Vesteinn Hafsteinsson: Discus Throw Mechanics, Technique & Drills (Practical Session)
2019 International Conference of Athletics Excellence Lecture Series
In this 7 part, 75:00 video series one of the world’s greatest throws coaches walks his audience through a discus throw practical technique & drill session. He starts by looking at three of his world class throwers (all with different body types - one is D. Stahl) and asks the audience to decide which they should model… this moves into a concept review (Basics, LRLR Concept, The 4 Step Approach) followed by the ‘Main Event’: a frame by frame technical instruction using Gerd Kanter as a model, while working with a developmental thrower. Vesteinn walks the thrower through every detail of his ideal technical model broken down into 8 key phases: The Swing (stance, connection, weight shift, separation), The Turn (connection, left foot, right foot, position, cueing), The Sprint 1 (attacking pos’n, L foot & hip, R leg, discus & shoulder pos’n), The Sprint 2 (air time, L knee, L leg, right arm), The Sprint 3 (landing on R, wrap, L leg, R foot, arms), Power Position (R arm, hips, L foot, R foot), Release 1 (release, block, ground contact, shoulders), Release 2 (flight, reverse). Each phase includes instruction on specific drills to develop each. He ends the session with a 10 step learning progression for beginners… This video series is a truly amazing wealth of information for throwing coaches at all levels.
