[@ALSONoinam]

It helps a lot ❤. Confidence boosted

[@AquaAk]

Thank you for making this video, I’ve been contemplating quitting for a while because I was 5’9 and this video really helped me with my confidence.

[@Average.joe1]

I’m really happy to hear that!!

[@theaccordian9377]

Bro I'm 5'6"

[@HammerShock23]

​​@@theaccordian9377Then be the best 5'6" thrower you can be! And hey, maybe the hammer or javelin are your thing.

[@yesidm.2569]

GRACIAS👍👍

[@jameslove24]

Jhon powell is another example 6'2 and thrown over 71 meter alex rose is also a example 6'2 thrown over 71 meter

[@snipzfinding8364]

Nick Percy is my hero

[@barnabydiehn3204]

Hannas Hopley-about 5’10, threw 67 meters and made it to the Olympics. Crazy good technique nurtured by Dave Wollman

My Hero was Glen Passey of Utah State. At 5' 9" and 178 lbs, he threw 58.15 M in 1962. His style would not be taught today, but I do. It is interesting to see how he accommodates his shorter stature by using flexibility to lengthen his acceleration path. It is also interesting to note that at that time, we knew very little about strength training for track athletes. Thanks kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5Kcl4yZl9ZqqK8

Great video - thank you! Although shotput, Joe Kovacs is 6 feet or so.

[@Average.joe1]

@@KTtraintowin yep. I should have mentioned that I was mostly discussing discus. I believe wingspan and height would have a greater impact on discus than shotput. Thanks for the feedback!

[@SpencerDMcKnight]

Reese Hoffa and Adam Nelson are also great examples!

[@theaccordian9377]

If you think 6'2" is "short", you gotta be living in a fantasy world. Yaime Perez is a world champion at 5'8".

[@Average.joe1]

@@theaccordian9377 she’s a woman throwing a 1k. We are not talking about womens Discus in this video.

[@HammerShock23]

It would be interesting to see what the armspan for these "shorter" discus throwers is. Having met John Powell and Alex Rose, I'd guess they both have armspans at 6' 6" or longer (and use them well).

[@joethrows9427]

Great video. At what age would you recommend to start weight training?

[@kj4731]

the intro killed me

[@crossfishcreations541]

6ft2 is short dang

[@santocutri9464]

[@noahwilliams3075]

How do I actually get faster? I sprint often but I dont feel like its translating
