 We wanted to kind of look at the things that make Docker so good and so consistent. Obviously one of the things that he does as we talk about in the throwing chain reaction is he has a very consistent setup. If you look at this throw or any of the throws really throughout the season you'll notice that the beginning and the start he's very comfortable with the discus and as he moves himself into position he kind of goes here with his arm swing. He's going to go what we call as our three position start. He's going to set up the throw. He's going to take a long pre-wind, a long wind and you're going to notice now one of the things that we say is a little tricky to understand is when we see a throw we're trying to maintain the center line at the start of the throw and he does do that. You'll see that he has movement here but you're going to notice the key thing is when he moves the hips he creates a ton of separation and stretch reflex between the hips and that is going to help him create what we refer to as that big pillar too and so as he creates this shift to the left again getting around the left leg is the big key for any throw or so are the entry side so we're going to notice the length of the entry arm. We're going to notice how the position of the foot is turning ahead. It's past nine o'clock so one of the things you're going to notice too is the weight is forward how he moves right hip with the left foot so as he moves into the throw you're going to notice that he's really leading and this left side is pulling everything long and into the middle of the circle. He's going to get an incredibly wide sweep you're going to see that high wide sweep leg knees are out and you're going to notice that how high the foot is and how level the foot is at this point. The position of the knee driving doping down into the throw he's really pushing that knee to the sprint point you're going to notice that we see the left arm and sweep leg counter balance and again notice the angle of the body and the discus back this is what we refer to as pillar three this is where he's applying speed into the throw and this is where we look at the transition so now he's going to start transitioning from the sprint leg to the middle right the delivery leg and so you're going to notice this is where the rewrap occurs he's going to keep the shoulder long and away you can see the high point of the discus back here and this is the key noticing where he loads and lands he stays on the ball the foot and that knee from this point is just going to continue to be really pushing ahead of the toe throughout the throw you'll notice that that's another difference when we broke down the daniel stall so consistent and it's that that constant acceleration and lack of hesitation and you're really starting to see this with dockers over the last couple of seasons now look at how he stays on the right you're going to notice he lands on the ball he's got that high point here he's got the left arm is really counter balancing him over the right leg which enables him to keep his chest over the right knee and so at this point you're going to see how the knee is going to be moving ahead and watch the elevation of the heel so you'll see that the knee and you'll see that the hip are going to be driving into the throw and the direction that they're going to be facing so as he comes down you'll notice this is what we refer to as pillar four and there's five we notice the block foot coming flat to the ground the elevation of the delivery leg heel so again that's the push of the knee and the hip into the throw and then you're going to see how he maintains that heel that foot on the ground pretty through this point through the delivery but he'll elevate whereas stall will keep it down even a bit longer so Frederick keeps the left arm a little wider and again but you're going to notice the contact at the delivery point both feet are still pretty much on the ground and look where the hip is facing the hip is facing into the sector down this way and that pulls the disc is forward and that's why you see most elite throwers their release is at this point right you're going to see that right back here he's moving so fast so on this breakdown you're going to see that the hip is ahead and the shoulders ahead and that's what creates the whipping motion of the discus and you can see it's not the motion of throwing this way is rotating all the way through so that the discus whips around now let's let's go back and this was what they had called they had initially called it a foul if you look on the throw it's all pretty clean you can see that there was clearly no foul and obviously the video review show there was no foul he's a big dude and he is super strong and super athletic so you know this is a guy that's probably what he's right about six eight and he weighs 340 pounds or so so just just a giant man again i think one of the things that goes on here what trumps everything stall is rock and the beard but in all seriousness one of the things we look at is he's a big guy and he maximizes those levers so look at the look at the length that gets set up you see how he's going to wind set that position and then you're going to see that same length right from here to here you see how he's maintaining that length so we always talk about in our system we want a long setup so we're going to have a long entry and this is all part of getting on balance notice that length that's a great counterbalance when you see the left arm counterbalancing the discus he's going to be setting up a really nice radius and he's setting up a really nice orbit so you see that high point here and you notice that as he comes along we talk about this the first pillar we talk about setting up the second pillar we talk about is setting up maximum power