You seem well able to work out what you need to improve on! Good luck. I coach shot in the UK for kids 9-16. One thing I notice was your left leg needs more kick and speed. You could try and place a medicine ball behind your left foot. The idea is to kick the ball away as you start to glide (imitating without a shot for practice) then use a lighter shot in your hand while practising this excercise.
Thanks for the comment, I actually fixed most of my problems with the glide and my coach said it was 90%down. Pretty much I would have to gain distance by getting faster, stronger, and more flexable. Recently I switched to the roational shot put and I am now throwing 41-42 ft!!:)
@harunshotput Fantastic that's great to hear. Upon converting feet to metres, I worked out that's almost throwing 8m.
You must have developed your speed and strength nicely to be able to start rotational shot. I have a 15 yr old throwing 10.5m from the glide but he's not yet stable in his core or even fast or flexible (trhows on true grit brut force!) but I am working on him. :) Keep it up!
