 Hey everybody, it's Eric Johnson from Airtate Throws Nation. In today's video, we are gonna talk about mechanics and rhythm. Now, you're gonna notice this athlete, we started out a training session, he came in for some private training, we were looking at kind of a half turn, and we're gonna look at angles and positions, and where do we put the feet, and we're trying to teach him the high point, because you're gonna notice as he throws, there's a disconnect, he's too active with the upper body, and the lower body, just like it's slow, and it is lagging behind. As we started to break down technical points, and having a move, and think, what happened? You're gonna notice there's not a lot of spin on the discus, it's fluttering out, there's no sling, and it's kind of just really segmented. That kind of led us to, what are we dealing with, and we could see his problems. So what did we do on day two? We started pointing out those key movement issues, he was dropping, he's very segmented throughout the throw. So what we had to do is take a step back, and really kind of simplify movement, and now that he has the basic understandings, and really just focus on flow. And that's a really important thing, that's something we talk about extensively inside the throwing chain reaction system, that you have to drill, and then you have to flow. So you have to be mechanical, then you have to be rhythmical, you have to apply everything. He started to kind of feel some things, we changed up, we talked about his pillar one, we talked about hip movement, but now we're talking about keeping the whole thing moving. And so as he started to do that, you're noticing big, big difference there. That was by the end of that second day, we're really seeing him start to pull and sling the discus. That was a lot better though. That was much better. So we started out with the third day, picking up right where we left off, and immediately looking at how he's moving and flowing. We're simplifying, we're dumping the mechanics out of his head, and we're just putting together connection, rhythm, timing, and flowing, with maybe one technical cue, and this is really important. So you're gonna see how I'm having a move. I'm talking about the rhythm of the throw, the length, and you really start to see a big difference and he's getting closer and closer, and the movement as a whole from day one to day three was just massive and the sling on the discus was starting to change immensely. Now this young guy is just gonna be a freshman in high school, so he's still a young pup and he's learning how to move his body. So you're gonna see that he makes a big change. Look at that, booyah! Yes, sir. See? Nice work. Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm. Look at that. Boom! Boom! Look at video day one to day three and you're gonna see that even by the end of day two, big difference improvement, but we just kind of worked here. You see that we had what we call as a step-step throw. So watch as he goes through. You're gonna see the sweep leg action is something that we had to work on and by doing our step-step throw drill, we were able to kind of show him how to keep the long, wider motion that helped him move throughout the throw and that resulted in a big change in just a matter of a few training sessions and that's a really important tip. Sometimes you just gotta focus on the rhythm of the throw and dump out some of the mechanics, simplify and work to keep the throw moving and that will help a lot of young athletes and many athletes succeed much faster.
