Nice video thanks. I think a better car analogy is trying to break a speed record within a given distance ( or within a given rotation, 360). e.g. Say racing on a drag strip or a salt flat before you run out of distance. Its not the shortest time or who finishes first that matters... its who achieves the highest speed at the finish line wins (achieving the highest launch speed of whatever you are throwing ). Its the aggregated 'acceleration' over a given rotational distance that matters. I think that you can only effectively apply the torque to accelerate rotationally while both feet are planted, so if you are doing that big wide leg rotation, you aren't effectively accelerating your rotational speed during that time... its mostly wasted time.. I think maximizing time when both feet are on the floor is the key.... Which matches up with your comments about moving the foot through quickly..... does that sound right ?
Sir, I'm 5'7 tall and maximizes the discus circle area when doing 360 throws. My question is if its ok to do 360s within that size of track? Is it still be okay for me to do 360s in that full area with my size?
Jhon Kenneth Manalo yes. Use as much of the circle as possible. As long as your form is good and you continue to make improvements it doesn’t matter how tall you are.
This is too linear an approach. The right foot is not rotating enough in the middle. The proper approach is somewhere in the middle of rotational (wide) approach and the bringing of the knees closer together. I teach wide first and then bring it in some.
The right foot rotates 270 degrees once it touches down in the middle of the circle. From 3:00 all the way around to 6:00. In this video the focus was the left foot and increasing speed by improving its path from the back of the circle to the front of the circle.

Your techniques gave me gold 🥇 medeal in state compition
Your goated, what did you end up throwing
Great return to basics... Nice refocus of your excellent technique.
Robert Santos thank you
Thanks 🙏🙏
I am from India
Very nice 👍
Very nice Guru for throwers☺😊🤗😇🤗😇🙃
💪 Thanks for this👌
