Thank you. Keep watching!

Sounds great. Keep watching my videos as I need to get another 995 hours of video watch time to meet the TH-cam earning requirement!

Glad you liked it!

Hello

Great tips for all throwers.

What's your user name on X?

@@Throws_Coach_Nels its bhupend17237896 , put @ before it

I threw 173ft at 18 years old. I am now 19 and have throw over 180 but not officially yet

One thing I was going to say about the orbit of mine is, I keep it flat on purpose. Whenever I rise it I end up scooping a lot rather than getting it out

@@maxkruk8928 th-cam.com/video/UEwztRr86Jo/w-d-xo.html maybe this video will help. I think a low to high discus orbit can also cause a wobbly flight.

Thank you. Keep watching!

@@Throws_Coach_Nels no not me, that’s some else 👍

Well done that is a big throw 👍

The world record is 41.02 for 11 year old throwing 1kg. If that’s a 1kg you beat the record 🎉🥳

@@joethrows9427 Yes, I know, on September 22, he will turn 12, and we need to prepare for new results. We need to increase the strength in the bench press; for now, I can only bench press 55 kg for one rep.

Keep at it!

You're so welcome!

@@Throws_Coach_Nels hi, we did a session this morning working on a few of those things. Mainly the stuff at the back of the circle, trying to turn the left foot to facing the front, trying to get the left foot over the knee, leaving the right leg behind more and swinging it wider around the back. I made a short video on it. Thanks for your help. 😁

@@joethrows9427 Great! It's early but any improvement in distance?

@@Throws_Coach_Nels not yet on the distance but I didn’t throw any sector fouls. Normally I will throw a few out the right sector but I didn’t do that at all so I’m really happy that has helped 🙂

Great!

I'm gonna finally make a video analysis of your last video

@@Throws_Coach_Nels wow thank you. I am training this afternoon so I can upload a new one tonight if that helps 🙂

It does look a little early to me too.

I like having the throwers try these different techniques and see which one works for them.

Thanks

😁Thanks Coach! You've got a lot of great videos on your channel also.

@@Throws_Coach_Nels thank you. Do you have any advice what I should be working on? My focus has been trying to get my left foot down quicker at the front

@@joethrows9427 Wait so those are your videos on your TH-cam Channel? Your technique is excellent! You're hitting all the positions really well. Try and post some with the camera at 9:00 looking at 3:00. One thing I saw is try to fully extend your left block leg at the finish.

@@Throws_Coach_Nelsyes that is me and thank you for answering me. I will work on that with my left leg, I think that has been a problem since I started doing reverse back in April or May. I will get my mum to help me with camera that you said to do and post it on my channel. Thank you so much

Thanks!

Welcome!!

Bonjour, I'm Coach Nels. Thank you for subscribing to my channel. I also have a Twitter "X account at x.com/nelsph0119. You have had a successful competing and coaching career. I don't coach anyone in person currently and just offer tips to anyone that wants to DM me videos to my Twitter account. This has allowed me to help more people throughout the world than I ever cold have working at a local school or university. I use www.kinovea.org/ for video analysis. Au revoir

Welcome Coach! I had no idea I had subscribers from so many places I've never visited. In an interview David Storl said he's trying to get his right knee to the front of the circle by traveling the greatest distance he can horizontally. At least that's how I interpreted it. So, in addition I think of the forward knee drive 2 ways. One I think of it like in the javelin. You want the right knee to quickly pass through when the bodyweight is passing above. It's effortless. By rolling onto the big toe the knee drops down which drives the right hip forward against the left leg block. Two, I think of the right knee driving forward and staying low like the left knee dropping into the discus circle. That motion creates a tremendous amount of linear drive into the circle. Have someone hold your right arm as you drop in from a South African and you'll probably pull them across the circle. So, with these two examples I'm saying I don't believe you have to think about applying force down and against the ground with your right foot. I also don't think about toe, knee, hip sequence. I think hip, knee toe. Cheers and good luck! -Coach Nels

Here's a video I made a while back showing how I think of hip then knee then toe. th-cam.com/video/cA5lo2GVa8M/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for your quicky reply and for such a detailed explanation! Do keep posting these awesome videos :) What I really like about Storl's technique is that he is so tall in the finish and his legs are close together at the release. My athletes have a tendency to make themselves small and then I show them what Storl looks like at the release and we work to get them to stay tall at the release.

