Lesson 3:
Shot Put Turn Technique: Creating Rotational Momentum
In this segment, participants delve into the second stage of the shot put throw: the turn. The instructor emphasizes the importance of generating rotational momentum rather than velocity, highlighting the role of the right leg in initiating the turn. Through demonstrations and explanations, participants learn to maintain separation between the upper and lower body while focusing on creating space and torque. Key concepts include sweeping the right leg wide to maximize space, keeping the shoulders level, and preventing the left leg from becoming the primary source of rotation. Participants are encouraged to visualize concepts such as having a beach ball between the thighs to facilitate understanding of body positioning and movement. Additionally, techniques for maintaining proper alignment and avoiding common errors, such as dropping the shoulder or pulling the head, are discussed to ensure efficient execution of the turn.
