re: Any discus throwers on here?

Solid advice. She does the 400 and discus and I’m proud of that. Most of the girls in her class just want to play tennis, as it’s “cute and fun” and what not (even though I know real tennis is a grind).

She has strong legs, hips and butt, and I’ve been hammering the mindset that her power derives from the base. So it’s really been easy for her to repeat motion and stay consistent in throw length and direction.

I’ll get a routine down for strength training and preach consistency. Eventually I would think she will naturally pick up the javelin as well.
