfield when he threw 75' to his later throws when his technique was changed and his distances decreased. Basically, from the power position in the early Brian period, he went vertical slightly before he began his turn into the launch. In his later period, when he wasn't throwing so far, he began his turn before going vertical. Since those days, no one has thrown 75' since those days. Another comparison between Oldfield's technique and today's throwers is this - Oldfield launched WITH BOTH LEGS pushing. Today, the coaches teach to only use the right leg to turn the hips into the throw and then use the blocking leg to go vertical. The result is that the right leg stays bent and never stretches out to help push against the ground to add power to the throw. Of course, since Brian Oldfield's time, no one has matched his throwing distances except Rand Barnes. His reasoning, I guess, was that you can generate more power and push velocity with TWO LEGS rather than just one leg. Another difference I noticed with Brian Oldfield was how DEEP he was in the squat position throughout the spin. Brian was down into an almost half squat whereas most throwers today are barely into a quarter squat with knees barely bent. Is that just laziness, poor technique or what?
I have been throwing since 8th grade, I am now a senior and I stumbled upon this video today after a bad meet in all three throws, this video helped me a ton, I did not realize how much I was doing wrong. Thank you so much !!
Love these tips. I 100% recommend to people doing track and field for the first time. I use this method for shot out and I’m on varsity now. Thanks so much for the tips. I had no idea what I was doing when I was starting. Lol
I always come to this video to refresh my drills and throws. I threw in Highschool and now I am throwing as a highland athlete, not quite a shot out but a stone anywhere from 8# to 16#. So far I am good with mine but I know I can get better. I have the power but my technique flaws bleed power away. Watching this video helps me a lot. So thank you 🥰
thank you for this break down for beginners. I threw years ago but it was hard to know how to explain it to the kids I coach. I will use this and your terminology often. Thanks again.
@4:00 Hey nice shoes! I had those for most of my high school throws career. I love the glide. Well done! Emphasizing both the foot turn while landing in the power and having the upper body pointed to the back of the ring has helped my folks out tremendously.
Hey coach i just want say thank you very much sir, you explain every tutorials very well than the others to be honest. This will help me a lot Thank you coach!... Big respect from Philippines
Hi yes I would just like to thank you for making a video like this one this was very helpful to me (I’ve never played shot put in my life) I think my coach will be proud of me when u go out for my first practice!
Trying out for track and field tomorrow and have never once done it in my life and am super nervous. This video has helped so much! Hopefully I can do it!
THANK YOU SIR! I've been nervous bcs I was called to be the representative of our team but I didn't even know the basics! Thank you so much for the video and informations!
Thank you for your videos. My son joined his high school track and field team as a thrower and I had no clue how to help him or anything this helped a ton.
Ive really been struggling to get past 25ft, and in order to qualify for the majority of my meets I need to get 35ft. Thanks for this Im gonna try it out next time im on the feild. Hopefully I can get my distance up.
Hi Coach, I would love your input on this situation...I am going to help coach middle schoolers who have never thrown before. When I was in middle school, I did the side shuffle to begin and then learned the glide in high school. Would you recommend middle schoolers begin with the side shuffle or the step-back for competitions? As I don't think we will have the time to learn the glide in these very shortened seasons due to Covid-19 restrictions (our season is only about 3-4 weeks).
Thank you very much sir. I've learn a lot from your video .Hope more videos to post so that some athletes would know the proper throw and technique. From Philippines
omg thank u i have a school sports thing n today we have shot put rope pulling and javoline n im just doing a little research in the morning so i dont screw up for my house next amma watch vollyball
Thank you so much sir I'm from Pakistan and a female I have a tournament coming up which includes Athletics I watched three of your videos that really helped. Jevlin discuss and shotput soon I'll get more races I hope I'll be able to find them here coach. Best teacher👍
Im and from america and i have never done shot put befor and the only reason i got picked for it (at my school we dont get a choice) is because we didnt have enough throwing but at our first track meet i got first with 20ft. 8in. So im really trying to get better at it so thanks for this video
@throwscoach 👏superb demonstration how far we can throw by stading mode and also with edge of circle? im a beginner and im preparing with a 7.26kg shotput it feels heavy in my hand i can flick only up to 5m only thats to lesser ... im worried 😶😤 pls help me
Made the track team today. I didn’t think I could do it. Used this strategy, thanks coach!
I am so happy for you Helaine! Awesome. Let me know how things go! Throw far!
This is the kind of coach you train your guts out for just because you want to do well

That's what we are searching for on UA-cam and other coaches do not recognize. Thanks a lot.