that's getting the axis to rotate around and so the thrower can drive into the throw and this is one of the things that clearly stall does extremely well and if you notice with coach veston's athletes they all have a similar looking technique again i think that's a thing coach v has a system so you're going to notice when you look at any kind of coach they're going to have a system all coaches have a system one of the things that i think coach v talks about is you know keeping level level shoulders and level hips and you can see that stall does that very well and then he's going to be able to move around that axis again we call that pillar two we set and then pillar three is dropping in you're going to notice that stall really does create that nice sprint he's really moving in and you notice again our two level lines of these guys staying here you're going to notice that shoulders and hips again are pretty level what's the key of all this how do we simplify it we've got to get on balance so we set up our start this is one of the things we talked about and we get on balance so once we get on balance now speed is able to be created because now you can actually come out of that imagine a sprinter coming out of the box and if he's leaning to the side he's going to be stumbling he can't be efficient in that linear motion forward if the hips are going this way and they're trying to go this way you're not going to be able to create a sprint that's the same thing in the rotational throws the hips have to be moving in that linear position to the center of the circle so you're going to notice that here one of the things that we've we've seen to think that looks a little different is stall has in my opinion on this throw he has a little bit wider sweep than he has had in some of his previous years and I think this looks exciting because this to me looks like he's throwing huge throws really effortlessly he's banging 68 midgers 69 meters 70 this is a second time over 70 meters this year he just the next day after this 71 meter throw the very next day within 24 hours basically throws 69 meters and rumor has it that there was a foul over 70 as well so a slight foot foul so this guy is on fire throwing extremely well and it's going to be really exciting so the point is here is as he comes to the sprint you're going to see that once you create that linear motion and you're able to create speed and everything's moving efficiently you're going to notice that stall is able to how this his sprint slash block leg you notice how as the foot touches down look at how much the left is with him a lot of times there's something we call the back in where you see young throwers and you'll see young throwers and what they'll do is they're going to back in so they're kind of turning one side and they're leaving the leg back they're not moving the whole system of the hips and that's one of the things again having met and gotten the opportunity to speak to coach V about how they kind of train he's looking at that that level hip and shoulder position something we've included in our system you know that we've we've taught for a lot of years as well but just using different vernacular I think coach V's is very easy you know concept to grasp makes total sense but if you don't set up this position here correctly that's going to be very difficult to maintain level because if the hips are falling across the circle then you're going to have the athlete you're going to have diverging force and you need converging energy in the throw and that's what creates speed so again once we create balance you're going to see stalls extremely balanced great tension you're going to notice this next piece that he sets up you're going to see everything pretty level notice that length again that we saw in the beginning of the throw he's maintaining that throughout the throw and then right here he's going to come around and then you're going to see you're going to see this position we talked about this with Valerie Allman and you see here's that 70 meter look at that that axis and look at how everything squares up so this is going to enable everything how we get that vertical axis so that we can generate power we call this pillar five and this is now he's creating blazing speed now he's going to be able to rotate and take the throw out and again you're going to see the block arm is see it it's long it's stops he's going to have the shoulder stop the block stop here and then everything is moving out and around and he's creating that really nice long path you see that discus is right on the tip of that arrow so the keys again how does he get there this is our opinion again what we're looking at is this is a tremendous throw we're not trying to say oh we should do this or you should do that we're trying to say we think this is what they're doing these are the key biomechanical points you see these are good looking positions why they're happening and generally that's going to be the most important thing as you're developing throw or to understand a lot of these core things how are you going to get on balance how are you going to create speed when those things happen in your balance you're going to be able to come through and typically smash the delivery and that's what you're seeing pretty consistently we saw he's throwing these big throws week in and week out and it's really cool to see so that's our kind of our rundown again huge congrats to Daniel and coach v and global throwing and again with a year where we've had such limited competitions to watch and everybody lost seasons it's really a nice relief to get some of these types of results and see these things happening and really excited when the season can get back to normal congrats to those guys hopefully you guys enjoyed this video be sure to give us a
