Discus

I chose this event because i’m really bad at it and kinda wanna improve

the proper technique for this event is

1. how to hold the discus

• Place discus in your throwing hand
• Spread fingers out with index finger inline with wrist
• Place fingers first knuckles over the disc

2. releasing the discus

• When releasing the discus have your palm down
• Squeeze the discus out (bar of soap)
• The disc will come off the index finger
• The disc will spin in a clockwise direction for a right handed thrower

3. drills used to teach the grip and release excellent time for a competition

Arm swings – Use this drill to teach about centrifugal force
a) The thrower stands with feet shoulder width apart
b) Place the disc into throwing hand
c) Swing the disc level with the shoulders back and forth catching it in your left hand
d) The athlete should feel the discus pushing out on the hand

Discus bowling – Use this drill for proper discus release.
a) The thrower will place the discus in his hand with proper placement
b) The thrower will bowl the discus to his partner that is standing 15 feet away
c) Remember to squeeze the discus out making sure the discus rolls off the index finger and does not wobble
d) Once the thrower becomes proficient at 15 feet move the partners farther away form each other or have the thrower bowl at a target

Throws for height – Use this drill for proper release of the discus
a) The thrower stands with feet shoulder width apart 
b) Place the disc into throwing hand
c) Swing the discus forward and back next to your body two times
d) After two swings throw the discus straight up with a proper release remembering to squeeze the discus out. Make sure the throwing arm is straight

Skip throws – Use this drill for proper discus release.
a) the thrower stands with feet shoulder width apart and facing perpendicular to the throwing direction
b) place the disc into throwing hand
c) swing the disc level with the shoulders back and forth catching it in your left hand
d) After two swings throw the disc close to the ground with proper release remembering to squeeze the disc out and keep the palm flat
