 Hey everybody, it's Eric Johnson. I am joined by soon to be infamous James Plummer today. And we're gonna do a quick little video and we're gonna just talk about today release. And one of the things we're talking about with James and one of the things we're developing in his throw are some of these details. So this is a higher, more advanced kind of concept thing. We've talked about how to fly the discus right. And that's one of the things in my opinion why the discus is much more difficult than some of the other throwing events because you can have an absolutely perfect throw, be hitting everything great, turn your thumb up to here and you're gonna lose 25 feet on a throw. So one of the things we're gonna do is we'll probably have here in a second, we're gonna have James take a couple throws and he flies the discus pretty well but we're also looking at a couple of things on where we're squaring up and how we have that thumb and angle of release. Angle of release is super critical. So for a lot of you young throwers and coaches when you see that discus and you kinda can see the circle aspect of the discus instead of it looking like a line, you know you're leaving a lot of results on the table and that's something you absolutely need to focus on. So one of the questions was how much do we focus on that? More advanced guy, it's a subtle change. Younger throwers we do in our club, we point out assistant coach James is also helping our young guys feel that out. So what we're gonna do is have James take a couple throws and you'll kinda pay attention to where he's seeing that angle of release and we'll just start out with some simple stand throws and we'll kinda move through his progression and then we'll get some feedback from James to see how much he likes everything he's been doing here. Okay here we go. So again you're gonna notice one of the things is we're trying to do, we're trying to get him to make sure he's extending his radius and keeping that thumb here which is gonna also help him be able to apply more velocity to the finger right or to the edge of the discus and he's gonna create more spin on the discus. So that's why when you turn the thumb up the discus isn't coming off the edge of that finger real well and that's gonna make a big difference. So how you hold it is super important and this is one of the things we're looking for in his throw. Okay good so you guys can see that one flew pretty well and the one thing we're working on is the shoulders turning a little prematurely. We want him to turn further out here so by the time the discus release his body's more at this point than this point and that little change again is gonna be super critical and so what you would see with a younger thrower they're typically gonna wind up pulling that around. So simple tip today basically you're gonna be working on how to fly that angle. Thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video. Yeah. So what's the future of hammers in that day? Ha ha ha. This is a very, very hot and hot.
