 five reasons why we enjoy or recommend wall throws and why they're so beneficial. So number one, hey everybody, it's Eric Johnson from Airtate Throws and as you're in today's video, what we're going to do is go through five reasons why I think you should be incorporating wall throws into your training in the off season. As everybody knows, we have had a extremely odd year. COVID has really just obviously crushed the 2020 season and it's still having an impact as we go in to fall when we would normally start getting into thinking about what we're going to do gearing up for indoor or getting ready for the 2021 season and those things are still changing and seasons are adjusting. And when we get into that off season time, because we're having so many limitations, one of the core things that you need to do is get a wall and you need throwing balls. So what we have for the discus are throwing, you know, implement weight balls. We have one kilo, one six, two kilo. We can go overweight with two fives and then we will use typically indoor shots for walls. Now if you're throwing closer to a wall, like you have limited space, we like the hard shell shots. They tend to be a little bit more durable and generally if you can get backed off of the wall a little bit more, just either soft shell or an indoor shot is going to work and this way you're going to be able to get in a lot of reps. Now that being said, we're going to go what are five reasons why we enjoy or recommend wall throws and why they're so beneficial. So number one is that wall throws allow you to focus on technique and not distance, but when you put an athlete in front of a wall, you know, the ball's not going anywhere. It's a common thing that we talk about. It says no matter how hard I throw or what I do, it's going to go x distance to the wall. And so by default, it gets our athletes out of the mindset of wanting to see how far it is. The minute you put an athlete in the ring, they're immediately, you guys out there, they're watching that are throwers, you know, you can't help yourself. It's the nature of the sport. You want to see it go far. So one of the nice things about wall throws is allows you to really break down technical positions and work. So hopefully it kind of gives you a little insight into what goes into our training session, what we think about pre-meet. So check it out. So at this stage of the practice, one of the things we're focusing on, we want to get guys meet ready. So rule of thumb is we're not going to be focusing on a ton of cues. We want to be more rhythmical. And I think that's a good suggestion. If you're thinking about too many things going to meet, it's usually going to be kind of end up in a disaster. So what we did with Mason was we were trying to get him in a good rhythm and his rhythm was slightly off. I feel like we needed like one or two additional training sessions just to dial him up a little bit more, but he was super close and still hitting some good throws. Right there. See how you're still kind of shifting. So just keep twisting longer and then your left foot can move. Lock your left, lock your right. When you wind in position two, you see on the inside of your left foot. Look at that. You had so much power on it, you blew your glasses off your head. That was super close. I like that throw a lot. Yeah, it was a lot better. Okay. We just got to make sure we're coming through. And then faith, what you saw is historically faith has been super overactive with their upper body and her shoulder and throwing dominance. So she's had a narrow sweep leg and she's really limits her pull. She's got good power, but she's really not easily been able to feel those positions. And so she's been doing a really good job. And in this training session, she was starting to get a lot better pull. And she actually both throwers went to the meet through fairly well. But like you said, I think they both could have just one or two more sessions dial it up, but it was a really good year considering the circumstances. So hopefully you guys enjoyed today's video.
