    I'm a retired decathlete and I have decided to throw discus as a 36yr old master for the first time. I had a PB of 46m (half spin), but was never able to master the full spin. What helped me was understanding that sometimes less was more and putting my ego aside (half-spinning) allowed me to be pretty competitive as a multi-event thrower. My goal is to be able to throw over 40m again. Looking forward to eating up this information! Thank you!

The farthest I have thrown right now is 61ft and this video helped me get to that point, so thank you! And the farther I have thrown before that was 55ft.

    I'm a captain this year on my school track team and I have to take a teaching role with some of the newer throwers. I'm fairly experienced with disc and I've gotten to a point where it's just a matter of making little adjustments to my form, but I never learned the basics the proper way. Now that we have new people who have never even held a disc in their hands, I've found myself at a loss for how to teach them. This helped a lot and I'll definitely be using these drills next practice.

    Hey @John Bowman! I just wanted to thank you very much for all your video tutorials for discus throw, because of it it helped me win my first time experience discus throw tournament in my university's intramurals. Discus throwing is actually a first for me, but because of your videos it helped me win. Of course it is my first time and I am not really in good shape like in highschool, so I just got to throw it at 21.02 meters. Yeah it's not that far, but I tried my best and practiced all your techniques in your tutorials. So, I thank you very much man. I hope I can send my videos and pictures here to show you but yeah it's not allowed in UA-cam comments 😅... And I hope you notice my comment.

    Brother I followed you religiously. I threw only 1 yr of HS and AAU/TAC/JO Programs and got 204' but it never translated in college and beyond.
    I did ok in JUCO and at SDSU but PR'd at 189'4 1/2...standard was 190' at the time so it hurts a bit.
    My point of this story is to say I could have used training videos like this. I had a season under Rink Babka which got me through high school but he was a beer distributor and had to run his business.
    What your doing is important and I applaud you🤙

    I picked up a discus and shotput to throw for the first time at 54 yrs old. I went to this trainer and he thought I had potential. I practiced for months but felt a little weird in the elbow. Anyhow, I went to doc and had to have surgery to actually move my ulnar nerve to reposition under my muscle. But, I am getting the itch to try again at 58 yrs old. The day of my surgery would have been my first Masters tournament and I looked at the results and I would have won for age group.

    I wish there had been videos like this when I was throwing discus in high school. Of course, back then, the internet had not yet been invented!

      I know! Even when I was younger good throws information was hard to come by!

    I made an athletic Dungeons and Dragons character who throws a discus as a weapon, and I found your video while trying to learn more about it. I've also been getting more into working out and now I really want to actually try it myself.

    Today was my first day throwing discus, doing a traditional standing throw I hit 85' on one of my first attempts, is that good?

    My son is 14, almost 6 foot 3 and 260lbs. He wants to throw discus and shot put for his first season of middle school track. Can you advise what weight/brand discus I should I buy for him? He is loving your videos. Thank you for sharing.
