 Hey everyone, it's Coach Johnson and in this quick video we're going to go through our coach versus thrower comparison. Here we have two coach, myself of course, and one of my athletes. Again, I think it's super important for coaches to be able to demonstrate what should be done and that's going to be able to communicate positions and things much better. Now one of the things we're looking at when we do this drill, we're going to do our pillar three touch drill and that's where we're going to do a normal wind up. You're going to see some differences in styles. I'm winding up also in anticipation of understanding the drill because it is going to be a slightly different entry. But who did it better? What we want to look at, this is one of my developing throwers. It's going to be a senior in high school this year. We're looking for some 180 to 190 feet this year in the discus and 58 to 62 feet in the shot. One of the things we're going to be looking at, he does a lot of good things and we're going to pay attention to, you're going to notice subtle changes. We're going to look at to the amount of time on double support and how we're going to set up. When we set here we're going to notice a few different things. His heel is a little higher and so what this is actually indicating that this knee is almost disproportionately too far in front, we want to be feeling again, you want to be thinking of that quick start like a sprint because that's what this drill is designed to teach is when we create the touch, we're creating a better sprint position and so you're going to see as we continue to go how he's kind of dropping down and his hip is staying back and what we need to be seeing is that hip coming forward. So what that kind of works into, you'll see at this point that the knee really is not efficiently, it's in front, but what we have to pay attention to is the angle and he sets up a good angle but what you're going to notice is what's going to be the real test. He's got a good position here, coach is a little far too far forward. I like the heel position here, heel position is a little low and again I'm not in throwing shoes but hey I won't make too many excuses. So what we do is when we look here though this is where we're really going to be able to measure if you look at the angle of the knee this is what we want to see. So you're going to see that angle here and what you're going to pay attention to is that his knee isn't actually as bent and that's one of the things we're going to be working on. So his angle, it's a pretty nice angle but you're going to notice the next thing is look at the position of the foot and look at the position of his foot and so these are going to be the big changes. When this foot's opening and the position of the arms right you're going to see it here as this foot comes down you're going to see now where's where you're going to see the big difference. At this point the delivery when we go our pillar five to six right here we're hitting our pillar five and notice the position of the foot and his foot is taking a longer time to get put into that position so that's going to change and you're going to notice that his orbit is his orbit higher than mine well what you would really be paying attention to is where the angle is and watch as we come through delivery you're going to see that I actually have a higher release point and that is partially due to this we're getting the I'm getting the knee ahead and again there's an actual more bent so we have a better vertical stack whereas as he comes around it's pretty good but his chest his hip isn't directly underneath the shoulder so that's what we're basically looking at in the coach versus thrower so who did it better well of course the coach you know but he's doing a lot of good things but you're going to see the touchdown again this is really where you're seeing the big thing and this is what we teach in the chain reaction we're looking at where we're setting up and you're going to see that at this point the vertical axis is more loaded and it's a faster turning axis you can see where the knee is in relation to his knee because the my foot has already been down his foot's here so my foot can turn into the block faster and harder and he's going to still be setting up and right here's where he can pull and I've been pulling since this position and he can't start pulling until this position and so he's going to get less throw and less distance in the ring so good drill to help you do it this was an improvement upon earlier drills in the training but again just a two kilo discus ball throwing into a brick wall so we're working strength and we're working technical positions great way to get in a ton of reps and the pillar three touch and go drill that's what we call this it's really designed to make sure you're feeling the proper setup and the ability to move into the throw here's what it looks like in full speed yes okay see the different time so if you like this video please visit our website irritatorsnation.com be sure to subscribe and comment below thanks so much
