Putting the Shot by skipt07

Putting the Shot

Our granddaughter is participating in track again this year. She competes in the discus, javelin, and the shot. I did a series of shots to catch it on its trajectory.
Neat capture

A nice capture

Nice composite. A good friend of mine did shot put in high school. He coached for a long time.

@danette - She needs some pointers on her three events as the coach is worthless. All he does is critique and tells her she needs to go to practice, which she always does. He expects upperclassmen to teach the lower grades unless you are very talented then you have his undivided attention.

Great editing and a lovely shot. Shame the coach is so negative. It can be so demoralising

@skipt07 my friend suggested that she look on YouTube for the type of techniques that she uses. I wish he were close by to you! If you have a specific question,Iā€™d be happy to ask.

@danette - I think her favorite is the jav. We knew a guy who used to attend our church who taught the throwers at a neighboring high school. Sadly he died a short time ago. His teams always did well.
She has asked the kids who are there to help but they tell her that they see nothing wrong with her footing or throwing technique. That's what is frustrating. I did find a guy who uploaded 7 videos. I think he is talking to a more experienced thrower, but maybe she can pick something up.

@skipt07 Iā€™m sorry she has to do this without much help. Sometimes we can learn, even when it is over our heads!
