I am a new fan and a new thrower and your vids are the BEST!! You explain concepts so clearly. THANKS!
Love it! Welcome to the javelin community!
Thank you so much
How did the competition go?
My fav grip😍..... Thanks coach for everything you did for me
Thanks! Happy to help!
Had another meet today and only threw 75. I’m just regressing but it feel like I’m throwing with only my upper body and not my hips. At the point of release, my shoulders tilted and I’m looking down. How do i fix this?
Probably my favorite video for this. Range of motion starting from the hips and into the shoulders: th-cam.com/video/H0MiISHC2ao/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Thanks for the video coach. I checked your online course I must say I find it a bit expensive. I'm not doubting about the quality but for that price I would have expected a workout program included or something like that.
Just giving my feedback, appreciate everything you do.
I seriously appreciate the feedback! I try to be a technical focused coach as most other courses cover workouts but very little technical instruction. I also think generic workouts for the masses are not very specific to the athlete so I stay focused on technique. As far as cost, it is unique in the world of javelin. Hopefully the market will help me determine a final price. It’s not set in stone at this point.
Fork grip thumb needs to move to the side, not across the cord....just saying.
The fork grip was made popular by Boyd Brown (University of Oregon). He had part of his thumb cut off in a farming accident. goducks.com/honors/hall-of-fame/boyd-brown/46
@@coachhalley I knew that too...I use to train with Mark Murro former American record holder 300ft 91.44m in 1970. He told me to not bring the thumb over the cord, but place it on the side allowing a better release of the spear. BTW I enjoy your videos, very informative.
@@mikechapman7501Thanks! I have had fork grip folks give me different advice through the years. I threw with it for a short time in college when my index finger was dislocating (originally a basketball injury that the Finnish grip made worse). I gripped it as you describe with the top of the cord more towards the end of my fingers to fit my thumb on the side. I was later instructed to bring it deeper into my hand and place the thumb over the grip, since the thumb doesn’t fit on the side with that deeper position. Either way, I really appreciate your perspective!!
