jesues those are pathetic throws I hope you don’t mean feet-almost positive you don’t- I have hit those marks standing in both events and only been doing it for few months ever-in meters not feet-. Well the getting the mark in jav required one cross over and plant step hop then throw, though I’m using college level weighted discuss and jav not sure if different for high school.

Nobody cares. The kid asked for help, he didnt ask for your numbers, or any ridiculous qualifications like “the jav required a crossover and plant hop step step hippity hoppity and oh, by the way, my implements are heavier”

k thanks for adding even less to the topic, just ignore it I usually just write what comes to mind and don’t bother editing it. Notice how I gave advice also, you contribute nothing.

I will second www.effortlessthrow.org and there are some T&F guys at www.nasgaweb.com but it is a highland games site. I just started HG last year and I was astounded at the impact footwork and technique have on throwing in general. Just a slight improvment in timing and your throws will skyrocket. Good luck and have fun.[/quote]

I agree. Learning how to get through your motion into your “power position” can really up your numbers. Strength-wise, don’t forget the rotational core strength part of it. Throwing (like hitting a baseball) requires some power to rotate your torso to transfer the energy from your legs to the implements. I would work in some med-ball wall slams, hammer winds, or other rotational work with your other strength training.
