Rotational Shot Put Technical Model
The rotational shot put isn’t just about raw power—it’s about precision, sequencing, and controlled energy transfer. In this in-depth guide, we break down the six key phases of the throw, highlighting essential coaching points, optimal body positions, and common technical errors.
Coaching Circular Throws: Discus, Shot Put, and Hammer Throw
The Circular Throws (Discus, Shot Put, and Hammer) are events demanding a blend of strength, timing, coordination, and technique. To optimise performance in these disciplines, coaches shouldfocus on key technical elements, phases of movement, and biomechanical principles. This article looks at the core coaching concepts and unique considerations for each throw, with insights derived from elite throwers and supported by biomechanical research.
