 Four discus, four shot comparisons from around the world. Check it out. Hey everybody, it's Coach Johnson from Airtate Thrust Nation. Today's video, we are going to break down our videos. This is our weekly submissions. We're getting way too many videos to obviously cover. So some of the people I picked today actually submitted last week, so I selected them. Again, shoot the right camera angle for our gliders. Really get that side angle for our discus doors. This tends to be a good angle because you can see a lot of things. Side angle, you can see a lot of good things as well. But for the sake of comparison, is it try to shoot your videos, turn your camera horizontally, right? And we're probably going to be requesting you guys send these videos via email because the compression on the DM kind of makes the video sometimes a little grainy. All right guys, so today is all about, we're going to do kind of comparison we got, throwers from around the world. Again, everybody's trying to develop that perfect throwing technique, whether that's your discus, rotational shot, or your glide. We're going to have some stuff in the future, the javelin, the hammer, so stay tuned for that. But we're going to do a little comparison this time, kind of run through our six pillars and see what people do throughout the throw. Now real quick, before I dive in, one of the key things I want to make sure of is everybody at this time of the year that's submitting video is clearly dedicated and driven. Great job to you guys. For you guys that do have coaches, again, what we want to do here is I'm just going to give you things that we see, kind of compare. Maybe you've already worked on these things. Maybe it's just a fresh perspective, but the idea is we want to respect the fact that some of you guys that have coaches, we're just giving you what we see are the good things and things that are kind of standing out to us. All right, so first up, we have Jacko, Jackson Miller from Australia, and I have Aaron from India. And we synced up these guys at their throw. So the first thing we want to look at is their pillar ones are pretty good. So where they start and wind up, how they move, but right here is where we're starting to see this. So what I like is Jackson here does a nice job of staying pretty long. Aaron gets a little bit of a squat on the legs that's not necessarily a bad thing. So as he comes around, he's going to kind of cut his sweep a little short and the left arm kinds of comes around. I'm going to see Jackson here, kind of takes a nicer, longer path with that left arm, but we're under rotating this left foot and that's going to cause, even though he's getting a sprint, he's a younger athlete using lighter weight implement and then when you get to the heavier implement, it's really more difficult to get away with those things. So as we go through and we get our sweep, both guys do a pretty good job. So now as we create this sweep, you're going to see that Aaron's left arm kind of comes around a little bit. Sweep position and sprint position is pretty good. Now here's what he does well. I like the way he pulls this knee. He's pulling it in behind so he's going to accelerate rotation. It's going to help him get this foot down and it's going to help him stay on the ball of the foot. Whereas you see with Jackson right here, this is the key, he is kind of backing in. You see that right there? That's really key, kind of backs in. So you see the right side turning more than the left and you need the hips and both knees and everything turning as a unit. So what that does is that causes Jackson to create a little bit of a shift. Whereas you're going to see Aaron's going to stay up on the ball of the foot a little bit better. Both guys are shifting and you're going to see how, again, they're forward so they're not going to be working around as well as they could. So with Jackson, he's going to need to be working on getting around his block. He's doing a nice job of setting the block. So is Aaron, but Aaron does a nicer job of blocking the left shoulder. So that's going to get him out and around a bit. But he's going to come off. He has a little bit of a shift as well. You see that right there? We'll go back. There's your pillar five. You see how the knees not pushing ahead and then out and around. And you really see that over here with Jackson that when he came in, because he had that back in that foot goes flat, he reaches and he shifts. And then he pulls this left shoulder back. So that is going to cause a problem. So where does this all begin? Again, when we look at our throw and the way what we teach with the throwing chain reaction we're looking at, we just broke it down from pillar two through six. You can see that as we go back through here, the entry, it's that pillar two three is going to be the big focus here. And then the transition, right? So he's going to have to learn this. This is kind of looks like the squeezing of the knees. We always suggest you squeeze the knee behind. That's going to make a bigger difference. Okay, so let's check out the next video. All right, so now we have Hattie and Jacob. Again, one of the things we're going to look at now Hattie has been to some aerotake camps down in Australia and he had converted over to the spin. Now, here's the thing we're going to look at and then we have Jacob Jacobs from Germany. He's trying to convert to the spin and we're going to cover a couple of key things. First off, what we're going to look at again, we always look at the start pillar one and that's kind of how we're setting up our throw. And so you're going to notice how we have Hattie moving kind of from this position. So he's going to take it long. Now he has a little bit of a bend at the arm and that doesn't seem like much, but we want to rotate and wind that left side. And then here you're going to look at Jacob. He's got the arm straight. So this is going to affect how the shoulder enters into the ring. So with Hattie, you're going to see this here. We're going to go as he turns. He's got to have that left arm opening a little bit more in the foot. He's also on the outside of the foot and you're going to notice here, Jacob, he's got that arm folded across. So he's going to go down. He comes up, he goes down, then he comes up and then he opens up that arm. So he's opening the arm late. So he's got too much of this kind of up-down motion. That's what we would recommend. We would recommend a more twisting, tension-creating wind. So you come around a little taller. You don't have to be super tall, but you want to come around and drop. You're going to see the difference here where Hattie comes in. So his pillar two to three, he comes in here. He's under-rotated on the left and you're going to see Jacob gets this around. Pretty nice position here. He winds up, it kind of reminds me of kind of what Jack O'Gill used to do, but Jack O'Gill had a very different left arm path and you didn't see that big up-down motion. So now as he comes here, he rewraps. So we're going to see our pillar three is our sweep. This should still be out in opening. In our opinion, should open up to about three o'clock. And so this way it's going to create this type of a motion in his throw. Hattie's going to come across. He's opening the arm kind of like one of the things we've taught him to focus on, but he under-rotates here. So he kind of is going to get more of that motion. And so that transition, what we call is our pillar four into the middle. He's going to be wrapping around here pretty well. You notice the knee kind of moving behind, which is going to create that nice rotation. And he's got a pretty good motion here and he gets pretty good lift and pretty good extension. But we want to clean up the start a little bit. Whereas we have here with Jacob, you're going to see that as he comes around, he's rewrapping too much. Does that help him create speed? Yes, it does, but he's kind of bending over. That's going to cause his hips to shift into the direction of the throw just a little bit. He gets a nice side rotation in a good block, but you're going to notice on the delivery side, he's kind of got that, looks to me like the elbow is dropping a little bit, but really his big problems again, kind of come at this point here. He's got the upper body to open. And again, that up-down action is going to create the wrong type of rhythm. So at this point, looking at the two, you can see similar again where we have issues that back here in the start, this affects the chain reaction. And this is what is going to help both of these guys clean up and add a lot more distance real fast.
