Shoe Recommendations
I am looking for shoes for my cousin who is in high school. Originally she had wanted "Adidas Men's Adizero Throws Track & Field Shoes" in a very bright yellow/green but those shoes are nearly impossible to find here.
Can anyone recommend a great shoe that is readily available online in canada. Help is much appreciated.
First time back after 10 years.
First time back in the ring after 10 years away, throwing the 7.26, I was hoping for 12M and turns out I was actually throwing 13.71 as a new PB. 5 of the 6 attempts I was in the 13.50-13.71 range. Feels so good and it's the fire I needed to actually see how well I can do once i learn how to spin. What a fantastic feeling.
Online coaching
Has anyone ever done any online coaching? Such as Throwers university, Joe Maxwell, Throwify? I’m looking for someone only in the off season. If so, how did it go and about how much did it cost?
Standing throw help.
I believe I am releasing the shot with to high of a trajectory, is this because of my high neck placement? Any other tips are appreciated. I dont remember how to glide. Otherwise I would do that. I have a small meet this Saturday just to learn, set a baseline and whatever but I'd at least like to have a decent showing.
Begginer Shuffle vs Glide
So i started a month ago. At first i did 7.75m power stance and 9m glide. I improved to 9.70 power stance in 2 weeks but my glide stayed behind and is the same as standing throw, for like next 2 weeks i didnt add anything to the distance but i did shuffle throw today and it was 10 meters should i do more shuffle right now or still try to improve the glide.
