Sean are you available for private training? My daughter is a Div1 thrower...first year throwing weight - only throwing it 4 months. Can hit 16.8 consistently but can throw 19M but fouls every throw?
Great video. Putting on my structural engineer hat, you got all the mechanics spot on. I'm a masters thrower, been throwing the weight for 10 years, but have not been ever able to get an effective pitch start to work for me, hence I wind, even the 56# superweight. A video showing how to get an effective pitch (or bump) start would be fantastic.
Great stuff Sean, thanks for the tips. Making a comeback after a 30 yr lay off for the Masters next year ( nudging 57 yrs old) I throw the weight throw for the first time ever 2 weeks ago, threw 17.85 m then on the 3rd throw tripped and broke 2 ribs. Just makes me more motivated to kick this things arse next time and your tips will go a long way.
The winds do provide the horizontal velocity component (actually the only chance a thrower has to develop horizontal velocity) to the horizontal+vertical velocity compendium that makes the release velocity. During the turns, velocity development is by far on the vertical. Therefore, the winding or preliminary phase should be better appreciated.
Us Irish folk still throw Weight for Distance (one-handed) and Weight for Height, both similar to Highland Games events at provincial and national level. Not exactly the "wammer" that you are talking about but I wish we done that here
Bloody Brilliant Mate - You managed to touch on all 16 of my faults with the Weight Throw - Ive shared this to our throwing group 'The WA Throws Mafia' - great stuff and cheers from 'Down Under'
We throw it in the UK outdoors...especially in throws pentathlons..I'm originally from Michigan. I've just started throwing weight last year...still don't know how to do turns in weight or hammer. So if you don't do the spins yet and only do a standing throw with the weight would you recommend doing it over your head then?
Good stuff Sean.. I enjoy watching your technical analyses and Q&As... I agree with everything you pointed out, but unfortunately I feel like I find myself in the minority, even amongst coaches, on a lot of these points..It seems like the biggest thing I argue with other coaches about is ball path (orbit) progression. I hear it all the time too: "man, if your guys would just get an orbit on that throw, it would go so much further." where my response is normally something along the lines of "It's about ball speed, man. Can't accelerate the ball on a steep ball path."Keep up the good work, and keep these great videos coming!
I just started and I go to the gym but I’m weak at that throw, hurts my ego but I’m wanna learn and get better at it. Our high school only does weight throw and keep saying the hammer throw is for college and I say that’s bullshit and we should practice that instead, because doing the weight throw, yes it’s cool, but it feel unnatural. Man we really need a couch like you in the New York’s Armory, they couches teach beginners the wind up turn on the elbows rather than the spin which is harder, they basically teach us a useless movement
I wish I had this shit (youtube) back in my day. All East IC4A URI 98-99 as So. 58 and change. Was a total what you refer to as a dragger, totally two turn muscled it out there with crap technique. You make so much sense I subbed and might start that masters competing as I'm an old man now. I just wish I knew this stuff back then. Keep laying on the knowledge brother. Also are you familiar with Jake Freeman NYAC? Threw against him in HS before he became a beast. Go get the US some medals, it seems like the US is definitely getting better as I seem to see numerous 250ft Hammer throwers now. Back then it was Deal and that's it. Dude this zen shit is like crack, keep making these. Thank you much.
@@SDthrows Ty for your replies, real last name Abilheira. Might as well give you the real name in appreciation for the knowledge bombs. I will be rooting for you and your team. Although I must say I favor Hammer, with women's high jump and pole vault next ;) I'm sure the gophers had better than URI and damn did we have some good ones. I loved Indoor practice, our circle had the Pole Vault practice area right behind it, if you catch my drift. sorry for the rambling but your series is bringing back some good memories. Those freakin spandex.....damn. TY and I realize how lucky I am to have discovered your channel and your willingness to share this phenomenal information for all throwers! I will try to share with my HS Track coach if I can get a hold of his contact info as I have moved to FL from RI. He is still at my HS I know that and you could be responsible for some future HS state champs. Cheers.
Random Alex soon enough!! Honestly the basic concepts are the same. Some finer points of detail but focus on the foundational concepts I highlight in this video and you’ll be off to a great stat

