 everybody it's Eric Johnson from Airtay Throws Nation and in today's video we're gonna do is an analysis of Frederick Dockers in a huge 77 meter big throw in Rabot, Morocco just a few days ago. So we wanted to kind of look at the things that make Docker so good and so consistent. Obviously one of the things that he does as we talk about in the throwing chain reaction is he has a very consistent setup. If you look at this throw or any of the throws really throughout the season you'll notice that the beginning and the start he's very comfortable with the discus and as he moves himself into position he kind of goes here with his arm swing he's gonna go what we call is our three position start he's gonna set up the throw he's gonna take a long want pre-wind a long wind and you're gonna notice now one of the things that we say is a little tricky to understand is when we see a throw where we're trying to maintain the centerline at the start of the throw and he does do that you'll see that he has movement here but you're gonna notice the key thing is when he moves the hips he creates a ton of separation and stretch reflex between the hips and that is going to help him create what we refer to as that big pillar too and so as he creates this shift to the left again getting around the left leg is the big key for any throw or so or the entry side so we're gonna notice the length of the entry arm we're gonna notice how the position of the foot is turning ahead it's past nine o'clock so one of the things you're gonna notice too is the weight is forward how he moves right hip with the left foot so as he moves into the throw you're gonna notice that he's really leading and this left side is pulling everything long and into the middle of the circle he's gonna get an incredibly wide sweep you're gonna see that high wide sweep leg knees are out and you're gonna notice that how high the foot is and how level the foot is at this point the position of the knee driving doping down into the throw he's really pushing that knee to the sprint point you're gonna notice that we see the left arm and sweep leg counterbalance and again notice the angle of the body and the disc is back this is what we refer to as pillar three this is where he's applying speed into the throw and this is where we look at the transition so now he's gonna start transitioning from the sprint leg to the middle right the delivery leg and so you're gonna notice this is where the rewrap occurs he's gonna keep the shoulder long and away you can see the high point of the disc is back here and this is the key noticing where he loads and lands he stays on the ball the foot and that knee from this point is just gonna continue to be really pushing ahead of the toe throughout the throw you'll notice that that's another difference when we broke down the Daniel stall so consistent and it's that that constant acceleration and lack of hesitation and you're really starting to see this with dockers over the last couple of seasons now look at how he stays on the right you're gonna notice he lands on the ball he's got that high point here he's got the left arm is really counterbalancing him over the right leg which enables him to keep his chest over the right knee and so at this point you're gonna see how the knee is going to be moving ahead and watch the elevation of the heel so you'll see that the knee and you'll see that the hip are gonna be driving into the throw and the direction that they're going to be facing so as he comes down you'll notice this is what we refer to as pillar 4 and there's 5 we notice the block foot coming flat to the ground the elevation of the delivery leg heel so again that's the push of the knee and the hip into the throw and then you're gonna see how he maintains that heel that foot on the ground pretty through this point through the delivery but he'll elevate whereas stall will keep it down even a bit longer so Frederick keeps the left arm a little wider and again but you're gonna notice the contact at the delivery point both feet are still pretty much on the ground and look where the hip is facing the hip is facing into the sector down this way and that pulls the disc is forward and that's why you see most elite throwers their release is at this point right you're gonna see that right back here he's moving so fast so on this breakdown you're gonna see that the hip is ahead and the shoulders ahead and that's what creates the whipping motion of the discus and you can see it's not the motion of throwing this way he's rotating all the way through so that the discus whips around now let's let's go back and this was what they had called they had initially called it a foul if you look on the throw it's all pretty clean you can see that there was clearly no foul and obviously the video review showed there was no foul and obviously set a new diamond league record so one of the key things again just kind of looking at it and we'll look at it in full speed you'll notice again super quick and we'll go all the way back to the beginning we'll look at it one more time at full speed so we'll just look at that setup watch the control and the comfort with the discus little swing setup and then you're gonna watch him just takes offing nice and consistent throughout the whole throw constant acceleration and again this is the things that we talk about but here's some of the key points we love the counterbalance point here you're gonna see the the left arm and you're gonna see the sweep leg and they start to work because he's so long here the hip again moving with the left side and you'll notice again that left foot is leading ahead is not dropping early if you load the foot with a lot of young thorns or do is load around here then they're trying to get on and turn on a loaded axis the key here is to get the foot around and drive into the throw this is where he creates the sprint you'll notice that line especially back here is where you're gonna see the check the discus is back behind the hip the sweep legs going nice and wide and again this is where in my opinion the throw is really made this is what we refer to as the chain reaction the setup the pillar one two three really enables him to just crush the rest of it now again pillar four five six you have to work all these positions and clearly he's been very disciplined thrower and he and his coach Julian Robinson have done a phenomenal job but the key thing here is he sets up so efficiently and he can enter in the ring so dynamically that when he's going to be landing you're going to see how he's loaded up that knee bend he's got that heel not dropping and again he's able to really accelerate into the throw very dynamic load of the ground through the reverse which is the key you're not seeing a big jump you're seeing everything come through very efficient and this is what people have been kind of talking about for a while he's been hitting 68 meter throws and you can kind of even see his expressions we come on the ring he's not entirely doesn't look like he's as happy as he could be and he just looks like he's missing a little bit on some of those 68 meters in here just looks like he connected a little cleaner through the finish and that's what resulted in a huge PR and world lead so it will be fun to continue to watch him and Daniel Stahl as they compete in Diamond League meets for the summer and leading up to the world championships so it should be an absolutely awesome thing to watch in the huge fan love this guy's technique and we use him as a technical model quite often because he does so many things I think he's around six foot four he looks even taller he throws incredibly long clearly he's got a very long wingspan but he really maximizes his size and his leverage and he's incredibly quick so a great technical model again but just super clean pay really close attention to this position notice how the hip is moving with that entry side and the length of the entry arm so the path is what we talk about is that super long path that's pulling them into the circle notice the arm will open and then right here's where you're gonna start to see some rewrap of the shoulder a little bend at the elbow so that allows that lower body to move ahead he continues that extremely long path again with that the block side arm as the block comes down look at the extension of the block arm that's gonna enable the long path so that that discus can get around and the hips can get ahead of the discus through the delivery again just an awesome throw so just again here at Airtate Throws Nation we're big fans of throwing we can have a huge appreciation for what high-level throwers do and again part of the intention on videos like these are to really look at the things that make a successful throw not so much critique and and give our opinion is regarding what we think can be better and how he can throw farther but rather break down what what goes into a nearly a 71 meter throw a 232 foot throw inside a stadium so we just want to look at that and we always say look at the positives will look at again their stylistically there's gonna be differences between Frederick and Daniel and Piotr so you know we'll see all those differences but we're gonna look mechanically you're gonna see a lot of the similarities how they're hitting all their key positions and what we refer to as the six pillars throughout the throw so again we hope this is helpful just kind of give you some extra insight what we think is going on or what I think what these guys do so well and what makes them so awesome and so fun to watch it's just a as a huge fan of throwing it's a really cool thing and coaching athletes you definitely have a great appreciation for what these athletes and coaches are accomplishing so congratulations to Frederick and coach Robinson and thank you for watching and if you like this video be
