YOUTH COACHES- I am curious about the left-handed young boy at 2:10 in the video..he had reasonable technique, but his release appeared to be somewhat line drive, low....I am just starting to volunteer with a local club, with beginners in the 10-11 age group range- and they release flat, line drive...is that very typical of very young athletes? Should I ignore it and continue to hone their form and all the other body positions, and trust that as they get older/taller/stronger, they can then aim for the "head up chin up eyes up" optimal angle of release? Does anyone know of any other videos that might show a young girl, so my beginner girls have someone in their "peer group" to emulate and look at, for technique examples?
When I was a younger athlete, I had the same problem of releasing very flat. I've also noticed that many younger athletes tend to release with a flat angle. I've found that this occurs because younger athletes are still developing, technically and physically, meaning that they will have trouble handling the shot put and strength in releasing it.
What do YOU think about the NON REVERSE? Is it even worth doing? Let's talk 👇
Nice breakdown
Thank you! Gald it helped 💪
Ryan gonna break 23.12 in these two years, he is powerful enough
No doubt in our mind 💪
And he did with a huge margin
