Javelin is power and accelerational event but it's also an event of finesse that let all of your body parts work together at the very end. In this episode, US-American Javelin Athlete Kara Winger helps you to improve your footwork and your leg block. You can throw pretty far without a good run-up but you will never get even close to your potential if you don't focus on power and acceleration that you can develop on the runway. Focussing on your footwork will get a lot more distance!
Always remember:
1)The impulse is more of a Lateral Jump compared to your Crossovers
2) Create a solid Block
3) Drive your body the same direction you want the Javelin to go
