Holy crap, I’m so happy I found this. I needed some thing for the kids to safely do while introducing them to shotput and this is well within their means. Thank you!
I'm currently helping my middle school daughter learn to throw. You have great techniques for teaching and make learning for a beginner much easier than I can! Thanks!
like line drill have used it for 40 years . only thing I teach different is to turn the right foot at about 160 degrees !! LIKE RANDY MATSON DID . Two things :1 make glide easier to teach pushing off the ball of the foot heel is just off ground . 2 easy to turn the right foot to 90 Degrees like Feurbach . and you can still keep the head eyes and shoulders back. i emphasize left arm a bid more teaching "throwing it" up around and down. like emphasis on release thumb down,elbow up finger flip. face sun pretty dark but lots of good stuff in there.

Hey Adriane, here's a couple items for discussion that apply to both the glide and spin practitioners. There's a CZcams video that compares early Brian Oldfield when he threw 75' to his later days 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 as they teach today. 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 Randy 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 almost into a half squat whereas most throwers today are barely into a quarter squat with knees barely bent. Is that just laziness, poor technique or what?
Thanks for the message, I apologize I didn't see it for some time. When I coach the power position for gliders or rotational throwers I emphasize the importance of double support and working both legs into the finish of the throw. As a right handed thrower, the right side turns into the throw as the left side pushes back against the toe board (or similar) for the block to create the simultaneous vertical energy into the release. There should be enough force from the right side to allow a reverse through the finish. Half squat is optimal for the power position, however, I find many athletes lack the single leg strength to maintain that hip level and rotate with appropriate speed.
I JUST discovered a technique flaw that, when corrected, added three or four feet to my throw. I keep my elbow directly behind the shot. Sounds simple, doesn't it? But, I have a long neck and would start by placing the shot up under my ear on the jaw. I would keep the shot there until ready for launch. In that position, it is almost impossible to keep your elbow high enough. The best analogy I can think of is bench pressing. To do a maximum effort, your elbows are directly below your hands and the bar. If your elbows are NOT directly below your hands and bar such as when you bring the bar down to your face instead of down to your chest then you cannot lift as much weight. Same with the shot. I was not getting maximum power transfer to the shot because of the tilted up arm angle. It was getting to be almost a baseball throw. I don't remember reading ANYWHERE that explains that form. The rules say to START the shotput movement with the shot against the neck. But, they don't tell you that after you get into the power position and start your rotation to launch - YOU CAN MOVE THE SHOT DOWN TO THE FRONT OF YOUR SHOULDER so can you apply maximum power in a horizontal plane against the shot. If someone had only told me that, I could have saved YEARS of pain and aggravation. And, at 74 years old, I don't have that much time to waste. Another technique adjustment I made is this. I noticed when top putters like Michelle Carter launch the shot, they are leaning backwards a bit. It was only when I thought about the bench press analogy that I think I figured out why. Which can you bench press the most with - incline benches, flat benches to mid chest or DECLINE BENCH PRESSES? Answer - decline benches. So, that's what I think Michelle was tapping into by leaning back a bit. She wasn't launching the shot in an upward angle by doing an incline press. She was leaning back to do, kindof, a decline bench press to use the stronger muscles. Does that make sense? If so THEN I WISH SOMEONE HAD EXPLAINED ALL THIS TO ME ON ALL THE VIDEOS I'VE WATCHED. All the instructional videos explain WHAT TO DO but not WHY you do the moves a certain way. Without understanding WHY then you have to memorize a series of disjointed actions which makes it harder to learn the shotput movement. When you DO understand why then your body AUTOMATICALLY makes the adjustments without you having to think about them. There, that's my venting for today.
What a great set of instruction. The world needs you! Please make this video again with a wind guard on the mic! The problem is that the wind is louder than you are and its sooo distracting.
Wayne Twaddell thanks for the comment! I apologize for the poor audio. I had to make the video on the fly and in one take! I’ll make a new one with better audio quality next time. I’m glad you liked the content.
I am a high school Throws coach and your videos really help a lot, because I originally got hired on as a football coach until they found out I threw in high school. Do you have any tips on Javelin throwing?
While sliding the main leg the weight transfer has to be done or not ..I mean I can see whole weight is on the main leg then it remains there until the throw is done..
A lot of the power is from the push off the main leg and the body weight transfer does not occur until the hips have rotated and extended upon the hand release.
Kalaya Dutch the flick of the wrist creates a stretch-reflex effect on the release. The shot put should stretch the fingers and upon release, roll off the fingertips with a flick to put the shot in a rotation. If the shot put simply rests in the hand and fingers the distance is generated from a shove and the shot put basically plops out of the hand. The wrist flick and action off the fingertips will provide a better release. If the weight of the shot put is bothersome to the wrist consider athletic tape or a stretchy Velcro wrist wrap for support. Be mindful most track and field rules prohibit wrist support in between fingers or into the palm. Consult with your governing body on the specifics. Throw far!
oh thats really helpful mam... would u pls tell the weight of shot put ur holding ? and how far a beginner can throw according to u... following ur drills? im very weak in my arms ; shoulder also.. im doin a 7.26kg shotput mam
I'm glad you found the video helpful. I was using a 4kg shot put in the video. Throwing is an individual progression. Proper technique and increasing strength will help your distances with the 7.26kg shot put. Good luck!
GREAT advice. Too bad about the wind noise. It's funny that no matter how much squatting I do, practicing keeping my weight over the right leg is a real leg killer. Your video is going to be one that I replay many times in order to get better. I noticed that you LOBBED that shot out there FARTHER THAN I CAN THROW WITH ALL MY MIGHT. HATE YOU. I better practice your techniques if I want to be as good as you.
Mystery47 thanks for checking it out! I am still lazy on the right leg when I throw but when I actually get down in the proper position and utilize the leg power, the legs do all the work and the arm is just an extension of the throw. I’ve had many years of practice and still working on getting it right!
I love how in almost every track&field video I've ever watched the wind somewhat ruins the instructions. Conspiracy theory...the wind hate things that move faster and/or that are stronger than it.
Thank you for this video. I'm going to practice all this drills today. I hope it will show next Saturday in the competition! 😀
Great video simplified not over thought! Thank you!
Holy crap, I’m so happy I found this. I needed some thing for the kids to safely do while introducing them to shotput and this is well within their means.

