 That was better look at that long long That was a lot better Steve oh Buddy Good to see you Good man, how's everything? Yeah. Hey, hey look at this guy. Geez man What's up guys? It's Eric Johnson from Airtate throws nation in today's video We are going to go through our inside the ring edition We're gonna go look inside a training session with the Campbell brothers We got older brother Steven and younger brother Alex and Steve oh for short I've been working with him since he was a little guy and his little brother Alex I want to say he was probably about five or six years old Steve oh has made the switch from the glide to the rotational shot Very well. He's he's thrown about 1650. I want to say in college So things that we had to work on with Steve oh we have to work on we're working on the sweep leg path And how he's entering to the middle of the ring. He does some really good things We got some early drop issues He was the way he's coming around what we call as a pillar one to two as he's moving around and into the circle There's some wrong timing elements and we were trying to correct that younger brother Alex They had kind of gotten away from some of the things and that's really understandable There's so much information out there and you see this and you see that and you can't help sometimes To want to try this and try that but what happened was is Alex started to they learned something I think what it was is an interpretation of what they had picked up from another camp and a very good coach But they were talking about how to work the block arm which resulted in a in the shoulder being in the wrong place And you'll see in the videos that Alex just pulls around and he doesn't have like a really strong block now This is this is a good word of warning to everybody out there Be careful some cues that are really intended for more advanced developed throwers that requires a higher level of body Awareness and just a more intuitive response a lot of times won't work with younger throwers So during the weekend we did a lot of things and did some drills to help Alex feel how to fix that and we made some really good progress So again, both the guys again had did a very good job We're throwing well felt really confident towards the end had some nice things to say So hopefully you guys have enjoyed watching what's going on here in this video and we will see you on the next video So check it out Okay, so also you see how you're pre flexed that's called planter flexing when you push So when you start up like this, there's nothing left to push on you got a you've got a push and turn into it So it's loaded so it goes this way if it's already loaded You're gonna push and you're gonna pull around because you're gonna lose your leg hold it in that position. Okay? now wind flat wind Flat feel that that tension and then you twist the hips hips level shoulders level wind level you're in pillar six That was a little better Yep, right there That was much better. Yeah. Good. Keep it wide Yep, and then turn around Good now just remember hinge to 530 watch here come around Head. Yep hinge go Yes That was much better. Okay That was better. Look at that around For all my throwers out there and coaches, you know We the thing we talked about in the chain reaction is is the sequence of how we start And so that that has a lot to do with the whole you know action reaction And so in this part of the training we had to kind of just change up some basic little sequence things Not major changes, but just think about the flow of that start a little bit different And that's what we call our pillar one to two and this really helped Steve make some really good adjustments And then that by default started to fix the entry and allow him to load and Accelerate in in the middle of the circle through the finish and that's of course how we're gonna throw further increasing speed and Applying more power to the shot That was pretty good That's all right Okay, that was a better throw you see the alignment was real nice pop See here this this is literally how you're throwing What no no pay attention watch? Does that look right? Watch look at my upper body. Here's you create tension smash the lower body Wham right? Okay push See how you're reaching you're just doing this you're never opening your knees are supposed to open to the direction of the throw And that's how you've been throwing and now you can see how That was closer good. That's just a few But I was really trying to get you through see Steve-O you kind of pull that shoulder back, too That was the right idea That was better Steve-O Push pull your knees That's close. Here's where everybody screws up the arm is the shoulders here if I open the arm Look at the shoulder what young throwers do they start here the shoulders already open So now what he does is he pulls around? Long long That was a lot better Steve-O so that's you that's okay So here's a perfect example where I want you to pay attention that throw was so much better timing of the release was wrong and Nine times out of ten you go. Oh, you know, I missed I did and it's like no no That was that's what you want to keep repeating That was better good. I Just wanted to basically, you know, hey, it's great to see you guys you guys came from Utah I remember when Steve-O was the first time we actually trained together was when we were in California That's how long ago. It's been about seven or eight years ago is that you guys came out, right? Yeah, it's been like you guys have kind of gone through the system and you veered away from the system And you're coming back to the system just because I get it there's so much information out there nowadays I you know, too I'll look around and you see different things and you and it definitely makes you curious that being said we've had this Long relationship now. I've known you since you were a little guy I remember when he was really a little guy and you're thrown at the collegiate at the NAI level University of Idaho or College of Idaho, that's right. I just wanted to ask you guys how you've enjoyed the system Like what do you think about the training and what keeps you guys have come out to California? You've come out to Arizona. I've actually gone up and trained with you guys up in Utah So what keeps you guys as us being the resource and you keep coming back? I mean, I've worked with you for like eight years now and just over those eight years I've seen like in my discus. I've seen huge jumps like 15 to 25 feet a year Like I mean my freshman year in the discus was kind of hard my sophomore year I tore my Achilles and come back my junior year. I worked with you, you know, just on and off the TCR and I've been I've just I picked up so much and I jumped to numbers. I thought I'd never reached before It's just like sometimes I veer away just because you know life gets busy sometimes and you know Slacken a little bit, but obviously we come back because we want to refine want to get better And I think that's what really what the TCR really does I think if you want to get better and make huge jumps and not only know more about the throws and the Culture, but if you want to just overall increase your knowledge about just throwing in general to become Really good athlete. I mean, this is the place to go obviously. I think what the key has been With the boys, this has been real consistent in in the messaging throwing is unlike any other sport It's very complicated. It happens really fast You practice thousands of throws to get two seconds to do your best And I think that breaking it down into a simpler system helps to refine each part of that throw And I think that's what really helped us the most Steven is a sophomore tours of Keely's the junior came back to be a state champion and I that system was a big part of Achievements in that Alex. What do you think for the short time? I've been kind of doing this I feel like I've gone a lot out of it because Like last camp I was only feeling like 70 feet and then once you just told me like the basics and how to get The hang of it. I would gain like 30 feet. I was only like a 90 foot goer in a stand So honestly, I really think this program is really beneficial and don't really help you out. Do you recommend the system? Absolutely recommend the system
