Improve your discus technique by learning how to 'sprint' out of the back of the ring while keeping a proper shin angle. This is a critical element of the full throw or spin. Having a high shin angle is one of the most common errors made by beginning throwers (and even more advanced ones).

Elite discus throwers are in control throughout the entire throw and perform a lot of work on the ground. Driving or “sprinting” off the back of the ring, in control, and with the correct shin angle is paramount. If a thrower is off-balance or too high on the first turn, they are no longer in control of the throw, gravity is.

In this video Coach Bedard provides some helpful tips on how to perform the discus full throw and shares what he looks for when a thrower lands in the power position. Featuring demonstrations by Olympian Casey Malone.
