 Hey everybody, it's Eric Johnson and in today's video we are going to look at something that you can probably relate to. This is a video for young throwers and coaches when you're coaching an athlete that is super active with the upper body. By that I mean they're too active, they're opening up, they're leading the throw and what they're doing is is they're losing all of the power and sling that we would want to get in the discus. Now you can do the same thing in the shot but in this particular case working with the young athlete she actually moves pretty well but she's so active with the upper body that the sequence is totally out and this is going to be a longer process to correct so it's one of these things that just takes patience and time and it will get a lot better but you have to be focusing on it. So we're going to take you inside a training session so hopefully you enjoy and can relate and find some value so check it out. Okay so why that's going to be bad and you're going to screw up your back. Stop right there so see what you're doing there's no angle on your lower body up lower body stays here and you're doing this you're not moving everything like this that's the position you're supposed to be in closer getting center of mass and dropping on it is very different than starting here and pushing here okay they look the same they're not so set it yep okay put it down yeah see wait wait see how you're bending over I wind there's no bending I wind because in the throw I would come here and I would come to this point you see that and I'd be pulling here wait see that no no no stretch this open your left foot now you see how the difference in your lower body is you're doing see where your shoulders are so watch this is what you've been doing you're not creating tension that was closer okay so why that's going to be bad and you're going to screw up your back you think throwing is this now look where my hips are there's no way you can get your hip ahead of that you need to stop your arm here throw wind okay you see what you're doing this look where your shoulders are this is where you're at your chest is never over here look at the difference that's freaking massive do you see that so now bend your knee open this leg oh your knees and your hips moving into the throw now look oh yeah go go go go go go now see how your shoulder is coming up arm here stop do not move it this moves everything okay keep turning that's what you're not doing smooth that's better push your hips back feel how you're loaded now you can push and pull pull it so that was better okay so you're so used to pulling this shoulder that's a nightmare problem see how see this is this is the thing i got to get you out of you have your arm basically like this you're by default pulling your shoulder back so you've got to keep your arm stretched not do you feel the difference this is this is little stuff like this is what people miss it was a little better but you did the the wind up is incorrect that was a better one look at the difference look at the difference so much better feels much better right
