“Do that again”… this made me smile because I use that same line all the time with my kids. Some of them, I’ll just look at them and ask them “What am I going to say?” and they know.
Nice video as always Coach. I’ve seen enough of yours that I recognize a lot of the technical pieces, but this was another fresh way to bring them up. Thank you.
Thanks! So many kids have similar issues and sometimes a coaching session is time to figure out a way to explain it so they understand it. Eli is super talented. Very coordinated and makes adjustments very fast. Wish I had more Eli’s throwing javelin.
@@coachhalley Kids like Riley make coaches look good. 😂
@@gerrylamontagne2214 very true!
Excellent content as always. You mentioned that Duncan Atwood trained you. He was a fenomenal thrower with a peculiar style. Watching your videos I would have said that your inspiration was Steve Backley. By the way, my coach's technical role model was Tom Petranoff, Atwood’s eternal rival.
You read me well! I was fortunate to work with a handful of coaches in college. Tom Petranoff was one of them. Each coach gave me a new perspective or a slightly different take on throwing and coaching. Duncan opened my eyes to looking and thinking about throwing technique differently more than everyone else. I’ve got huge respect for all of them even though everyone has a different approach and perspective on things. Would love to meet Steve Backley. I could probably converse with him for hours and hours. My style of throwing is heavily influenced by his style. I do take good bits from a bunch of different throwing styles though.
@@coachhalley Agree, Backley is pure elegance and precission. I also can see a bit of Nemeth’s style in your throwing, specially in the idea of flying in the penultimate step in order to prepare the throw.
Sir, my javelin always falls straight, the forward tip does not stick. 😢

Great video !
However my coach didn't tell me the same thing concerning the Hop. He told me to stay my feet as low as possible but to go quick between my right and left leg. What do you think ?
You only need to hop up enough to be ready and able to hit the right to left. Too high and long is problematic. Everything has a point of diminishing returns. 👍🏻
Great video! Do you ever get to coach older age groups?
I do coach masters throwers, Paralympic athletes, elementary and middle school athletes, and elite level. The majority of my athletes are high school and college age though.
Hi! You have explained this countless times but I'm still confused. When I look at Olympic throwers they have elbow in line with a shoulder joint. Bend elbow. It so confusing. They look almost like pitchers elbow bend 90 or so degrees insane layback with spine and shoulder like 135 degrees back - no straight arm. Here 0:01 too - elbow inline with a shoulder joint no straight arm. Most throwers throw that way but when you discuss exercises you emphasize that arm is almost straight to prevent elbow load. th-cam.com/video/BSMDBf60spc/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/BSMDBf60spc/w-d-xo.html are very pitcher looking positions in regards to elbow. No critique - I really don't understand. I'm an amateur throwing javelin for fun and this elbow topic is just so confusing, can you please comment on this - why there is so striking difference between exercises with towel etc. and actual throwing motions. Thank you for your videos and honestly I don't know how is that I still can't understand this despite you've explained this all in a such detail. To make things worse Thomas Röhler says almost exactly the same things as you in regards to elbow safety and technique - elbow above the ear level, more of shoulder involvement, over the top... and when I look him actually throw he bends elbow in line with the shoulder joint and looks like a pitcher. Mb I'm seeing it wrong or something. Eh...
I think the key is being loose/relaxed and not tensing up during the throw. The elbow will always have a bend. I don’t advocate straight. The direction of the hand during the throw matters as well. Also, some people are way more flexible than others and some folks can handle the load pretty well. Even at elite levels elbow injuries occur. I certainly don’t have a universal answer. I have however spent a lot of time working on my own elbow form as well as working with athletes with elbow issues. Long and relaxed seems to do the trick so far. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to write a very thoughtful comment!! I’ll work on a specific elbow video in the future for sure.
@@coachhalley Thank you for answer! That's a really good point - I should take caution imitating elite/other throwers they may be much more flexible and have different parameters than me. I'll focus on relaxed approach to channel energy from front foot plant to move up. Thank you for your videos again. Have a nice one!
how often at practice should i be putting 100% into the throw
Just my opinion but very very very rarely. Practice should be training, developing skills and learning. In some cases I would put my athletes under pressure to perform like in a fake competition scenario but even then I wouldn’t encourage them for a 100% throw.
