 So I want to be conscious of my orbit. Sometimes you're going to see this and you're going to see the discus orbit. What's up guys? It's Eric Johnson from Airtate Throws Nation and in today's video, we are going to take a clip from our recent virtual camp. If you are watching this video, it's happening live. If you're watching this video six months after it happened, I think it's going to be available on our website. You can dive in at any time. So check it out. And what we're going to do now is we're going to go through our first throwing segment. What we're going to do is have you warm up with this, whether you're a more advanced thrower or you're a beginner, we're going to feel some things and it's going to restrict some motions and you want to pay attention to how that's feeling. So what we're going to do is the kneeling throws. The first thing that we talked about when we did the drills and we talked about setting up our sequence, I'm going to put here and I'm going to do this and you're going to see me. So I'm going to have this camera and this camera and I'm going to be thrown this way. So what I'm going to do is remember when I put the knees here, we're looking at the arm swing. So you're going to see how I create that big wind and you're going to see this, right? And one of the things I'm working on is getting that discus a little bit higher. So I want to be conscious of my orbit. Sometimes you're going to see this and you're going to see the discus orbit drop and we want to make sure that the radius stays nice and high. We're going to be winding flat and you're going to notice when I wind flat and what I want to do is really create length so that I feel myself almost falling into the throw. When I throw, when I create this length, it's going to create a natural motion of blocking and you're going to notice how that pulls me forward. This is going to be really important. So what you're really trying to do is you're going to realize that from the knees down is where the difficulty comes in locking your hips. So this is why we teach, when we teach that one, two, three, four sequence, we're making sure that we feel our weight on the inside of the wine side foot. With the kneeling throw, again, we're going to go here. We're going to go one, two, three and you're going to see me, okay? So you're going to see how I kind of lunge forward. So this is why again we would have a towel or if I'm on the grass. So basically you're going to see me, you know, set it up, stay nice and long and you're going to feel me hit the throw and come forward and that means I'm engaging. Now, here's the common things you're going to watch. A lot of times people are going to wind, they're going to wind low, discus is going to drop low and they're going to pull around. So if you're not falling forward, you don't have this position because as soon as I put this position, I reach a little bit more, it's here. When I'm in a full throw or my stand throw, we're going to be wanting to do the same thing. Super long so that we feel how the lower body can move that long path of the upper body is what's going to allow your lower body to move ahead of the discus. So again, the whole point of the kneeling throw is to be able to feel that separation and stretch reflex and you want to be conscious of the orbit and the radius at the same time. Avoid sitting back, you're going to avoid pushing your shoulders back. These are the cheats is to push your butt back. But you'll notice when I push my butt back, why is this a cheat? Because it helps you stay out here, which is a better balance position but it's not the right position. We want to keep our hips up underneath. So we're feeling this stretch. So we're going to feel our block engage and we're going to be here. So we come forward into the throw. Most of the time I'll have a lot of my athletes just doing it on the grass. I want you to do it on the grass. It's super simple. Again, you may want to towel, but oftentimes you don't need it. Just find a grassy patch and that way when you come forward and fall forward, super simple, super easy. Give that a try. Now, here's the thing we're going to be looking for. Again, we talked about don't sit back, don't pull around. And if you're pulling around, chances are this motion is here and you're going to notice how it just forces you to turn the shoulder in front. If you're a more advanced guy, this is still going to be a benefit because it's going to make you feel if you're a younger thrower, it's really vital because what you're going to do is just going to be able to feel that. And if you don't feel that, this is where you want this to kind of come into play. It makes a big difference. Again, you're going to focus on keeping your hips under you because when we throw, that's what we want. We want the hips under us so we can always turn the hips more at the finish and we're going to dive into that and we're going to break down your pre-blocks and your stand throws and the videos coming up.
