Bowman Discus Throw Off Season Training (07-08)

This is a combination of videos I shot while I trained in the Fall of 2007 preparing for the NAIA National Championships in May 2008 and for the USA Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon. Video also includes some elite throwers like Kanter, Alekna, Rome, Waltz, and John Powell.

when i was 15, I got 5th in my country - without a coach, 1st in my region at 17- without training. AND because i'm left handed, makes it difficult to find one..after playing semi pro rugby for couple of years ive damaged my right knee, 10 years later im wiping the dust off the discus and hope to compete at competition level. once again. my rugby career in tatters i hope to make something out of this...maybe a medal, who knows,,,,G-d willing...

@llevijr Good luck with your discus journey. Throwing the discus has changed my life for the better and I cannot think of a better way to honor God with your gifts!

I threw discus in highschool and I was ok. I never had a discus coach so I had to learn on my own. I loved discus alot back then. This might sound sad but, discus was the only thing I can remember that I trained on my own time and took the steps to try to make me a better thrower. I look back and I could of trained much harder especially with weightlifting. I'm 30 now and I'm wondering are there any good discus throwers today over 30? As you can hopefully tell John, you have inspired mew/ ur vid

[johnbowman70]

@archy2frank2 I can totally relate with you in your love to throw the discus. There is something amazing about the event. To answer your question there are a lot of discus throwers that throw at a world class level who are over 30 years old. I have been told that a discus thrower does not peak until they are around 30 years old.

@kofurt lol only 110 to make states that doesnt even qualify for my section. where are u from?

[KILLERMATTT]

Man this is an awesome video. I just started track this year and hoping to do some sprinting events, until I pulled my Quad. Coach recommended discus, since I was tall, and had a good upper body. At first I thought it was the stupidest sport, until i learned the techniques, and saw how skilled this could be. In the 2 week of practice, I was easily matching the Seniors, while I was still throwing standing, and them spinning. The Lord was trying to lead me in the direction that I needed to be

im 15 and im a disc and shot thrower my pr is 82.4ft from a stand throw that was for my freshmen year i went into track thinking i was crazy it was not something i planned but as soon as i started throwing i loved it. I hope to make to to state my junior year if not this year. ive been told that my coach is ranked on of the best in the state. i need 110ft to make it to state. any advice?
