Becoming a Champion Discus Thrower - Beyond the Basics

with John Frazier,
University of Tennessee Women's Track & Field Coach

Coach John Frazier; one of the country's top discus throw coaches is gifted in his creative approach to presenting teaching progressions that lead to successful mastery of the discus throw. Frazier begins his presentation with a five-drill basic warm-up routine that combines stretching and jogging. He then proceeds with a discus throw drill progression beginning with the non-reverse stand throw, a drill that helps to build a rhythm for the throw. Frazier teaches the athlete to stay relaxed, on balance and work his lower body through the throw. Eight additional progression drills lead up to the completed throw that will afford the discus thrower maximum power and speed to increase the throwing distance. Throughout the DVD the All-American demonstrator, Sean Shields, shares his technique tips that are sure to assist with mastering the discus throw!
