Advanced Throws 2-Pack

with Larry Judge,
C.S.C.S., USA Track & Field National Chairman for Coaches Education (Throwing Events),
former University of Florida Women's Throws Coach

Building off of the basic concepts presented in his excellent Speed Glide Shot Put video series, USATF Master Coach Larry Judge takes his shot put instruction to another level! From the back of the ring to the arm strike, this video shows a step-by-step teaching progression with advanced drills and demonstrations as well as exercises to build specific throwing strength. Learn about the long-short and short-long glide techniques, build your understanding of both the lift-rotate and rotate-lift drive phases, and use the same drill series that Coach Judge uses for each technical pattern. Coach Judge clearly and concisely explains, teaches, and demonstrates the drills he has used in developing both men and women Olympic athletes in the shot put. Along with shot put specific instructions, Judge demonstrates a functional warm-up routine, plus a section for the left-handed thrower. He even includes a section for frustrated gliders wondering about the "spin" or rotational shot put technique. Enhancing Judge's instruction is demonstration by Olympic level athletes and footage of elite throwers in competition. Judge's training and technical methodology has developed eight Olympians and over 100 All-Americans and he has coached a shot putter in the last three Olympic Games!

In this advanced presentation (part II of Mechanics for Weight and Hammer Throw), USATF Master Coach Larry Judge simplifies the complex technical issues. Judge's comprehensive presentation covers everything from a functional warm-up to release strategies and addresses some of the "finer technical points" that are a must for a championship performance. Judge includes drills for the winds, the entry, the work phases and the release. The purpose of each drill is thoroughly explained while precisely demonstrated by Olympians Candice Scott and Erin Gilreath. Judge includes meet footage of record-breaking throws in both events.
