Javelin Throw - Avoid this Common Mistake during the block

The block or plant in the javelin throw is key to transferring energy into the javelin. Avoid the common mistake of moving into the block with your toe first. I provide a quick progression drill to help you overcome this common mistake and get a solid block. Thank you Jack for letting me use your video!!

First year coaching jav and I've been using a ton of your videos. Happy to say I have three kids qualified for the state championships this year in Jav!

[@coachhalley]

Wow!! Congratulations! Love to hear that! Good luck this year!

[@bjf5027]

@@coachhalley one of them has a chance at top 6, the other two are just pumped to be there!

I’ve been using your videos for a few years to get better at the Jav. I’m 71 years old and compete in a National Championship with the VA. I am the type of person that strives for continuous improvement but I find it difficult at times due to age. Two years ago I won a Bronze medal in Javelin, and last year a Silver medal! I also throw Discus and Shot, but I don’t spin because of vertigo. I’m training for this year’s Games in Salt Lake City in late August and and advice from you would be awesome! I don’t want to get older, just better! Thanks in advance, Mike

[@coachhalley]

Thanks Mike! Getting better can happen from a lot of things. Be more flexible, more fit, faster on the runway, increased range of motion, better posture, a change in grip, more hip and shoulder separation, being well rested before a competition or have better weather. Another area might be equipment like spikes and/or a better javelin. There’s a lot to choose from or simply choose a few you can combine and see if you can increase your distance that way. As I get older, being more fit, more flexible and focused on efficient technique has helped me a lot. I wish you all the best!

I'm really proud of you coach and I think if I find as good as you do I even the world will be proud of the results

[@coachhalley]

Thanks for those kind words!

[@user-oc3jt6th6f]

I think that landing on the heel creates a similar tendency to collapse from the knee, because of momentum or inertia. My preference as well is a foot landing flat. But no only. If We rotate the point of the left foot slightly to the right (pointing at one o clock instead of tweve o clock), that helps strenghten the block due to hip internal rotation.

[@coachhalley]

Love the insight 👍🏻

[@AnthonySiragusa-fw4gd]

i think this will really improve the way i block, thank you very much🙇

[@coachhalley]

Great to hear! Keep up with your training and you’ll get it.

[@emanuelhailu7637]

Hey coach I was wondering if there is a drill to get my hips out before my arm. I have been struggling with this lately. Your videos are very helpful

Sir my height is 5feet and 8 inch can i throw 95+ meter at age 17 i throw 40meter From india

[@coachhalley]

Only two athletes have thrown over 95 meters. I won’t say it is impossible because humans are capable of incredible things. Set your goals and make a plan then take action. Consistent work over time will give you the best outcome. Be healthy and work hard! I wish you the best 👍🏻
