Shot put videos

what might help is when your practicing get someone to hold a broom out a little further than your sweep is curently, and work on tryin to kick then broom, focus on tryin to keep both feet as close to the surface as possible. also on some of your fulls you looked like you were startin your spin with your upper body off the back which is causing you to lean off the back which doesn't let you get any seperation until your middle phase if you can keep your upper body behind your legs throughout your entire throw it'll help alot try workin on alot of just 360degree spins and try to begin the spin with just your lower body its also a good drill to work on getting your sweep low and wide. also your over rotating on a few throws in your middle phase and thats mostly because your left is hangin in the air too long if you can get your left down quicker you'll have better position in the ring and you won't get pushed back by the shot near as much.....so yeah and pretty sure i just ramble off a novel i hope it helps you out some, I don't claim to know alot but i think these things might help spencer or Quint could probably help you alot more they know things lotsa things

They're both right. The left arm just look awkward. As far as lower body goes, the feet do need to be a little lower. You have a GREAT move off the back, to the middle, but the right is too high. This causes two things; over rotation and a hanging left. Your body want to keep things on a plane, and when the right enters too high, the left will come around too high. Basically you are starting you finish on one leg, this is why its hard to get out over the toe board. The left has to be down for the right to vault over, causing that perfect mix of vertical and linear power!!! You can see clearly where the left gets down late/too far in your comp throws. This is one of those thing you have to feel work before it really clicks. One other thing I noticed was a very vertical axis. The shot does not have much orbit. When you try to get up on it at the finish, the shot wants to stay with the orbit it started with and you loose some velocity... But it definitely looks like you know what you're doing and chances are you know what you're doing wrong. The speed of the entire thing is great, and the push of the back is good too (just a hair too far across). Well you probably stopped reading halfway through this, but I hope it goes good for you!!!

What were you hitting anyway?!?

I think spencer was sayin that maybe if you got a little lower off the back your shot would take more of a low to high path rather than high to high your trajection is probably good but you can put more power into it if your shot takes a low to high path

Great effort Hapy. I really enjoyed watching the video. My only critique is that YOU DID ALL THAT WITHOUT CALLING ME TO TRAIN WITH YOU OR GO TO THE MEET! Seriously Bro, I would love to get into some of that action. Looks like something to get into for next winter.

Awesome Hapy. When you are on the way down let me know and we can hit the lifts. I will send you a pm with my cell and home phone. May 8th likely wouldn't work for me but some dates later this summer would. At the very least we could get some meets this summer. Karl Wallen, the prior Dartmouth throws coach is a friend of mine and he can get us into their training facilities and give us coaching as well. I think he coached some guy named Nelson who was a pretty good shot putter.

Dude you look way too young to be a master,
i think you are fine, you just need to do thousands of
practice throws to get the right movement, I know, a job,
mortgage family etc, well don't think about it too much,
just keep throwing and enjoying and you will improve and
improve,
lean over the left at the back, move across the circle
slowly and in a controlled manner, and get over the left
leg again at the finish.
