Shot Put Release: Can You Pick The Error?
This video is based on the recent Coaching Young Athletes post: Shot Put Release: Can You Pick The Error?
It is a narrated slide show presentation lasting less than 10 minutes, covering shot put release technique, errors, cues & drills.
This resource is for athletics coaches, school teachers and parents who want to know a bit more about how to help kids release a shot effectively.
I highly recommend that the article Shot Put Release: Can You Pick The Error? be read in conjunction with this video.