You are most welcome@@leonstuij9540 . I think he's tall at release because he keeps his eyes, chest and head up. Young throwers tend to bend forward at the hips trying to reach far past the toe board which cause the eyes, chest and head to go down making them small and while the arm goes up so they split forces. The top throwers actually don't extend very far past the toe board at release. I'll keep trying to find new topics and make videos and hopefully all my subscribers will find me more subscribers! Thank you!

I need close-up non-grainy video for details! Timmerman was so tall he didn't have to shift into the toe board like Storl. Storl has interviews and technical videos with his coach explaining what he's doing in the ring. I really like Werner, Timmerman etc but I don't as much info but I will analyze Timmerman soon as best as I can with any video I can find but as always it will just just be my interpretation of what I see.

Those videos with the coaches including Alekna's coach Mo are really eye opening. I laughed when Coach Mo said Alekna doesn't think about any of that when he drives into the circle. Makes me rethink that everything we see on competition video isn't intentional! You are definitely paying attention and I see a future biomechanical engineer.

From what I've seen and tried the hip and knee move forward and the right foot seems to just go along for the ride. You can really feel the separation in the knees when thinking of the hip moving forward first instead of driving to the left.

Glad the video helped!

Personally I think you can get a lower angle right leg and drive farther across the circle if you come off the heel plus I like the momentum created from dropping down and dropping the heel as you roll from the toe to the heel. But then Gong pushes off the toe and she won the Olympics. th-cam.com/video/QQd9YjC-mUM/w-d-xo.html

Forty years five + ago I was a 62’ high school thrower who strived to use a Feuerbach-style glide. It was never comfortable trying to leave the back off the heel and turn the right foot in mid-air. It looked good but made me a bit slower than I would have been had I pushed fully off the ball of my foot, quickly tucked the right leg under me, and instantly rotated the foot forward through the power and delivery phases. If you examine the great gliders Timmerman and Storl, this is what they did. Upon reflection I would have likely thrown farther with their technique. The great spin throwers also land in the center on the ball without regard to getting that foot 90 degrees to the line. I was 6’0, 200lbs and relied on speed and an explosive release. I know that a more vigorous push from the back off the ball of my foot would have been more powerful to enable greater speed across and through the circle.

Ramona Pagel came off the toes also but from this view th-cam.com/video/TB9ZYwCCAfI/w-d-xo.html she actually started with her foot pre-turned about 45 degrees. What I see in this video is what I've seen before is that the right leg doesn't fully extend when pushing off from the toes although Gong does fully extend. I once saw a quick video where Dan Pfaff was explaining why it was important to turn the right foot before it leaves the back of the circle. Something about muscles stretching. I like the Zelezny philosophy. "Whichever throws farthest is the best technique".

@@Throws_Coach_Nels indeed. Individual anatomy plays a role as well

You bet Coach. Just DM the video to my Twitter (X) account twitter.com/nelsph0119

My pleasure!

What I'm noticing is reverse throwers rotating the right foot to the front then sliding the foot forward low to the ground and around the left side block. My feeling is they are continuously pulling the discus with the right hip through release which requires the right foot to slide forward.

@@Throws_Coach_Nels i agree, but just a little bit longer r foot on ground would be great, something between rev and nonrev. That was my problem when i threw shot

Obviously this technique works for him tho . He says his height if release is better when he jumps into the throw like that also goes further so whatever works for him

Sure DM me a video on my Twitter (X) at twitter.com/nelsph0119
