Discus throw training 
Спорт
Thanks for the great video. It keeps me inspired as I continue to work on my throwing technique at age 54. I've gotten back to what I was throwing in High School by faithfully watching your vids and going to the ring to throw. My son, who I have coached and trained with since he was in the 5th grade, is leaving for college this week so I'll be on my own, other than your videos. Keep it up!! Bula
What's the disc weight for those of us over 50? ...I'm 53....you've inspired me to get rolling back in it...
@@senor12 1.5 - so not much of a drop from 1.6, but I've been using the 1.6 for training.
I love hearing your story and am proud of what you and your son have accomplished! Thanks for all the support! 💪
Vern, I know that feeling, seeing your Son who you have coached and nurtured leave for College/University is a gut wrencher. However, the upside is you now have the time, as I did, to focus on your own training. I'm moving into the 60+ age group in September and will be purchasing John's course and am really excited by the prospect of throwing some very decent distances too. I actually get to throw a 1k Discus in this age group.....bring it on!!!!!!
Few people have an understanding of how difficult it is for the post-collegiate athlete once the realities of life hit them. Looks like you have set reasonable short and longterm goals. Keep throwing as long as you can John. The work you are doing will shape the next generation of throwers from around the world. Would have loved to have had your videos and advice when I threw in High School 50 years ago.
Marty, I appreciate that message. Successfully throwing after college looks a whole lot different than what I expected. And I wish there was content like this when I was in high school... There are so many great resources available today. But I still believe that the greatest factor in someone's ability to throw well is their heart. How bad do they want it. 💪
@@johnbowmandiscus John, I have always respected your faith. Mostly, I am impressed by your acceptance of athletes of different colors, beliefs or faith. It is obvious that you still love the sport of throwing, but most of all, you wish to have a balanced life as a Coach of your specialty. It is essential if you are going to coach, you need to help High School students not only throw, but learn from your struggles as a post-Collegiate thrower. Specifically, when the realities of life(post HS or College) hit. Even in High School, young throwers must seek to understand how to balance their lives and their personal wellness, academics, training, coach/athlete relationship, etc. Once they have found a balance, then they must prepare for the physical and mental stresses of competition. There is nothing quite as stressful as when you throw for the *first time wearing your HS of Collegiate uniform. I seem to remember being scared to death the first time I was in the circle at a National Championship. Based on my 44 years coaching, I have found that if there is poor balance in their athletic life then they could fail in the long-term. This not only includes sport, but it could lead to a downward spiral as the student-athlete faces the ever increasing stresses inside and outside of sport, especially when competing post High School or as Collegiate Athletes.
We have always prepared our elite wheelchair racers at Illinois by finding a balance in training and academics. If the post-collegiate student-athlete is engaged physically and mentally, they never have time to waste and they have achieved a balance in one of their stressors. We have seen some of our student-athletes competing up to 15+ years at our USOPC National Wheelchair Racing Center in Champaign, Illinois. For the most part, our elite student-athletes leave with at least one or two Master's or a PH.D Degrees. They leave our system with horizons that are unlimited. This includes vocationally within their chosen academic and athletic specialty. If they decide to stay in sport, there are also job opportunities within the umbrella of the USOPC, IPC, or IOC. One thing I always told my Freshmen:"just show up" for the first semester. If you can keep them engaged and away from the noise of HS or collegiate life, they might meet their short and long-term goals and be ready for their first Spring wearing either the Orange and Blue or the Red, White and Blue colors. It is just my thoughts, take care John and keep putting out quality content on throwing. As always, thanks for listening. Be safe and best of luck with your Vlog and merch sales.
*Last time I checked our athletes have come home with at least 90 Paralympic and World Championship medals in racing since 1982. It is not an accident that most of our elite racers leave with a minimum of an Associate, Baccalaureate or Masters Degree. There seems to be a direct relationship between winning medals while possessing balance in your Faith, Academics and Athletic Performance, all while possessing exceptional time management skills. This does not include the numerous wins at the Boston, New York, London, Duluth and Chicago Marathons. I have lost track of the total medal count at the other prestigious road races internationally.
I agree with the post by Vern Blohm. What I find really refreshing is your honesty. No BS with your videos. It also shows that for amateurs it is important to recognise that there are other things in life that need attention, but we can all still keep working on our throws. Good luck and keep up the good work
I really appreciate that message! Means a lot!
Videos like this make me realize that 50 meters might be a pretty lofty goal for myself. That’s what I want to hit by the 2024 master world championships. I’ll be 47 then. I threw 33.70 from a stand a few weeks back after not throwing for 22 years.
50 meters is a big goal, but I wouldn't second guess it quite yet. Over the first 6 months or so of training you might not feel like you are not improving very much. Progress is slow but if you focus on the right things you can steadily improve. For right now, focus your training on things that improve your general strength and hip, core, and shoulder range of motion. You need those things to stay healthy as you throw. In regards to throwing, don't worry to much about technique yet, just focus on getting the discus to fly nice from the stand throw. The last thing I'll say is focus on consistency over performance. Decide which workouts you are going to do and get them in no matter what. That alone is the greatest factor in your ability to throw farther. You got this! 💪
Greetings from Thailand... slowing working back throwing..
Great video, talking about how life sometimes gets in the way of training, most of us have to work so fitting in the time for training can be exhausting in itself - but we do it because we love to throw.
Seamus, definitely an Irish name. Are you US based ?
@@ciaranfitzgerald4575 Hi Ciaran, no I'm UK based, I clocked you name too. Our son is also called Kieran, but the English version rather than the Irish, marriage is all about compromise!!!!!
@@seamusmcevoy2011 Very good, I know all about compromise. I throw in the O55 comps, are you doing any ?
@@ciaranfitzgerald4575 Yes I've been competing for years, initially as a 400m hurdler, I ran for Ireland back in the 80's and 90's at that distance, then when I turned 50 I decided to take up throwing. I love the training for throwing and the fact that I don't get injured anywhere near as much as I did when I was hurdling.
Dude, i swear that I've thrown in that ring before, with all of those trees behind it. Where is that?
Mast sir
I just started track and field any advice for disc-us if I have like a little upper body strength?
