Have you been watching my athletes practices. A psychic.
😂😂😂😂
yes sir watching
@@johnbowmandiscus hey man i have a problem in my discus technique my hand goes down while throwing discus please help me?
Hey thanks man! I'm in 8th grade and I just started throwing a few weeks ago. Our school doesn't put too much effort into coaching throwers, so I've gotten ALL of my training from you. Thanks to you, I ended up improving my PR by 24 ft. in 3 days (I got 114' 7" today). Thanks and good luck on your journey!
Wow! That is great Thomas! I'm glad my videos are helping! #MOVETHEMARK

hey whats your PR now?
@@birdseyepeas9815 now I’m a junior in high school, and I’ve thrown 126 with the heavier discus. I also throw around 40 feet in shot. I think it could have been higher by now if not for covid cancelling my freshman season
@@tommyromanowski I legit do the same as u
To answer your question: I’m a second year thrower. Discus last year was dreadful. Doing better this year, but right now I’m trying to work on keeping my chest up throughout the throw. I drop my chest and then don’t get enough elevation on the throw
This was so nicely explained and shown!! Thank you John, hoping to qualify this year 🙏
Great stuff John!
This actually helped. I no longer do the crunch because I’ve started spinning but I still wind up going down. Thank you for the tip on keeping it straight bro
You're welcome!
Fabulous tutorial
Thanks stuff john!
This is my 3rd year throwing. I’ve now been working on firing myself down the middle of the ring and keeping my left arm parallel to the ground. Thanks for the tips !
I just recently became a throws coach for the first time and I found this video extremely helpful, thank you!
I need to learn how to spin
Train Station it’s pretty simple after you throw a few times then you just have too work on speed technique and power
This will help my spin alot!
Your videos are easy to understand.
Clear audio, less technicalities.
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Diving in as a masters thrower and I’m currently working on staying patient with my upper body to hold separation. Hard to fight the urge to throw with the upper and tough learning how to stay active with my right foot. Humbling and very enjoyable! Goal is 50m!
thanks you really helped my throws
Helps a lot! Keep it up bro🙂
my first discus instructional and loved the sequence of body parts movement
like punching in boxing, head initiates (dead giveaway for the opponent), hips, then back then finally shoulder ...
forgot to say thanks
It's cool to see how so many sports are related. I guess that makes sense when we understand how the human body works to create power! Thanks for the comment!
I watched your video last night and changed up my whole form to fix these problems today. I now improved my 95pr to 114! Thank you for the advice
Wow you must be really coachable keeping paying attention to detail!
this guy is a good teacher
Your videos are really awesome. I have improved 15 feet since starting to watch you. Thank you for everything
I started watching in March of 2019
Awesome! I'm glad the videos are helping!!!
Love you from India 🇮🇳, doing nice work for atheletes like me who does not how much facilities. Appreciations 🤗🤗
Thanks Sir🙂
The videos are great! My son has thrown for 3 years now and currently in 8th grade. He's hitting 112' but needs work on his spin. Since I'm not there to watch him practice enough it's hard helping him fine tune. I'm thinking that I want him to start back at basics with his power throw and 180 and hit the fundamentals . Hes resistant even though he knows his spin is far from adequate. I think this would help him in the long run. Thoughts? Also from Syracuse, Indiana here. Glad to see a Hoosier on here.
Bro this helps im the only 7th grade boy thrower on my team so I have been watching you to help there really aren’t that many coaches at my school
Love the new Intro
Thank you!!!
Thanks bro
Thanks for working on this
You're welcome! Glad to do it 👍
I'm a beginners thanks a lot it really helps.
Thank u sir
All the things you said not to do I’m doing lol thanks for the tips
Good job man my full turn need a bit of fixing but it's ok
Thank youuuu
God Bless Everyone
I always seem to do bad on getting my body to turn fully around before I get into the the power position, getting my left foot around and getting my body to spin around. Any tips?
