  1. Throwing Journal - Discus Jiwon Kim 7LG

  2. Arm & Hand position • My fingers are evenly spread out over the discus, and the thumb is on the top of the discus. • My arm is back, rotating with body weight shifting from back to front. • My other arm is thrown out in front to support discus.

  3. Leg position • My legs are facing the direction that I was going to throw, and the right leg is slightly bent. • The weight is on the opposite from the direction that I was going to throw. • When I rotate, My feet are facing to the right of the direction that I was going to throw.

  4. Rotation • I rotated for three times before throwing to practice. • I rotated with body weight shifting from back to front. • My right leg is bent so that I can rest my weight on.

  5. Release • Arm angle of release is about 40 degrees high. • My body weight is traveling forward. • Discus came off of the ring finger and pinky.

  6. Improvements • My hand position got better. Before, my fingers were all grabbing the discus, but now I rested all my fingers on the discus. • When release, my arm angle got about 30 degrees higher. But still it has to be higher. • My legs actually rotated, not fixed. Before, my legs stayed still and were facing the same direction, but now I rotated my legs.

  7. Goal Setting • I will get a perfect arm angle. (45 degrees) • I will fully rotate my body to give more power.
