 What's up everybody? It's Eric Johnson from Eritrea Throws Nation and in today's video we are going to talk about finish, how do we increase speed and what are going to be two key things that we need to do. First things we need to do, we need to make sure that we maintain level shoulders, level hips and we're going to turn all the way through the finish. This is going to be one of the things that helps you set up that reverse. So many athletes out there having a really hard time with this. They can never seem to get the reverse, switch the feet, whatever you guys call it out there. And so what we're going to do is take an example. Some of our guys here are going to demo. I'll have James come up. So we're going to look at a more advanced thrower. Now James is coming back from an Achilles injury. So he is throwing pretty well, still in advanced thrower, advanced movement. Then I have one of my former collegiate throwers or one of my former athletes who now a collegiate thrower and then I have one of my high school athletes. So we're going to have each of them demonstrate a stand throw. And the thing that we're going to be looking at is kind of comparing the movement between the three. So I tell you what we'll do to show you how to work. We're going to start out with what we call as a modified wheel, which is AKA a half turn or a 180. And we're going to have them work and kind of display how we need to maintain level hips and shoulders and turn through the finish. And we're going to see the differences amongst the three athletes. And hopefully that's going to help you out. So let's take a look at our high school athlete first. And this athlete is definitely a little too active with the upper body. We're not maintaining the exactly flat hips and shoulders and turning all the way through the finish. So we're going to have him, then we're going to move to our next athlete who's turning a little short and tilting at the finish. And then we're going to look at our better athlete who's maintaining better level, but tends to lift a little bit. Okay. So one of the first things that we talk about is maintaining, setting up the right alignment and setting up the chain reaction. So here what we're going to do to make it a little bit more challenging, we're going to have him do a static throw. Okay. Static start and let's go. Okay? Okay. So not bad, but we're going to see one little thing that we always talk about that overrides the chain reaction is how you hold the discus. And this athlete actually is doing something odd that we're addressing. You'll notice his hand in how he's carrying that discus. And this is one of those things that seems small, but it's actually very significant because it's going to make a big difference on how the athlete's able to generate stretch. But you'll notice because of that, that's going to be one of the things that contributes to the shoulders level. Overall, pretty solid throw, but you're going to notice that he kind of, he's lifting early and his orbits a little off his shoulders are not completely level and which doesn't allow him to turn all the way through the finish. Okay. So next up is our collegiate thrower. We'll go static. All right. So again, you're going to notice that this athlete, one of the things we'd be working on, he's coming through his orbits going here. So we're trying to get him to maintain everything here, keep his delivery side turning through and turning through so that he's going to feel, if anything, more of an angle this way. Instead, he's kind of coming this way, shoulders tilt. And now he's coming through the discus like this and that he's going to lose a lot of power. So level shoulders, level hips, that's one of the simple cues that you can use to help you throw further faster. But the key is you just have to not be so concerned about how far it's going to go, feel the positions, then add the speed and try to throw it farther after you've done it a number of times so that you can feel the proper stretch in the proper position. Okay. Next up, our advanced guy. So now James is a 200 plus foot discus thrower and we are going to have him do it and he's been doing a really nice job of maintaining and staying moving through the finish. Level hips, level shoulders and turning all the way through. Okay. Okay. So you're going to notice again, so of the three, you'll notice that he had better contact with the ground, more level with the hips and he was able to turn through the throw better. And now you can see he's going to be able to add a lot more power to the throw. So these two guys were throwing two kilo discs and our high school athletes thrown a one six. So today's quick, long lesson was again, level hips, level shoulders turn all the way through the throw. Now again, remember inside your throwing chain reaction system, we go through this extensively. We have 12 drills just for pillar six, we have another 10 drills for pillar five. So our power position, we have over 22 drills.
