Hey I've been following your channel for a while and I have learnt so much from you!
I'm a decathlon/heptathlon coach and this is my first season as a coach. And I don't have much experience with shot put.
I have a question about the right leg in the glide shot put. After the glide when the right foot lands on the ground and the power position is hit, should the athlete put as much force in the ground with the right foot as they can while they are turning their knee in?
Is that correct? I ask this because one of my athletes has a great extension with their left leg and uses a lot of power from that leg but the right leg doesn't seem to do much.
Thank you!
Cheers from the Netherlands
Welcome Coach! I had no idea I had subscribers from so many places I've never visited. In an interview David Storl said he's trying to get his right knee to the front of the circle by traveling the greatest distance he can horizontally. At least that's how I interpreted it. So, in addition I think of the forward knee drive 2 ways. One I think of it like in the javelin. You want the right knee to quickly pass through when the bodyweight is passing above. It's effortless. By rolling onto the big toe the knee drops down which drives the right hip forward against the left leg block. Two, I think of the right knee driving forward and staying low like the left knee dropping into the discus circle. That motion creates a tremendous amount of linear drive into the circle. Have someone hold your right arm as you drop in from a South African and you'll probably pull them across the circle. So, with these two examples I'm saying I don't believe you have to think about applying force down and against the ground with your right foot. I also don't think about toe, knee, hip sequence. I think hip, knee toe. Cheers and good luck! -Coach Nels
Here's a video I made a while back showing how I think of hip then knee then toe. ua-cam.com/video/cA5lo2GVa8M/v-deo.html
Thank you for your quicky reply and for such a detailed explanation! Do keep posting these awesome videos :)
What I really like about Storl's technique is that he is so tall in the finish and his legs are close together at the release. My athletes have a tendency to make themselves small and then I show them what Storl looks like at the release and we work to get them to stay tall at the release.
You are most welcome@@leonstuij9540 . I think he's tall at release because he keeps his eyes, chest and head up. Young throwers tend to bend forward at the hips trying to reach far past the toe board which cause the eyes, chest and head to go down making them small and while the arm goes up so they split forces. The top throwers actually don't extend very far past the toe board at release. I'll keep trying to find new topics and make videos and hopefully all my subscribers will find me more subscribers! Thank you!
