Your point about the joy of throwing is exactly right. I'm 70 plus and still can't wait to get to practice this afternoon. It will be the high point of my day!
I'm only a high school thrower right now but your videos have helped so much over the past year even allowing me to go to States. Thank you so much for continuing to make videos.
Glad to know you’re doing well! You’re my favorite Olympic hopeful this year and I’m rooting for you to get there! Keep up the great training and thank you for the vids, my athletes and I appreciate them.
Nice thoughts on over stressing yourself in the weight room. My best javelin throws came after an injury and I could not lift weights for a month. My arm and associated muscles had healed and my next meet I threw my best ever. So rest and lengthening are just as important as the hard muscle training
Anything and everything. Ice, heat, stretch, rehab, massage, physical therapy, chiropractor, hot tub, sauna, rest, brace, tape. Every injury takes different methods to recover and it takes learning your body through trial and error for what works best on specific things. The key is ACTUALLY doing rehab for potentially a couple hours a day depending on the injury and trying things. Eventually you learn
I’d say slow it down and try to throw 5-10 meters and take like 1000 throws and provided you’re thinking about it you should start to get a feeling. Getting a lot of reps and truly understanding how the discus moves and flies can pretty much only be done with thousands of throws

My favorite thrower and my favorite UA-cam thrower. :0 I base my throw form largely on Dacres' form. Hope your back stays healthy man

If only high school physics had been taught to me like this! Good luck today and this weekend, Jordan!
conservation of angular momentum part was cool
Nice, looks like a perfect day to compete! Can't wait until the next upload

Great video, it's really cool to show what it's like at the higher level

Great video. Very very helpful and interesting👍🇬🇧
Awsome video of different approaches of saying the same idea of a perfect throw. Also, enjoyed seeing you at Richmond. You'll get 66m, keep at it🤟
Incredible stuff my man
Your stability is amazing Jordan ! Although you lose momentum when you spin in the end after you throw discus... More spins means less efficiency...
Only.comment I can make is the discus has been landing too close to your right foot after the throw ?
My God they are fast.
I was wondering what do you guys do to take care of your body like when you have aches and pains?

Hey man. I’m in highschool and I throw discus. I can’t seem to keep the disk flat in the throw. Any tips?
It’s your thumb
@@SxmplyNelly coach told me that I need to put a bit more pressure with the thumb before the throw

@@LifeofJY exactly it’s a feeling
@@LifeofJY If that ain't the truth!
Guessing game! How far do you think I throw? I am 6 foot 245 pounds. My freshman year in college and I throw for a D3 school?
