Best is to have them taped to a mirror where they can compare their positions in the mirror with those positions in the photos.
Some of the videos show throwers being led through learning progressions, changing their positions gradually until it all clicks.
SHOT PUT AND DISCUS
The rotational shot and discus are very similar in positions at the back of the circle.
There are some distinct differences however, in the timing due to the heavier wieght and shorter radius of the path of the shot.
This course will only focus on the similarities between the two.
