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

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

Thanks I have a shot put tomorrow and I don't even know how to do it

Hey Coach, here's a couple items for discussion that apply to both the glide and spin practitioners. There's a KZfaq 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 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 !!

That's what we are searching for on KZfaq and other coaches do not recognize. Thanks a lot.

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

One of the best shot put tecnique explanations that one can find to improve und get better! Thanks a lot from Madrid, Spain.

Wish I had found this video earlier in the season. So much things are making sense now.

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

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.

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 🥰

Omg thank you so much for this this is my first time trying shotput now my coaches are impressed

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.

@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.

You are my guru sir Excellent teaching I'll follow it

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!

super sir thank you

Thank u very much

Hi Coach, I would love your input on this situation...I am going to help coach middle schoolers who have never thrown before. When I was in middle school, I did the side shuffle to begin and then learned the glide in high school. Would you recommend middle schoolers begin with the side shuffle or the step-back for competitions? As I don't think we will have the time to learn the glide in these very shortened seasons due to Covid-19 restrictions (our season is only about 3-4 weeks).

Thank you so much sir🙏

Really thank you 😊 form Egypt

Thankyou very much sir
