Teaching anyone a new skill is difficult and sometimes frustrating for both students and teachers. While discus throws can be a difficult skill to master, these tips can help you teach your high school athletes how to throw discus properly and have some fun in the process.
1. Let your athletes cross the circle. I saw some high school coaches who don't allow their athletes to do anything, except for a period of power throwing, or until they throw a certain distance. This is very boring for the athletes, allowing them to focus on throwing from a rest position, and actually throwing a discus is a dynamic movement through a circle. The power position in the full throw is very different from the power position in the bracket. Throwing or power throwing is a valuable training, but it should not be the only sport that athletes perform in training.
I like to let the junior athletes start...
