Becoming a Champion Shot Putter - Beyond the Basics!

Harlis Meaders,
Florida State University Associate Head Coach

With the help of a former-FSU All-American athlete, Coach Meaders breaks down the elements of the rotational style shot put for athletes at all levels. The starting position in the circle is the foundation of proper shot putting. Pivot drills with cones are demonstrated and are essential for establishing a solid base. Coach Meaders uses a variety of cone locations to teach different parts of the initial phases of footwork. Dozens of teaching points are made with the use of a stick. Because footwork is so crucial to this event, small cones are used throughout the DVD. Other props used in demonstrations are a cup of water, medicine balls, bungee cord, softballs and large barrels in the circle to strengthen various teaching points.
