Great tips, Dane. I appreciate your covering the basics to reinforce good habits for my kids.

[@ThrowsUniversity]

Thanks a lot John. We hope they continue to help you and your kids out! Much love 🤟

[@bobarciero4097]

Dane, I’m 65 yo, threw the discus in high school, briefly in college and have always loved the field events. Watched the olympics and decided I’m going to train for masters. Your channel is awesome, brings back some forgotten muscle memory. Thank you

[@user-mp5oe4ii2d]

Your videos are fantastic. I have a daughter in high school who seems to be a natural discus thrower as she’s broken 100’ as a freshman. I am trying to give her all the tools to continue building on that ability. Your training videos are definitely going to help.

I’m liking this series a lot. I’d like to see a video on how you approach the path of the discus. I’m a high school coach and agree with your thoughts on comfort expressed in this video. I don’t have a lot of time with my athletes so when I see progress being made, I usually let them roll with it. But I’ve found a lot of my kids are limited by some bad orbit/path habits.

[@ThrowsUniversity]

Yeah it can be a lot to keep track of. We will be releasing more videos on technique soon, so we hope they can be helpful for you and your time. We are thinking of releasing a video on orbit for discus. Stay tuned and thank you for your feedback 💪

[@veolia26]

Love this video Back to basics, awesome I’m a wa mafia throws club member from Perth , goin into M50 this year . Still throwing the 2kg in the off season to build after a few months break . Throwing 2kg 42m ish now will be throwing the 1.5kg , ??? Any tips on goin down in size , feels funny in stand throws but got some real speed in full throws so far Doin 66% with 2kg standing and full Then 33% with 1.5 mostly just walking down the field throwing for rhythm and to get use to it Got a few to really fly today by getting out of circle and just relaxing out on the oval

[@shaunnadowney444]

Thanks for the information. My problem is keeping my left leg long

[@DeeOnCamera4k]

Key things when throwing discus FORCE,TECHNIQUE AND RELEASE, don’t throw it to early because you will scratch and don’t throw it late because you will scratch what I did was practice on throwing without a disc and opening my hands right on time which helped me with perfect release time😊 and always make sure to use more of your legs when throwing and make separation between your upper and lower body this will help you throw even farther

[@bjf5027]

His ability to extend his body to its limit is extremely impressive. He uses his already large wingspan combined with his long legs to create a massive arch around the circle!!

[@mrinaaljain7807]

Can you pls Tell technique for left hand throwers

[@becausewhynot3479]

Im in my second year of shotput and discus and I’m ranked 8th best in the state for disc and 12 best for shot. But now I’ve found that I’m not improving in my throws and my coach and I are not sure how to proceed for me

[@kabelowax6477]

Hi i recently started doing discus for my first time ,i got it right when my coach showed me how to throw it but im not really sure if we doing it right cause all we do is swing our arms when throwing it and not spinning

[@ExoticFroxstyTTV]

I have trouble with separation between my lower and upper body ant tips??

[@user-ic7es1iy5t]

I like you video

[@garywensel9151]

Hi Dane! I'm an older thrower in my 70's. I am not as flexible or as quick footed as younger guys. I cant seem to get the feel of a full throw so I use a modified South African approach. Can you help me get the most out of a limited approach? Also. Many of my throws skid another 20 feet after hitting the ground. So much wasted energy. How can I keep it in the air longer?

[@hoonicals]

First timeee

[@adarshmalik2002]

Sir, I Throw 1.75 kg discuss to about 45m ,i feel comfortable in every type practice but in throws from the full circle i found some less gripping with discuss and less trigger movement, what can I do to improve it???

[@Huntsman101]

I am going to zones for my school district and I can NOT get the spin right. Is there any tips you can give me?

[@wolfculturedec]

Hey you guys I am really struggling with getting a good release on the disc because my fingers are slipping. Any idea how I can get more grip on my disc??

[@Lakshayan608]

Bro please make a video about how to stop dropping the discus when I come to the power position I got a nationals in 2 months

[@sadashivapoojare8633]

❤❤

[@giandeepsingh3362]

I m a beginner in discus throw. Instead of going straight my discus flips up and down before landing on the ground. How can I improve it? Please mention few tips that I can practice for proper throw.

[@isiahgivens5165]

Thanks so much, these helped so much as a sophomore in high school. But about the release, every time I throw it keeps coming off the middle finger and my coach says that it should be going off the index like you said but I don’t know how to fix that. Any ideas?