I just threw at IWU for my TRC in high school. It’s my first year and I threw a new PR 103’8
Sir pls make video on Glide techniques because I am not unable to stable my self while releasing the shot put
If your reading this my school coach said it would help to go as low as you can (essentially crunching) what should I do?
Well, bad technique is bad technique no matter who's telling you to do it. In the most respectful way possible, I would try to explain to your coach why crunching is not a good way to throw and explain what and why you want to change it.
Nice sir
When throwing discuss which part do you have to practice more
While rotation should we kick or just simply swing our right leg
Just started last week I threw 83 feet and beat my middle schools record so I am working on everything these video's help.
good vedio
Im working on placing my left foot in the right spot during the last spin in the rotation
Awesome!!! that will help a lot!
John I am a 73 year old male. I was the high school discus coach at Mandeville High School. I getting back in shape to compete in the Senior Olympics . I get to throw the 1k for my age bracket. My son threw at Texas Tech, with Julian Wruck . All by students are making me throw, but I am looking forward to actually throwing. The meet is October 15 2022. My goal is a front throw of 100 ft. My son will not let me spin./ LOL Thanks for these good back to the basis throwing. Thanks Coach Smith
It's cool that you are throwing again! Good luck in October at the Senior Olympics! 💪
It's difficult to see a transfer of power from the legs coming from a turning and rotation of the hips. You get that in baseball, but you've also got a shift in weight. I guess when we're just isolating the last part of the throw, though, it's tough to see the first couple of parts come into play and maybe provide that transference we can't see as easily in the last part, though.
नाईस सर
Working one of my athletes, he starts off the back of the ring with his left shoulder causing him for fall in. Im having him focus on keeping his left arm inside his left arm as long as he can through out the throw
Yes, that is a good place to start. Also have him keep his left foot turning out of the back all the way until it faces the throwing sector. This will help him keep his left arm inside his left leg/knee.
Super Bhai
Sir.. how make the rotation perfect....??
Im 6 feet 3 and 240 pounds. I wanna join the discuss team but im scared Ill suck. Any thoughts??
Super
My biggest tissue is getting my left foot down at the front of the circle in the right spot while staying balanced. I always end up having my feet squared and then my throw will go right and it wont have as much torque as I want it to. Do you know how I can try to fix that.
Good question. My guess is that your foot in the middle needs to turn more. Once it makes contact with the ground it needs to start turning and it needs to keep turning all the way until the discus leaves your hand.
Whenever I throw discuss instead of going straight it flip and flip and then fall on the ground. What can I do to make it straight?
I think I release the discuss in a wrong way.
yes.....the crunchers!!!
sir what is the height of a good discus thrower
How do we toil
I really need help on aiming the discus, I can throw it far but I just can’t get it to stay in the zone
Hello sir iam from small village of India I started throwing in 2019oct but due to leg injury I was at home for 4months after that lockdown begin .know I started again in this 2021 iam confuse that what schedule i should follow so please make a video on a proper schedule for high school thrower

John my throwers are slipping in the ring because it has never been cleaned before. How do I clean the ring to make it non-slippery again?
You can scrub it with dish soap and water or in extreme cases you can clean it with Muriatic Acid
Two points- attacking the front of the circle and deciding on a reverse. I throw but I don't feel like I'm "gripping and ripping it" at the front but just throwing it. Sometimes I can feel a powerful surge or whip at the release and it sails (I know it's done well because I feel it in my elbow) but most times I just throw. Second point is my reverse- most throwers either non-reverse or full reverse. For some reason I do neither. After I throw, I continue pivoting on my left leg, swinging my right leg around and back into the circle. I don't know if it's a good way to do it or not.
I know what you are talking about with the reverse. I do that occasionally in practice. It means that you don't fully "block" at the front. But I wouldn't worry to much about it. just keep putting your left foot down hard and fast at the front and the reverse will take care of itself. 👍
Questions I make all theese mistake the coach at my school says that we half to bend like that to get the disk to go farthet but when I throw the disk his way I mess up every time and only hit between 50 and 60 I know I can do better than that. So here is my question how do I fix all my mistake if I have been doing it wrong for two years? Plus to help my teammates get better to.
