Hey Coach, here's a couple items for discussion that apply to both the glide and spin practitioners. There's a RUclips 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 !!
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 🥰
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
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
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.
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.
THANK YOU SIR! I've been nervous bcs I was called to be the representative of our team but I didn't even know the basics! Thank you so much for the video and informations!
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!
Thank you for your videos. My son joined his high school track and field team as a thrower and I had no clue how to help him or anything this helped a ton.
Thank you so much sir I'm from Pakistan and a female I have a tournament coming up which includes Athletics I watched three of your videos that really helped. Jevlin discuss and shotput soon I'll get more races I hope I'll be able to find them here coach. Best teacher👍
Picked up a shot put ball today at an auction. Never done a shot put before. Went to the strippers drank 9 beers got home and was getting around 21 feet. Impressed by the world record. Will be 47 in a few days.
Im and from america and i have never done shot put befor and the only reason i got picked for it (at my school we dont get a choice) is because we didnt have enough throwing but at our first track meet i got first with 20ft. 8in. So im really trying to get better at it so thanks for this video
Trying out for track and field tomorrow and have never once done it in my life and am super nervous. This video has helped so much! Hopefully I can do it!
Thank you very much sir. I've learn a lot from your video .Hope more videos to post so that some athletes would know the proper throw and technique. From Philippines
@@ThrowsCoach thank you I am planning on using this to help me break my record and possibly go to All States for MA, I have already qualified for D1 States in MA.
@@ThrowsCoach how can I send a video through youtube, is it possible to email it to you? Or send it in any other way? I am not as tech savvy as the average highschooler may be..😂
For any one watching trying to get better make sure you throw harder to wear when you throw where you start is where you should finish (never should be facing the front when you get done throwing)
omg thank u i have a school sports thing n today we have shot put rope pulling and javoline n im just doing a little research in the morning so i dont screw up for my house next amma watch vollyball
@throwscoach 👏superb demonstration how far we can throw by stading mode and also with edge of circle? im a beginner and im preparing with a 7.26kg shotput it feels heavy in my hand i can flick only up to 5m only thats to lesser ... im worried 😶😤 pls help me
Actually that's a pretty average throw. I have an average a throw of 160ft with the same weight but I have been doing discus for along time now. So you're doing okay
Hi sir I am vinay reddy from India I watched your intro to shoot put technique it really nice it gave me confidence. Recently I am qualified in Telangana state police written examination , so my next stage of selection process is in 5 stages like 800m in 170 seconds,100m in 15 seconds, high jump of 120cm,long jump of 3.80m and final one shot put 5.60m of 7.26kgs Except shot put I am qualifing in four events out of 5 I am unble to hold 7.26 kg ball properly and throwing 5.60m distance My personal best is 5.30m so I need to improve extra 30cm to qualify Give me some techniques with 7.26 ball and what are exercises to do before throw a shot put Please help me and do the needful Waiting for your reply
Hi Vinay I would suggest you send me a video of yourself throwing the shot put if you can. That would help me make suggests. If you can post it on RUclips that would be great and send me the link where the video is located. Is this something you can do?
Clever young just learn to shot put that iron ball 23-25m and make easy money and life :) No need to study and work at all. I do now 10m lets see if result get better after that great technic advice video.
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!
I am so happy for you Helaine! Awesome. Let me know how things go! Throw far!

THANK YOU SIR! I've been nervous bcs I was called to be the representative of our team but I didn't even know the basics! Thank you so much for the video and informations!

Good I've learnt from you people waiting to practice
I hope the video helped. Stay tuned ... new shot put video in the spring.
First meet is in 3 days I’m in shotput,javlen and discus don’t no how to do any of theme whish me luck
Are you in highschool/middleschool?
This is wat I'm searching for
I want to try shot put is it really hard to do?
Tq sir...And which body workouts
I wanna try new sports and i wanted to do shut put. I hope this helps
Excellent sir .. can you make a video for shortput strengthening exercises
Very helpful for me, thank you 👌👌
Good video... Wondering why you didn't talk much about the angle of throw which is very important. I guess 45 degrees is the optimum one.
I have measured many throws and analyzed top throwers in the world and seems 37-42 degrees seems optimal.
Because... you are not throwing the shot from the surface but from the hand sometimes 2 meters from the surface.
I refered your video i have a big competition next week thanks
@throwscoach 👏superb demonstration how far we can throw by stading mode and also with edge of circle? im a beginner and im preparing with a 7.26kg shotput it feels heavy in my hand i can flick only up to 5m only thats to lesser ... im worried 😶😤 pls help me
Thanks coach.. I'll do my best ..
Thanks so much I love discus and my PB is 103 with a 1.6kg I am a freshman in high school is that a good distance?
Spencer Mintz don’t act like you don’t know that’s good lol
That’s basically impossible Jesus Christ your dumb
Actually that's a pretty average throw. I have an average a throw of 160ft with the same weight but I have been doing discus for along time now. So you're doing okay
oh... ft.
u Americans need to learn to specify...
thank you very much sir
it is very useful for me
