Any discus throwers on here?

Current or former throwers, I’m seeking some input. Looking for some useful drills to teach my kid. This is her first year in track and field, and she is doing well in the discus competitions. Her throws have been good, in the 60’ range (just turned 12), so I’m not looking to fix what isn’t broke, but maybe get in some drills or footwork to build consistency in repeating motion.

60 feet would've won gold in the middle school meet I was at yesterday. By 6 feet actually. I'll be following this thread because my son is a thrower as well. Discus is his worst, he sucks (his words) 
His best is shot and his form is horrible on that as well, but he medals, through strength advantages over kids around his age. I've never done field so I can't offer any advice.

There are a lot of YT videos she can watch to help work on form. I would recommend reaching out to local HS coaches and seeing if there are any clinics nearby. LSU usually does a short one in the summer. New throws coach is pretty good.
Heck I would even reach out to some of the LSU athletes if you're local.
