 What's up guys? It's Eric Johnson from Airtate Throws Nation and in today's video we are going to talk about part two of your glide for beginners 101. So in the first video we talked about setting things up. We talked kind of fast how we set up the delivery side, the block side, the upper body and how we carry the shot. So one of the key things I hear a lot of people frown upon the side shuffle and that's a very good way to start teaching the motion of the throw. So remember one of the things we talk about with the side shuffle is this is where again part of a throwing progression but we're going to start working the middle to the finish. So a side shuffle we're going to kind of do this, we're going to create a little separation, we're going to be sinking down, sliding out and we're dropping into basically the position we talked about in part one. We're getting into that power position. So remember one of the key things we do with the throwing chain reaction we take that unnatural, that speed and we teach you how to break it down into six pillars so that you can train because in two seconds the difference between a beginner and an Olympic champion is basically tenths of a second and we say that we mean six, seven tenths of a second. So the difference between a brand new thrower and the Olympic champion is 0.7 seconds. It's not a lot. So it's a very fast period of time but it's considerably faster and makes a big difference. It teaches you how to break that down into six pillars so that you can learn faster and actually work on the things that need to be worked on. Now that being said, what we're going to do is we start with our side shuffle. So what you're going to do is create this basic principle. We load down, you see how I'm staying here, I'm not, a lot of kids do this. They reach like this and then what they're doing is they're going to make this mistake so they're, you're always trying to train to learn how to use the legs and punch into the throat. It makes a huge difference. That's where all your power's at. I always tell people, everybody's pretty much got a bigger, bigger squat than they do a bench. So we have to utilize the squat to maximize the bench, right? So if you think about it in those simple terms. So remember with a side shuffle, the key is start kind of a little bit on the angle, get a little bit of separation, you're going to slide down, slide this out and then you're going to kind of get that little pro hop type position. We want to land on double bent legs and we're going to be able to push, rotate and push and a thing. We're going to combine those elements that we talked about in the first video to this video. So one of the simple drills that I like that we do in our system is a glide, it's basically we call it kind of our glide wheel. We're going to set up here and we're going to learn how to rotate and stay here. So with the glide, we're keeping that upper body back and we're learning how to create separation. So when we do our shuffle, so we're usually going to always set separation, so many kids are doing this and then they go here and they're opening versus sitting, separating here, dropping, sliding and getting this way, which is going to be now increased a little bit in difficulty by feeling how to keep everything back and feeling that slight rotation that occurs. Remember for years we've always talked about it's more of a punch or a pushing motion in because you're trying to keep the shot on a pretty linear line. You want to minimize too much rotation, right? So the shot is going to come here, it's going to be coming this way and we're going to come this way and we want to punch and this is why you tend to see gliders slightly here because they're trying to keep that shot on a more linear angle into the finish. So what we're going to do our next step when you're teaching is you're going to teach this drill and they're just going to push. Now I like to tell don't put a lot of weight on this because the big mistake is you'll see a lot of kids do this, then they do this and now they're no longer on top of the delivery leg. So what you want to do is you want to basically be able to stay here, have as little weight as possible, shoulders and everything squared up, we're going to push and we're going to keep the shoulders back here so that we can finish in this. Now you start teaching athletes how to work the ground, apply power and increase distance. So again, really simple tips to help you understand how to better teach the glide. We see a lot of things and we see so much of this type of stuff if they're doing a shuffle and then it's here or we see people trying to do this type of thing, they're all loaded up and they immediately do this and everything is incorrect. This seems like a pretty simple motion but this just takes time to learn because as we always talk about inside the throwing chain reaction, throwing is unnatural and it happens fast. That's why we break down six pillars. We teach you throwing progressions, our glide progression has 14 videos and on how to put together a progression, not saying you should do 14 things on a progression but we can mix and train specific things and then we have our pillar drills. We have 60 pillar drills and those accompany the progression. So if you'd like more information on that, be sure to click the link below. Hopefully this helps you to better understand how to move your athletes from a stand throw into the moving across the ring that's going to increase distance and help them start moving closer to that glide and that's what we'll talk about in the next video. So hopefully you guys enjoyed today's video.

Thanks guys and we will see you on the next video.
