Shot Put Glide Analysis 04 [Video]



This is not actually one of my athletes.  I've known and my guys have thrown against him for 4 years now.  He works really hard but has never had a throws coach so I help him out when I can.  It's probably a stupid idea as he's technically at a rival school but he's a good guy.

Only one thing I can point out in this video.  At the beginning I mention an embarrassing comparison.  After I published it on youtube I realized it was a pretty lame joke and comes across like I'm making fun of the girl thrower.  The joke I was trying to do was saying I that I was comparing him to a girl.  The girl thrower has the NYS shot (discus, weight and hammer records, I think...) state record.  I would put her name but I can't fathom how to spell her last name and I'm too lazy (tired it's 4:30am right now) to google it myself.

The major point of emphasis in this video and what I'd like to make clear for everyone is, when you are watching glide videos on youtube keep in mind how tall they are compared to you.  If you are a 5'1" girl, your feet will naturally be in different placement than someone like David Storl who is 6'6".  Different body types will throw different ways.