[@megokaboomwotblitz7129]

Personally, I think you’re gripping too much of the discus, at least for me. Try to make sure your index finger is at the middle of the discus so it releases out of the index and not the opposite direction. Also, it def will feel uncomfortable at first but it’ll feel a lot more natural overtime. Btw I know this message is pretty late and I think you might have figured that part out already so yea 😅

[@megokaboomwotblitz7129]

@Isiah Givens

[@thewheatleypodcast]

No matter what I do, the Discus just slips out of my hands. I've tried everything with how to grip and throw and it just slips out and the discus doesn't spin or anything. I went from throwing 110 feet pr in 7th grade and now I'm throwing 70 with track season about to start for 8th grade

[@youngjody3063]

I have good movement and I have pretty good speed but I can’t get my release right my PR IS 91.10 and it’s constant but I threw yesterday in a meet and threw 82 and my release wasn’t good

[@becausewhynot3479]

I throw shot and disc I’m in middle school and throw a 1 kg disc and I throw 112-5 and I want to know if it’s possible for me to do well in the sport in the Highschool and the college level

[@leeretard6695]

I have trouble controlling my speed across the ring

[@garywensel9151]

I'd like to see an episode dedicated to senior athletes. I'm not as flexable as the younger guys. My back cant take all the torque...

[@cameronthomas1729]

The main thing I struggle with is speed coming out the back and going across the ring on shot and disc. Any tips on How I can improve? Thank you

[@DeeOnCamera4k]

Focus on force

[@toeknee4301]

Dane, anytime I start practice after a weekend or mid week break I usually have an awesome practice but the one right after is mediocre/bad as in I'm just not throwing as far. How do I a good consistency in my practices?

[@ThrowsUniversity]

This is all a part of training and it sounds like you do well with the rest day. Make sure that you ingest a lot of protein, sleep 8-10 hours a night, and do mobility consistently. This will boost your recovery and get you to hit those FAR THROWS.

[@incorectulpolitic]

@@ThrowsUniversity how much is a lot of proein? 1g/lbs, 1.5g/lbs? 2g/lbs?

[@ThrowsUniversity]

@@incorectulpolitic you want 2 grams per kg of bodyweight

[@bhevrage]

Im a freshman in hs and I want to get the freshman record in shot put, I have the strength but I don't have that good a form and I don't know how to utilize my entire body to get more distance.

[@ovation1k]

Same but for discus

[@ericdesanto1831]

Does the rate that the disc spins in the air matter? Are you doing anything with your hand or fingers to change the spin rate? I saw the comment below about the tube of toothpaste. Is that about spinning the disc?

[@tommyromanowski]

Yes. That’s why there are different rim weights for discs. If you get more of that squeeze with your finger on a higher-rim-weight disc, it will spin faster/go farther

[@justinjstanford5853]

What are your thoughts on squeezing the hand. I tell my throwers to squeeze a tube of tooth paste (bar of soap, banana) in their hand starting with the pinky and ending with the ring finger.

[@jvkanufan8115]

Yeah - I'm interested in that too. I like the sensation. Not sure if it is something to shoot for or not.

[@ThrowsUniversity]

If you think it works, definitely keep doing it. We will try that with some of our younger athletes and see how they respond. Thank you for the insight 👍

[@user-qj1le1wb1j]

I am having so much trouble being able to accurately throw my discuss using all my power, I can't throw it straight when I try and throw as hard as I can

[@stephenjutte9482]

I basically struggle with every part of the throw, except when it's releases from my hand Im pretty good at that part.

[@YourBoy-bz8pw]

Dane I need some help I’m iron man ing my disk

[@stevespyder]

tips for someone with small hands?

[@ThrowsUniversity]

We recommend putting the index finger and middle finger together for grip.

[@stevespyder]

@@ThrowsUniversity ty i will try that, just sitting at my computer trying to do that, I look like Spock 8)

[@3202011]

Our daughter has potential. She's in 10th grade. I can lead a horse to water but I can't make it drink. So far only 31 shot and 110 discus. She's 15 in 10th grade. Thank You...

[@samjithct8693]

👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

[@jvkanufan8115]

I tried the closer index and middle finger hand placement (with poor wrist position). It gave me nerve irritation along my arm. Fingers spread nore evenly works better for me.

[@ThrowsUniversity]

Yeah JV, you have to find what works best for you. Everyone is different. We've had 200 Ft throwers grip both ways. Glad you found one that works best for you! How has your discus felt after making the change?

[@jvkanufan8115]

@@ThrowsUniversity Definitely feels more natural. I think I was sort compensating with my wrist for control of the discus, or at least the sensation of control and that caused the issue. I've had to start with lighter implements and work back up and work up in intensity of throws too.