You can fix old habits. Some people may say it's not possible, but I disagree. If you continue to learn about throwing and practice regularly while trying to improve your technique, you will build new habits and throw farther. I believe you can make the changes you need to!!! 💪
Middle school coach here. I commonly see the crunching down issue when coaching kids who have a baseball or softball background. Especially baseball.
Watching this the night before sports day and the whole house counting on you because they haven’t won since 1961 😖
Do you have anything like this for shot and javelin?
Nope, just discus at this point
Hi, I am 43 years old female, I have just started to learn disc throw.
I am 5ft tall is my hight good for this sport .
How can i contact you
Answer to the question of the day😁: - 'am trying to avoid jumping in the middle of the cirlce and trying to prevent upperbody lead in the middle. Tried too many drills but still as it is😐😓😓😶
Thanks for the comment! And I understand how you feel. It can take a long time to see progress in your technique. Just promise yourself that you'll keeping working on it. I believe you will figure it out 💪
Is 122 ft good for a 1st year 13 year old????
Absolutely!!! I only threw about 90 feet when I was 13
My PR is 58 and I’m 16 lmao my shot put is almost as far at 46 feet
Wyatt Mammen I’m 14 and I throw 140 ft what grade r u in?
My name is Hadley, I am practicing a spin techniques in discus and shot put
0 dislike awesome
spinning and release
Hey I lean forward when I spend and it causes me to scratch, I don’t know how to fix it, can anyone help?
Hey, that's a pretty common problem for us discus throwers. Trying keeping your chest up in a straight line over your hips for the entire throw. When your upper body is directly over your lower body you will be on balance and will scratch less. 👍
Hello sir
AZ throwers wyaaa
Would you do a Technical Analysis for me?
Yes, you can purchase on on my website at bowmanthrows.com/video-analysis
John Bowman Thank you 😊
Interesting is the high spin discus is the most accurate for me.
Yeah, just throw which ever discus flies the best.
That’s what I do is I drop the arm. I end up throwing it almost straight up
I can relate. That's how I threw too.
John Bowman this video helped I kept the arm from dropping and got a pr at the last meet of the year so now I get to go to sectionals
Cool channel, content. I also dream of a disc, and I also have a RUclips channel.
Comment your pr
Actually I have a video of my last track meet on my RUclips. If you have a second to watch the video and comment how I could improve I would greatly appreciate it. It starts off with my doing shot put my the last video segment is my discus
I’m in 7th grade and my average throw is only 89.6 😢 my best is 95
Techinqu in tamil
I just spin out of control
Are there any competitions a 40 year old can train for and enter? God I miss this event....
Some dude threw a 170 at my meet today...i throw an 80
Wow, that’s a ridiculous throw. 80 is still a good throw! The same thing happened to me 2 years ago when I was throwing 60 and someone threw 140. Keep up the hard work and you’ll be able to break 100! You got this!
I was only able to go to one meet last season (March 2020) and I managed to throw 95’6”. However, due to the pandemic, I haven’t thrown nearly as much but hopefully I’ll be able to break 100’ this season but I’m really rusty at the moment.
@@jasonmiller5510 yeah the guy was a senior in highschool
@@dakosyoutube6232 That was the same thing in my case. He was a senior and I was a freshman.
Meet tomorrow bois, shot, disc, and hammer. lets get this bread
I've got a meet tomorrow too! Let's do this 💪
@@johnbowmandiscus Nice! Your video should help me a lot because I have no real experience with the discus so far.
@@matthewgeary7999 yeah, just keep the discus wide and stay tall! Good luck 👊
@@johnbowmandiscus Good luck to you too!
this disc looks so little in his hand bahaha
Mugs too expensive.
He has extremely feminine eyes
