    I'm a retired decathlete and I have decided to throw discus as a 36yr old master for the first time. I had a PB of 46m (half spin), but was never able to master the full spin. What helped me was understanding that sometimes less was more and putting my ego aside (half-spinning) allowed me to be pretty competitive as a multi-event thrower. My goal is to be able to throw over 40m again. Looking forward to eating up this information! Thank you!

    I'm a captain this year on my school track team and I have to take a teaching role with some of the newer throwers. I'm fairly experienced with disc and I've gotten to a point where it's just a matter of making little adjustments to my form, but I never learned the basics the proper way. Now that we have new people who have never even held a disc in their hands, I've found myself at a loss for how to teach them. This helped a lot and I'll definitely be using these drills next practice.

  • @HOBBESGROWLS32
    @HOBBESGROWLS32 Před měsícem

    Brother I followed you religiously. I threw only 1 yr of HS and AAU/TAC/JO Programs and got 204' but it never translated in college and beyond.
    I did ok in JUCO and at SDSU but PR'd at 189'4 1/2...standard was 190' at the time so it hurts a bit.
    My point of this story is to say I could have used training videos like this. I had a season under Rink Babka which got me through high school but he was a beer distributor and had to run his business.
    What your doing is important and I applaud you🤙

    I picked up a discus and shotput to throw for the first time at 54 yrs old. I went to this trainer and he thought I had potential. I practiced for months but felt a little weird in the elbow. Anyhow, I went to doc and had to have surgery to actually move my ulnar nerve to reposition under my muscle. But, I am getting the itch to try again at 58 yrs old. The day of my surgery would have been my first Masters tournament and I looked at the results and I would have won for age group.

    Hey @John Bowman! I just wanted to thank you very much for all your video tutorials for discus throw, because of it it helped me win my first time experience discus throw tournament in my university's intramurals. Discus throwing is actually a first for me, but because of your videos it helped me win. Of course it is my first time and I am not really in good shape like in highschool, so I just got to throw it at 21.02 meters. Yeah it's not that far, but I tried my best and practiced all your techniques in your tutorials. So, I thank you very much man. I hope I can send my videos and pictures here to show you but yeah it's not allowed in CZcams comments 😅... And I hope you notice my comment.
