Start Actually Using Your Legs When You Throw! Shot Put and Discus Throw Coaching

The second most common correction that I make at track and field throwing camps is athletes picking up their feet before releasing the shot. Coaches will tell athletes to "use more legs" when they throw but that's impossible if their feet are no longer touching the ground. Here's how to keep your feet on the ground and actually produce power with your legs!

This was SUPER helpful!!! Hard to get kids to believe this and hard to get them to really feel the difference. But, we have to be persistent with this thinking!

Fantastic! knowing the relationship between the shot releasing from the fingers, and the back foot! I have never seen a baseball player lift his back foot off the ground and hit consistent home runs.

i can appreciate your development as an instructor. i remember at one of your clinics back in the day you did the ol Tony Hip, and now you acknowledge your own growth in understanding and instruction. i tip my hat to you Sir! in my recent coaching years, i’ve been doing the same on several points, one being the full close you address here.

[@EliteThrowsCoaching]

Yes! As coaches we need to keep learning and developing to be better.

I have also started to include the right shoulder so the hinge is the whole right side. Thoughts?

Awesome Matt! Thanx!

[@weedfreer]

Have you seen the technique (now banned) whereby the putter actually used the motion of a cartwheel in a similar way to the rotating putt technique? It's seems quite an interesting method which I could imagine would generate a fair amount of speed/power if done properly.

Thanks you coach

Correct, bent leg finish..
