 Hi everyone it's Eric Johnson from Airtay Throws Nation and in this video what we're going to do is a short series on Throws terminology. So one of the first things that we talk about at our camps and online and at our various speaking events is understanding separation. Now one of the core things to separation is understanding that we're talking about separating the position of the shoulders and the hips. So if we're talking about even whether it's the glide we're going to be separating. We create a little bit of an angle here. We don't want to rotate too much but we want to get the shoulders back a little bit and that's going to help when we set our position. So we're going to be able to move and we're going to be able to land and we're going to have that separation. Hips are facing this way, shoulders are facing this way. That's what we refer to as separation. Separation is what creates that torque and that untorthing is what is going to allow you to set up into your throw. In the discus or the rotational shot, in the shot foot what we have is a, we have hip shoulder separation. The arm is here, we get that kind of separation and that creates a little stretch, reflex response and that's going to move us into our throw. So separating the hips and shoulders is super vital. In the discus we have two types of separation which is in my opinion why I tend to think that the discus is a little longer cycle to hit bigger Throws. It's a little more technically complicated because of the two types of separation and how you have to maintain stretch reflex and we'll talk about stretch reflex in another video. So what we talk about in the discus is shoulders hips, arm shoulder. So we have two types of separation and that's what's going to help us feel. So we have to get the shoulders behind the hips and the arm behind the shoulder and you're going to notice when you see that little sling back kind of motion that's my stretch reflex. So what we're trying to do is we're always wanting to learn how to set up separation and stretch reflex and how that is and where and when that's going to be affected in the throw. That's going to be the topic in our next video. So hopefully you found this video helpful. If you did please give us a thumbs up.
