Introduction to Shot Put - Glide

[@TheHunkyDoryMan]

Made the track team today. I didn’t think I could do it. Used this strategy, thanks coach!

[@ThrowsCoach]

I am so happy for you Helaine! Awesome. Let me know how things go! Throw far!

[@randyrandy1727]

This is the kind of coach you train your guts out for just because you want to do well

[@willkalinich2426]

I have been throwing since 8th grade, I am now a senior and I stumbled upon this video today after a bad meet in all three throws, this video helped me a ton, I did not realize how much I was doing wrong. Thank you so much !!

[@STBRetired1]

Hey Coach, here's a couple items for discussion that apply to both the glide and spin practitioners. There's a KZbin video that compares early Brian Oldfield when he threw 75' to his later throws when his technique was changed and his distances decreased. Basically, from the power position in the early Brian period, he went vertical slightly before he began his turn into the launch. In his later period, when he wasn't throwing so far, he began his turn before going vertical. Since those days, no one has thrown 75' since those days. Another comparison between Oldfield's technique and today's throwers is this - Oldfield launched WITH BOTH LEGS pushing. Today, the coaches teach to only use the right leg to turn the hips into the throw and then use the blocking leg to go vertical. The result is that the right leg stays bent and never stretches out to help push against the ground to add power to the throw. Of course, since Brian Oldfield's time, no one has matched his throwing distances except Rand Barnes. His reasoning, I guess, was that you can generate more power and push velocity with TWO LEGS rather than just one leg. Another difference I noticed with Brian Oldfield was how DEEP he was in the squat position throughout the spin. Brian was down into an almost half squat whereas most throwers today are barely into a quarter squat with knees barely bent. Is that just laziness, poor technique or what?

I always come to this video to refresh my drills and throws. I threw in Highschool and now I am throwing as a highland athlete, not quite a shot out but a stone anywhere from 8# to 16#. So far I am good with mine but I know I can get better. I have the power but my technique flaws bleed power away. Watching this video helps me a lot. So thank you 🥰

[@TheHunkyDoryMan]

Love these tips. I 100% recommend to people doing track and field for the first time. I use this method for shot out and I’m on varsity now. Thanks so much for the tips. I had no idea what I was doing when I was starting. Lol

Hey coach i just want say thank you very much sir, you explain every tutorials very well than the others to be honest. This will help me a lot Thank you coach!... Big respect from Philippines

Ive really been struggling to get past 25ft, and in order to qualify for the majority of my meets I need to get 35ft. Thanks for this Im gonna try it out next time im on the feild. Hopefully I can get my distance up.

[@nicolas753]

Same. I throw 120 in discus but i cant do shotput very good.

[@jakeroberts7302]

@4:00 Hey nice shoes! I had those for most of my high school throws career. I love the glide. Well done! Emphasizing both the foot turn while landing in the power and having the upper body pointed to the back of the ring has helped my folks out tremendously.

[@brentrandolph9661]

Thanks for this video. My 9 year old has taken an interest in shotput and I was a runner. So had no clue what to teach

[@laurareusser8644]

thank you for this break down for beginners. I threw years ago but it was hard to know how to explain it to the kids I coach. I will use this and your terminology often. Thanks again.

[@fishyonyou6903]

Hi yes I would just like to thank you for making a video like this one this was very helpful to me (I’ve never played shot put in my life) I think my coach will be proud of me when u go out for my first practice!

[@santhoshtrivandrum]

Good video... Wondering why you didn't talk much about the angle of throw which is very important. I guess 45 degrees is the optimum one.

[@ThrowsCoach]

I have measured many throws and analyzed top throwers in the world and seems 37-42 degrees seems optimal.

[@ThrowsCoach]

Because... you are not throwing the shot from the surface but from the hand sometimes 2 meters from the surface.

[@ThrowsCoach]

Hi Keith.. I would say yes... however... ever seeing your daughter may be the rotational technique may also be a good fit as most of the top throwers in the world are doing this approach to shot. From a personal opinion, I try young throwers at rotational first, especially if they are young.

[@youcefhrc3361]

Hi

[@lukedavey4208]

All good thinking, however you definitely do not want to have a poster of a straight line.. you want to hunch down in order to gain momentum going into your block and then that arm strike to really send the thing. When you initially begin your glide, you do not hunch down enough. If you did, you would then easily use that left arm, open at a 45 degree angle, and send it to the moon haha! Otherwise good video!

[@ThrowsCoach]

That's a fair comment. "Back to the sky" out of the back. You will hear this comment when I analyze top throwers in this channel. For beginners, it is a good starting point. I will be doing a next level shot put video in the spring and will refer to this position out of the back. Thanks for your comment Cudi!
