Technically Speaking

So after months and months of training constantly being told "it's not strength, it's technique that counts" I've finally come to a point where I can say I'm getting somewhere. Of course my technique isn't perfect but as my throwing becomes noticeably further than usual I can say that my technique has definitely improved and to the point where I can say its satisfying.

Coming to the end of my 1st year in track and field and my last year in the under 16 age category, I'm ready to face the under 20 realm on challenges. I've noticed a significant improvement in my throwing and without a doubt, my hard work is paying off.

As I enter into this new phase of competition I've decided to set new goals and push myself to new limits. With my 1st year of under 20 approaching, I've decided that there must be no playing around while training. While at the gym i must concentrate on workouts that would improve my technique more so than my strength.

Having been exposed to the gliding technique , a lot of effort is being put into mastering it. The problem with such technique isn't getting it down, its very easy to do, however, applying it with your throwing is where the problem persists. With practice comes perfection so in time to come i'll be a pro!

From the constant training and hard work I've learnt that techniques is really what counts while gym training is simply the fuel. Just as a car needs gas to go we need the gym to throw.
