FINALLY - I've waited seven YEARS to be taught HOW to use my legs in the shotput. All the videos SAY that the power comes from the legs but they don't EXPLAIN and SHOW EXACTLY how to achieve it. I'm 76 and like to compete in the NY Senior Games. But, for the past seven years I've made no progress in throwing the shot or discus in spite of increases in my weightlifting workouts. Reminds me of a boxer. It doesn't matter how strong or how big your muscles are if you don't know how to throw a punch with proper technique and snap then you won't be able to KO your opponent. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the step by step breakdown and demonstration. I can't wait to get outdoors or in front of a mirror and start working on my (your) technique.
@@Timmy-GrandCross The Senior Games were cancelled for a year or two because of COVID. But that gave me time to relax and "feel" my body and my right shoulder was in constant aching pain. I'd never noticed that before. I think my mind to do better was stronger than what my body (shoulder joint) could stand. So I've stopped with the shotput and discus and now do a more balanced exercise program of light weights and gymnastics. A high bar is a great device for showing you where your weaknesses are. I used to be able to do pullovers and skin the cats so easily - 60 years ago. Now to get a good workout for pullups, I need to add some assistance with my legs. When I think of how fast gains came when I was 20 compared to how long it takes to get any gains at 79. It's disheartening but continuing to workout is better than not working out at all. The sooner I stop working out the sooner I have to face the Lord for Judgement. Might be better to put that off for as long as I can.
@@STBRetired1 Good on you for keeping up with it. I work with a guy that won gold in our state senior olympics for shot put. I told him he was rude because he beat the guy he borrowed a shot put from haha
The advice given by Sir John Bowman is really very detailed and comprehensive for the shot putters. I am indebted to him for his valuable deliberations. I have never seen such a detailed and understandable video on Shot Put. Legendary Sir Bowman has explained everything in a crystal clear manner. Salute to you Sir.
Thank you so very much. I have a seventh grader who is in track for the first time ever. And wants it. Not because he has a future in it but because he's got the "want to". I support him and that fighting spirit to the point of getting a ball and discus but I have just any no skill in shot or discus. So again thank you for teaching us both. You are a natural born coach and we hope to watch anything else you have in both of these events. Shot and discus.
Good video, I'm a Weightlifter looking to do a little bit of throws once a week for something a little different. You explained the technique well, thanks
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge! This is great information. I wish that I had this in high school when I threw because the coaching was definitely inadequate. Now I'm trying to teach my son discus and shot and need to actually learn some proper technique and effective drills. Thanks!
This video strikes gold for me, I'm training my high school students for their inter House sports competition and this video just saved me. All the way from Nigeria
Thank you for your coaching. I used your videos on shot put to teach my son how to compete on his middle school track & field team. He had never competed in track & field before. He ended up setting a new district record that had been in place for 23 years and then went on to win his district. Now my younger son is competing for the same school in the same event so I am back to refresh myself and show him your videos. Well let you know how his season goes. Thanks again!
Another excellent video. These videos are so much more informational and beneficial to coaches and throwers. I can wait to see more videos like these and your progressional videos
I think I just fixed my throwing form in my bedroom at 3 am, I realized I was staying flat footed and pushing my hips backwards out from under me. Thank you I can't wait to see my throws at practice tomorrow
Thanks for the info. My son’s in 8th grade and getting into throwing shot put but doesn’t have a coach. This helps. There’s also not much competition and trying to find out about some events we can travel to
Just found this video, I have a big meet in a few days that I’m supposed to throw shot put in and I have never even thrown one. This video is very helpful
@@johnbowmandiscus hey can you make a video (if you haven’t already) on the one where you turn away from the clay kick back and throw/ turn. I see it a lot and it would really help to know something other than a typical stutter step
This is a very good video, how I wish that I had watched this when I was still playing 13-17 yrs ago. I'll be practicing these drills soon cause I still want to improve on this sport even after years on non competition. Oh, and by the way, I like your shirt, is there an online shop for that? Thanks.
As aa student shotput athelete, I must say this is a very good coaching and I really added more metets in my throw 😌 Btw, ca I ask how to execute the spinning throw? i kinda wanna earn that technique somehow. Tnx!!!
Doha2019 men's shot put was really crazy! It might be the no.1 shot put game in all time history! 22.91, 22.90, 22.71, 22.56, 22.53, 22.35 in a single game!
Im a discus and a shotput thrower and your tips and guides are awesome sir , you disserve more subscribers keep up to a great work sir much love from PH
I have a shotput match in 6 days but I don't know if I'm gonna make it and poorly throwing at some distance more like 3m but actually wanna improve my skill my school is really hoping on me. I wish this works for me.
I have a track meet tomorrow and usually i always get 2nd and 1st place but this is my first time going against some new schools so i don’t know how far they are gonna throw so i’m watching this video to learn new techniques lmao
