 Okay, what's going on everyone? It is me, Coach Johnson. You can see I look a little tired, kicking off the new year, and we wanted to talk basically about a couple of things that are going on. So the last few weeks, you know, we're going to put this out so that we just kind of touch base, we're going to get things warmed up, and where am I going? Well, basically I got hit with this idea, and one of the things that's been a really common recurring concept over the last few weeks has been we've done private training, online training, we did group camps, we've done something that we call an accelerator camp, and we basically just kind of had a recurring theme that I thought was really important to put out as we do this, and so there's a concept of sequence when you train the throw, and then there's timing, and if you think about sequence and timing, sequence of the throw is the first thing you're going to learn, and oftentimes you're going to sequence, and you're going to more often than not, the majority of the time it's going to be poorly timed, and why is this so important? So we've seen this, you know, big camps, private training, one-on-one coaching, online coaching, we do, like I said, something called an accelerator camp, where we limit it to eight athletes, typically eight to ten. It's a really intense weekend of throwing, and the common thing keeps coming up. What do you have to be aware of? You want to understand that you are going to learn technique, you're going to learn what the sequence is first, so when you learn the sequence, you are more often than not going to throw poorly, so think of it like a dance, if you were learning dance steps, you're going to be real choppy, you're going to be learning the sequence, and you're not going to have rhythm, and you're not going to be real smooth, and you're probably not going to look super good, and why is this so important? Because the one common thing that we see all the time is, especially athletes, they'll be hitting a good sequence, their training sequence is actually really, really beneficial, right? They're doing what they need to do, but they doesn't feel really great because it's mistimed. So if it's mistimed, you throw a sector foul, you foul, you lose power, you fly the disc is wrong, it comes off your hand wrong, you don't throw as far, you do all these different things that result of bad timing, but often your sequence is on point. And why is this so important for throwers and coaches? Because oftentimes throwers are learning, they're moving on the right track, and then they jump off track, right? They say, you know, oh that sucked, I threw sector foul, so now what they do, instead of continuing to stay focused on what they're doing, that's going to move them towards what they need to do, they're going to change direction, and that's exactly what you don't need to do. So one of the situations that came to a camp, we had an athlete, and I was like, you know what, that was a really good throw, just keep doing that, about seven or eight throws later, boom, starts clicking, and the athlete's going and throwing much better, you know, throughout the rest of the training. And so whether it's been every scenario, we're just seeing the same thing, it's a common thing we've talked about in more seasons, but as we go into the new year and you're starting to learn how to train, why is this so critical? Because if you don't know what is right, and that you're on the right track, you're going to slow down your results, because oftentimes you're doing exactly what you need to do, or you've been moving in the right direction, then you change direction because you're impatient, and you don't know how to look at that. And that goes back to learning how to see film, look at your video, and so make sure that you know how to break it down. That's one of the really critical things that you have to learn as a thrower. So I had a moment, thought I would go live, we normally post on Instagram, I would post here, just because we haven't done a whole lot on YouTube lately, this will just kind of throw up. But the key thing is remember a lot of times you guys, if you're doing, if you don't know what you need to do, you're never going to get to where you want to go as fast as you can possibly get there. So that's going to be a really important note. So if you have a problem with throwing the disc as low, I see a quick question, I'll answer that, and then I'm going to let you guys go in my hand. It's like shaky. So let's do this. So the key thing just to kind of wrap that this up, and I'll answer a question, then I got to go because I got some stuff I'm going to do. But this just kind of a thought, I wanted to get this out there and let athletes and coaches know you got to be focusing on the right things day in and day out. We have an entire system, that's how you do that. So if you're looking, if you want to make sure that you're improving at the fastest possible rate, be sure to check out irritatethrowsnation.com.

Click that link, check that out. I got more info. Somebody said, what do you do when you're flying the discus low? A lot of times it has to do with the timing and the sequence of the block. What I just kind of talked about today, if you're throwing low, that typically means you might be coming forward too early. That means something's out of sequence. If you're throwing in the right direction and it's low, that's always something I always tell my throwers and coaches that's such a low, that's a low key problem, it's really easy to fix. If there's power on the discus and it's going in the right direction, that's a timing issue, and that really kind of reiterates what the point of this message was today. See Big Dave Lee on there? Great to see you. I just thought I would go quick, quick live. I had a quick note and I was like, you know what? I'm just going to throw this up. We sent out our 12 tips of the 12 days of throwing tips, so hopefully you guys all enjoyed that. I will catch you guys all later and check out the things. We'll have more things, how to stay it down on the finish. That has a lot to do with the start. Remember, your finish has to do with the start. This is what we always talk about, sequence versus timing. Anyway guys, thanks for watching. There'll be more. Like I said, just sitting here at the desk, some pop that I thought I'd share. You guys take it easy.
