Thank you for this video! I’m a female student and I’ve been throwing discus since I was 11 but I wanted to find more helpful ways to help me throw farther! I really appreciate this video

[@saraiahdonnelson5163]

hey girl same!! whats your pr?

[@m1oberon]

Hello, I've been competing in the senior games for about 6 years. I love it! I plan to compete in the nationals this summer. Thank you very much for taking the time to help us.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

That is great! I'm glad you find my videos helpful 👍😃

[@alecberlin6803]

You are the best man, I’ve come back to your videos in a time of need and stress about the discus. And you give me encouragement like no other source. And I don’t think I’m the only one, thank you. 🙏🏻

Hey Coach I'm a Sophomore in highschool and this is my first year throwing and I'm very serious about this sport and hope to get a scholarship off of this but the problem is my "Coach" is only in it for the paycheck. He only taught us how to do the barbarian and stand throw in shotput. But I prefer discus. As for discus I had to learn how to do a stand throw off of KZbin. I'm currently throwing 70's at practice but my official pr is 60"1 ft. But once I started watching your videos and Aretethrows Nation TV videos I went from throwing 30's to 70's in a matter of one week. But your videos help a lot more and thank you for hard and generous work you put into your videos. It'd be nice to have a Coach who is serious about teaching and helping throwers be the best they can be like you!

[@jasss1560]

Thats so amazing where you at now?

Sir what is different in sandra pervovic than other throwers🤗

[@johnhands3707]

Where to get those great throw shoes? Every source sez they are out of stock in popular sizes since last February.

[@priyanshuchoudhary1807]

Thanks for this video

[@arwinkrishna8951]

Thanks for giving soooooo many tips in your videos

[@yeshuraj.bharatanand]

Your story is very inspirational! To make a comeback in throwing events after being away from it for a few years is easier said than done. By the way, is age on your side? How old are you in July 2019?

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Thank you and I agree! Coming back to the discus is the most challenging adventure I've ever faced. I am 32 years old and I believe I have 3 to 5 years of far throws in me!

[@yeshuraj.bharatanand]

@@johnbowmandiscus Best wishes! Please hit your peak to fulfill your dreams ASAP. Another compliment is that your videos make lot of sense and they are concise as well as precise.

[@jadenriley3269]

Literally on my way to a track meet right now...

[@Datboi1337PlaysGames]

I throw in my Conference Championship tomorrow. Senior year

[@wlpk02]

Great Video. I am a 50yr old who is getting ready to compete in my first senior games 6 weeks from now. I have not thrown discus in over 30 years. I still have 2K discus from years ago, should I continue to train with those?? or get 1.5k which is what I will be throwing in competition. Cheers!

[@johnbowmandiscus]

That is very exciting! I wish you the best in your training and competing! I would get a 1.5k discus if I were you. It will help your technique at this point in your training!

[@oldeconomist4235]

I'm an old discus thrower -- decades of competition, and coaching, too.. John is right. You really must get a few 1.5k discuses. I'd order a few 1.25s for training speed, as well With the 2ks, you are building some strength and stability but you are training to throw too slowly.

[@Careybear92]

I just keep thinking..."in jeans"!!! Lol

[@johnbowmandiscus]

I've got to turn the camera on no matter what I'm wearing when an idea pops into my head! lol

[@Chdyyggxddbnnn]

❤️My 1994 discus record is still standing!😊

[@akeelahnezz7154]

What was the record?

[@rajivranjanjha5669]

This video is great

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful!!!

[@johnhands3707]

Maybe you could give a tip on how to get Nike or Adidas throw shoes. Every source I’ve tried(13) has been out of stock sinceFebruary. My running shoes grab the concrete throwing circles like they have talons and strain the knee when pivoting.

[@UpshiftNL]

Amazon?

[@rajivranjanjha5669]

Sir you are great

[@harrisonn56]

I’m currently in 8th grade (first year) I threw 100.7 in my first meet😁

[@grayfoe7731]

bro i thought i was doing good 😭😭 i’m a sophomore and i just started throwing two months ago and my pr is 85 even. i’m a girl and pretty scrawny tho so i think i can improve. good luck on your season!!

[@zakairud5153]

Yes, very good!

[@gonuruhimasindhu4942]

Thank u for this vedio I am female student l have been discus throwing I want more help ful ways

[@stevespyder]

any suggestions for someone that can not afford proper rotational spin shoes? right now i use shoes with very well worn front soles, but i am thinking of trying used bowling shoes.

[@babylnn4613]

I know you commented this a while ago but I actually just bought some spinning shoes for about 64.99 which is pretty good considering some are 110 dollars. I got mine off eastbay so try looking there or on a resell site.

[@stevespyder]

@@babylnn4613 still a bit pricey for me but thx for the hint

[@SkylarNielsen]

Hey John! Thoughts on Niel Serafenas? Also you’ve mentioned being trained by kanter’s coach, do you think it’s possible the Europeans have consciously tried to sabotage our technique as Americans? We are competitors on the world stage after all.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

In the last few decades, the Europeans have kicked our ass in the discus. I put my money where the results are.

[@SkylarNielsen]

John Bowman for sure! I’ve noticed some discrepancies in their form and ours. Olympic sabotage is fairly common if I’m not mistaken. I am by no means attacking your form or technique I was just asking since you’ve been trained by a European.

[@johnbowmandiscus]

@@SkylarNielsen For sure. You could say that I am influenced by the European style of throwing mostly because it has worked for me and because I trust Coach V. Thanks for the comments!👍

[@SkylarNielsen]

John Bowman I concur, the ideal form is not owned by any one country or nationality. I continuously see a linear drive toward the right sector. I realized the linear drive must be applied on the right side of the center of rotational gravity or else the linear momentum fights the rotational momentum. Does that sound accurate to you?

[@johnbowmandiscus]

@@SkylarNielsen Honestly, that language is a little over my head. 😂

[@shanupandit8818]

Nice sir good

[@johnbowmandiscus]

Thank you!

[@llivva4346]

i’m a freshman girl in high school and i throw 67 in just the power potion and i am hoping to throw farther when i can master my south african thanks for the helpful video

[@johnbowmandiscus]

I'm glad the videos are helpful! and I know for sure that you will get a lot more distance once you incorporate a good spin. You got this 💪
