 When you're learning to throw and you're making the transition or you're a coach or you're a thrower, do you get your glide movements confused with your rotational movements? In this video, we're going to talk about glides and rotational shot and how those worlds can collide and how you don't want them to and why. So here we go. Check it out. Hey, everybody. It's Eric Johnson from Aritaite Throws Nation. In today's video, what we're going to talk about is when worlds collide. What we're talking about is when glide cues start morphing their way into the rotational throw. For a lot of young throwers, what we start to see is delivery action of the block arm and we're looking at where we start kind of combining rotational movement with glide movement. Now here's one of the things we want to differentiate in this video. The glide is basically a straight line, right? So when I'm here and everything's going and I'm just going to, I'll just do a little step back and kind of show the position of the shot. And so the arm is going to come up and it's going to pull down because I have to keep the implement on a straight line. Now that's really important. So you tend to see what we call as this T position. And if you look at most elite throwers, you look at Valerie Adams, Dave Storrell or you look at Gong of China, you're going to see how they're hitting the delivery and it's a straight line. And this is why you see your gliders coming here, right? You see them coming through and coming through this way. So one of the things we want to now understand is the rotational throw, we're going to be coming through what we call double bent legs and then we're going to be kind of lifting this way. And you're going to notice that the hip is going to be coming in the throw and you tend to see most rotational throwers counterbalancing the implement with a longer block arm. Now are there exceptions? Of course. You see Ryan Krauser. Now Ryan Krauser was a glider until I think he was until 16 or 17. So he kind of has that like a rotating glide arm. But the point is when he comes out of that, he's not coming up in the linear fashion more. He is rotating through. Now so this is one of the things we want to clarify. Recently we're just down at a camp. I was in Australia and we had a thrower who had kind of learned to come through his glide like this. So he was rotating out of his glide. When we see that it's a logical transition to say you're coming out of your throw out of your glide like a rotational thrower. Let's try the rotational throw. Long story short, the kid really connected very fast, went through our six pillars throughout the camp and by the end of the day, very clean throw after throw after throw, basically throwing at his glide PR on the first day, which is a great sign to make that switch. Understand the difference between linear delivery and rotational delivery. So if I'm when I'm rotating, I'm going to be coming out here longer. The path of the shoulder is going to be more level and long so that it's helping pull me out and I'm going to be able to drive out into the throw and come around. And if I'm gliding, I have to pull up, which is going to help me stay on top of that right. If I pull this way, I'm going to rotate off my delivery leg. And then when we're in the glide, we're so linear, we have to come up and we have to come down. So some people would say slap the giant. Elbow the midget may have heard that one. Again, I understand that cue. It has its place. But again, what we want to do is we want to help evolve those coaching cues into better cues. So what we're talking about is an up and a down. And that's going to create this motion and this motion. So you're going to feel that punch and feel that big linear finish. Do yourself a favor. Don't combine your rotation and your linear movements together. The two are completely separate. And how you stay on that linear line in the glide is very different than how you're going to be coming through the rotational throw. And this is one of those simple things to help you not get confused to make better improvements. Remember, we have our free TCR system rotational throws mini course in the link below. We also have our glide mini course below as well. And it helps you to understand the six pillars of the throw, understand the global movement of the throw, so that you can get better and faster.

Young or older, more advanced throwers get in the habit of and that is looking at the throw at the point or after release.