Could you critique a video or two for me today? I have my conference meet Saturday and I’ve only thrown 14.27 in weight but I have days in practice where throw mid 16s in practice. I can feel my capabilities and potential not being met by coach and I really would like to know what I can do that would help me reach my potential.
The winding phase is the only opportunity the thrower has to develop horizontal velocity as far as the implement itself. During the turns, speed development is mostly on the vertical. Therefore, since the release velocity is a combination of vertical AND horizontal velocity, the role of the winds cannot be underestimated. That is, taking it too easy during the wind (s) may not be a good idea.
Για σου Sean βλέπω τα βίντεο σου είναι πολύ ενδιαφέρον.θεωρο ότι έχεις πολύ ενδιαφέρον. Και ότι τα 77.80 πο ου έχεις ρίξει μπορουνε να γίνουνε από από τα 80.00 μέτρα παρά πολλές στροφές σωστά να στρίβεις επάνω στο αριστερό πόδι και να τελειώνεις την σφύρα επάνω στο αρισ

Tom Sputo I’ll add that to the idea bank!
Even 5 years after your video still helpling thanks to you my understanding of hammer throwing increase keep going and sharing !!!😊
rekindled my throwing by career by throwing weight in masters division, this is a great refresher and resource
good, glad you enjoy! have some fun with it!

Great video. I find myself agreeing with every single point you've made, which is rare. I'll definitely be sharing this with other throwers.
thank you haha i appreciate it!
I enjoy your non BS way of coaching. I’m trying to teach a couple of freshman the hammer event. Excellent video.
ACE Sports thank you!

thanks man! i appreciate it. yeah, unfortunately we are the minority. Hopefully we'll see a shift in technical models over next few years

Great video Sean .
Where is part 3?
great video shared it with the rest of my team that throws weight
thanks Ian! I appreciate it!
Hello sir i am 14 years old i throw 4kg hammer to 56mts i want the practice program and how many throws should i throw daily.
I need a video for foot work
plenty of videos out there already but one day I'll make one of my own
@@SDthrows thanks my I got my coach to post this video in a discord for all of my high schools fellow throwers.
This is great stuff. I think it'll even help my coach out!
haha i hope so! thats the goal!
hahahahahahaha nice one terry!
Please we need a "HOW TO THROW HAMMER LIKE A F&*KIN BOSS (hammer throw technique)"

Hi uncle sean hope to see you soon-Layla Gould
Great video very informational 😀✌
Bakhtawar Sidhu thank you!
love you uncle sean I miss you Love LAYLA
Sean, when you are throwing the weight, are you actively thinking about moving the weight out to the left? Also, not sure if you have ever tried, but what would you guess your PR would be with a two turn weight and a sling start. Thanks and loved the video
Mike rodgers yep all the time, always trying to get it more left. And probably 20m or so
Bruh.......great video
Floyd Turner thank you!! I appreciate it!
how do you get more weight over your left side? I can’t break my habit of crashing on turns 3 and 4
Noah Bultman use your right leg and let the ball take you over there
Could you critique a video or two for me today? I have my conference meet Saturday and I’ve only thrown 14.27 in weight but I have days in practice where throw mid 16s in practice. I can feel my capabilities and potential not being met by coach and I really would like to know what I can do that would help me reach my potential.
De Angelo Meredith if you can, email me at sdonnelly757@gmail.com!
Sean Donnelly I emailed you earlier today but I don’t know for sure if the email sent. It says it did
Are there any benefits at all to winding the weight
sure
The winding phase is the only opportunity the thrower has to develop horizontal velocity as far as the implement itself. During the turns, speed development is mostly on the vertical. Therefore, since the release velocity is a combination of vertical AND horizontal velocity, the role of the winds cannot be underestimated. That is, taking it too easy during the wind (s) may not be a good idea.
FYI You still haven’t made a hammer video like this
it's on the to-do list for this year
Love u miss u love LAYLA
What is tossin sauce and tough skin? And what does that do?
ajhamp96 it’s tacky, helps your grip so you can relax your arms
Alright so I got my tacky but I realized that it has no instructions. Do I place it on my bare hands or the weight glove?
ajhamp96 I put some on both my glove and my hand but not too much. Experiment and play around with what works best for you
Thank you sir
Where did you find the footage at 6:45 ?

Eric Meyer 😂😂😂 someone’s gotta do it
@@SDthrows Heard. 👍👊
What do you say to the people who say weight helps hammer
Jackson Gibbon sure, it’s a possibility. Just hard to do it right
Ok thanks. Great video
