  2. Basic Keys To All Throwing Events • Balance • Eyes/Focal Points • Tempo/Rhythm 4. Finish Technique

  3. Heel to toe Relationship-Standing Throw Right heel to left toe

  4. Ring Orientation • Using the clock method • Learning various positions with proper timing • Use of focal points

  5. Shot Put/Standing Throw • Heel to toe relationship • Proper Grip/Base of fingers • Proper neck placement/under ear • Throwing arm relaxed and slightly down/elbow out

  6. Initiation of Standing Throw • Ring orientation/the clock system • Throw begins from 11 o’clock • Use rhythmic start not static start • Flex right leg/left arm back • Bridged back • Ball behind right knee • Proper focal points beyond circle • Track eyes horizontally

  7. Long path of ball Finish feet/hip/shoulder rotation Right knee/left arm work as unit Drive ball over toe board under control Stay on feet. Throw through the face Finish Techniques/Standing Throw

  8. Glide Technique • Ideal candidates are taller athletes with leverage • Athletes with limited pivoting skills • Athletes with limited body control skills

  9. Essentials of the Glide • Smooth transition across the circle • Creating momentum into the power position • Using the right leg effectively • Finish techniques/must face your throw

  10. Glide Start/Entry • Traditional start vs. dynamic start • Relax the back/bridged back • Proper focal points beyond circle at 12 o’clock • Roll off the heel

  11. Landing in the Center of the Circle • Shoulders, hips and right foot 11 o’clock • Left arm behind hips but in motion • Ball behind knee • Feet land in quick sequence • Orbit/pathway of ball is 42 degrees • Right foot underneath center of mass

  12. Middle to Front of Circle • Right foot/left arm work as a unit – rotate • Stay off the heel – use ball of foot • Active left side – back slapping arm motion • Face your throw – release over the toe board • Throw through the face – 42 degrees

  13. Exchange • Naturally exchange feet with proper timing • Do whatever you can to stay in the ring • It helps to lower center of mass/bend knees • DO NOT watch the ball!

  14. Rotational Shot Put

  15. Setting Your Stance • Feet slightly wider than shoulder width • Toes pointed slightly out • Weight in the middle of the body • Shoulders relaxed • Bend the knees and stack the vertebrae

  16. Entry • Slower the better • Short wind up or limited wind up • Activate with both feet • Open left leg • Rotate on ball of left foot • Pivot around the left foot • Maintain depth/initiate orbit

  17. Air Pivot • Right knee to the middle • Look down the left sector • Rotate hips and release shoulders to 3 o’clock • Right foot rotates from 2 o’clock • Upon left foot contact, shoulders will rotate to 11 o’clock

  18. Middle to Front of Circle • Rotation continues from 11 o’clock • Left arm constantly in motion • Active left side/left arm motion • Face your throw • 42 degree release angle
