 In this episode of Thrower X, we interview the national record holder in the discus of this country. This guy is an absolute stud. His coach joins us. They talk about the start technique drills in this segment. So check it out. How do you guys generally go out and, you know, how do you look at your technique and what are the things? When you try to get the lower body ahead, obviously I think that starts in the beginning of the throw as well. But what are some of the big things that you guys like to think about? We think about probably most the start. The start is like the most important thing. So if the start is really good, I mean the rest of the throw is just gonna almost finish it itself. And if you can start with a good press into the circle, wide right leg and your left leg is not pulling you into a circle, that's almost just equals 60 meters plus all the time almost. But it's really hard sometimes to try and throw far without pulling something out of line and something. So for me, at least, I think about almost every practice is just trying to get that start to right. And right now we are working on just like not pulling the left shelter into the throw. And that's something I did really well in my 69 meter throw. I managed to like neutralize my left shelter. So instead of like always opening it up, it was always just close to the whole time. So it managed to let me like leave a discus more behind and just like give me a better talk like from a feeling up into the fingers. Right. And coach, so when you're coaching it, what do you look for? How do you know a start is on and how do you know a start is off? Well, I just see that if the balance is good or not, just by watching him and sometimes just by hearing the throw, I think you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah. You can hear if it is a good throw. Right. Right. Yeah. The way the feet are going to sound through the, for sure. So the way I coach, I don't really have like a set of rules like you have done with your six pillars, which I think is really good in the way you explained how things are in your country. There are not so many quality throwers and coaches out there. Right. So you're trying to build that up with those steps. And what I do, I just watch the individuals how they throw and then I correct things by number of different drills to correct it. And yeah, that's just how I work. Sometimes I have to say the same thing in 10 different ways for the athlete to understand it. Right. So yeah, so it's just a lot of work one on one. So that's what I try to do. I try to spend time with the athlete when he's throwing. I just don't give him orders and then I go somewhere else. I'm there, watching, taking videos. We watch the videos together right there. And not every, not all the time. I don't think that's good to do at all the time. Sometimes you just have to throw and feel it. Right. But it's a lot of, a lot of video work also right there on the spot. Yeah. And yeah, that's, that's how I work. Gotcha. And you know, and obviously back in your day and you're, I'm, I'm 52. So I'm just a little younger than you, but obviously I had, you remember back in the day it was like you had to film and you had to go home and you had to watch it. You couldn't really watch it on. And so it's so great to just have a phone and you can just be like, let me look at that again. Right. Yep. And that, that's a definite training advantage nowadays for sure. Yep. So what, since you mentioned drills, what would be, you know, you had really fast success and obviously that says a lot about your athletic ability that did you could, you know, basically what in the second season throw 63 meters at your first year you threw 52 meters with the 1.75 right. And that's a huge throw for the first year with a 1.75 actually through 53 something. Oh, was it 53? Okay. Yeah, but somehow it's not recorded anymore. Okay. So yeah, even, even more to the point. And so the next year you throw 63.50 and a series of 60 meter throws with the 2k as a, it's like you're the Icelandic Lawrence Okoye. So, so coach doing that and to have that kind of success, what would, what would be like three drills that you, like your top three drills to kind of get a young thrower moving quickly and what specifically did good nut was what was what was the key for him. Well he, he had the touch for the disc right away so he had the, he had the long reach and, and really that, that, that pushed to the implement. Okay. So, so I didn't have to worry about that. What I just had to have him do is, is like, like, like the things you, you're doing, you know, you press into your left leg and you take the right wide out and, and put it down there. Okay. To the right. Okay. And a lot of those drill to start with, just, just to put pressure on the left leg and take the right, have the same distance between the knees as you go around. That's how I explain it. Okay. And keep your toe out. Okay. And, and then a very important thing is never look down, just, just look like you're walking in a normal way of walking. Right. Yeah. And then we're still working on this with, with goodness head though. I think he has a lot of him, a lot of, a lot of improvement to do with the way he manages his head as he throws. So he's, he's, he's still leading a little bit with his head at the finish. I wanted to relax a little bit more and get more, get more, a little bit more delay from the upper body. Yeah. Right. So we still have, we still have some improvements to do. That's good. Yeah. Well, really at 25 or now you're 26, right? So you still are in your prime throwing years. So what's, and obviously I would imagine, you know, you want to, Paris has got to be the goal and, and you know, what do you think, what do you think you're going to be able to throw? And I do have two more questions for you guys tech about technique. There's two things. But ultimately with where, where do you think you can, like what's your goal? Like is the next goal just a, just a PR or do you have in your head like it's 70 meters, the constant thought or, you know, how do you guys approach that next level? I mean, my goal is just always to throw as far as I possibly can. And just, I mean, I want to be able to throw constantly really far. So I'll be able to join like diamond league meetings, always in the finals at the big meets or championships. I mean, everybody's looking for the podium. Right. I think a very few disclosures at this level don't think about the podium. Right. But it's always thinking about the gold, everything is about the gold. But I mean, it is possible. I mean, I know I can throw really far. It just, just has to be a good day. And we just are always working on a technique and we'll just see what happens. I mean, I'm strong enough to throw far. Now we just need to maybe do it. There you go.