gregory ross thanks for checking it out! I hope it helps your athletes.
GREAT set of advices, Adriane Wilson. I really love shot put (and so the discus throw,the hammer throw and the javelin throw,too).
123456RaulMorales I love all the throws but the shot put is my favorite too.
Wonderful explanation. Thank´s a lot for this video!
Great teaching, excellent coaching points. Thanks
Thanks for your video. You helped me for my physical education exam.Keep it up!!!!!!!😊
Thanks for this video . It helps me to improve my technique

Great teaching points. Easy to follow for beginners and functional drills
I am happy my instruction was clear and helpful! Thank you.
Thank you!!!
Used your training and my 10 year old just did a 12 meter with a 2kg. Wow. #girlpower

U r osm
thanks for the video and I must say I am an world record holder in this

A lot of the power is from the push off the main leg and the body weight transfer does not occur until the hips have rotated and extended upon the hand release.
I throw 11 meters at 14. Is that good?
👍👍👍👌👌👌
I thought that flicking your wrist was bad. My old "coach" last year said that it was.
Kalaya Dutch the flick of the wrist creates a stretch-reflex effect on the release. The shot put should stretch the fingers and upon release, roll off the fingertips with a flick to put the shot in a rotation. If the shot put simply rests in the hand and fingers the distance is generated from a shove and the shot put basically plops out of the hand.

Be mindful most track and field rules prohibit wrist support in between fingers or into the palm. Consult with your governing body on the specifics. Throw far!
It is definitely better to flick the wrist... Helps with a smooth release...i call it J-shape with my students.
