Arm & Hand position • My release arm is pointing too low. • My hand is spread out over the discus, • but my thumb should be on top of discus not grabbing it. • I threw my arm out in front with other hand to support discus.
Rotation • I rotated 3 times practicing movements before throwing. • My body weight shifted from back to front.
Release • After release, the same side leg didn’t rotate • and stayed still. • My arm angle of release is about 10 degrees only, but it should be higher (45 degrees).
Improvements • My body weight shifted from back to front. • My hand position got more exact. • I rotated three times instead of two.
Goal setting • When releasing, I will release my arm in 45 degrees. • I will rotate my leg to get a powerful throw.
