1 Technical Progression Workshop Throws Shot Put, Discus and Javelin

2 Position & Context of Workshop Position Sits after Athletics Coach and Coaching in Running Fitness You will hopefully have attended the Movement Skills Workshops prior to this workshop Context and Structure 4 Hours in Length (of which three hours is practical) Delivers Basic Levels of Speed, Endurance, Jumps and Throws Speed: Starts, Full flight Running and Hurdles Endurance: Running, Steeple Chase and Race Walking Jumps: High, Long and Triple Jump Throws: Shot Put, Discus and Javelin (Mainly from Standing Throw) Delivered as part of a full days offering of Coach Development.

3 Workshop Outcomes Develop greater understanding of how Physical Conditioning can help develop technique Explore the Technical Progressions for Shot Put, Javelin and Discus Look at the sequential progressions and how these may differ from athlete to athlete Use effective drills and activities to develop the: Grip, Stance, Movement, Delivery and Release Practice Coaching Observation Skills. Practice Intervention Skills.

4 One question many of us may have as coaches, especially those new to coaching is.

5 How do I get an athlete from This to This

6 How do I get an athlete from This to This

7 How do I get an athlete from This to This

8 How do I get an athlete from This to This

9 In this workshop we will show you how to help athletes move from..

14 So how are we going to do this? Classroom: Look at the underpinning movement principles of Throws Classroom: Look at the recommend Technical Progressions for Shot Put, Javelin and Discus Practical: Explore drills and activities which help develop: Grip Stance (Standing Throw and Power Positions) Movement Delivery and Release Practical: Develop your coaching eye Practical: Discuss coaching interventions

15 Physical Preparation The quality of movement patterns and movement control at speed are central to athletic performance and are built on: Strength and awareness to execute movement under control (stability) Coordination Range of movement All force generation in athletics is absorbed and or transferred through the centre of the body to the extremities. Develop effective coordination, range of movement, correct posture and strength in all areas of the body so that athletes can execute the drills and training loads you are asking of them Every athlete is different and at different stages of their physical, technical and behavioural development and need to be managed accordingly. Athletes must have the physical competence to do the technical stuff and the technical competence to do the tactical stuff...in that order

17 Underpinning Principles of Throws

18 Balance & Stability A larger base of support allows the CoG to move more in a given direction, without losing stability. Balance is achieved when the CoG is over the supporting base. The lower the centre of gravity (CoG), the greater the stability.

19 Generating Force The speed of a ball, body or implement is determined by the speed of the last part of the body to move at the time of contact or release. Therefore, the build up of force or transfer of momentum along a chain, from one body segment to the next, is critical. Each body part should be moved at the instant the previous segment begins to slow down, with larger, slower body parts moving first, and smaller, lighter, faster parts moving later in the chain

20 A longer lever and length of effective time over which force is applied lead to greater speed at the end point. Backswing, full extension of the limbs at release/contact and complete follow-through facilitate this effect, as do artificial additions to the limb (e.g. a racquet, bat, club, stick). Generating Force

21 A force applied either above or below the centre will cause it to spin or rotate. The further the force from the centre, the greater the turning effect or spin. Rotation

22 Shot Put What are some key area of observation and Technical Progression for Shot Put? All descriptions for this workshop will be based on a right handed thrower

23 Shot Put What are some key area of observation for Shot Put? Grip Shot rests on fingers and not palm Shot placed under the chin at the side of the neck and with elbow high Power Position Left toes are in line with the heel of the right foot; Turn shoulders away from the direction of the throw (starting position); Chin, Knee, Toe (Power Position); Transfer Move from Low to High Slow to Fast Legs before Arms Delivery Push the arm long and high extending at the elbow, then wrist and finally flicking with the fingers

26 Discus What are some key area of observation and Technical Progression for Discus?

27 Discus What are some key area of observation for Discus? Grip Rests rim of discus on the finger pads (tips) Spreads fingers out equally across the discus Power Position Left toes are in line with the heel of the right foot; Turn shoulders away from the direction of the throw (starting position); Chin, Knee, Toe (Power Position); Transfer Move from Low to High Slow to Fast Legs before Arms Delivery Keep the arm 'long and relaxed' throughout the throw; Pull the arm through fast and last

30 Javelin What are some key area of observation and Technical Progression for Javelin?

31 Javelin What are some key area of observation for Javelin? Grip Grip the Javelin at the rim of the binding cord with thumb and either first or second finger. Hold the Javelin back with extended arm and palm facing upwards Power Position Hold the javelin back with an extended arm and palm high Stand side on with feet shoulder width apart, left foot in front with foot pointing forwards Transfer Extend the right leg at the knee and ankle (in that order) to drive the right hip forward over a straightened left leg Use the legs before Arms Delivery Keep the body in a high (straight) release position; Ensure the elbow remains above the shoulder throughout the throw
