Shot put
As some of you may know we have been doing athletics this term.
Today our coach taught us about shot put and some tips!
Shot put balls are very hard and if you throw one you could easily break your wrist.
Valerie Adams is New Zealand shot put star!
If you have held a shot put ball before did you realise how heavy it is?
Today we were using different shot put balls for our lesson and all I could say is that it would probably be 90% lighter then a normal shot put ball!
We learnt something called dirty neck , dirty fingers , clean palms!
What this means is that you should be holding the shot put ball with your fingers and putting it on your neck. Your palms should not be touching the shot put ball.
We also learnt that you should twist your arm so you could see your wrist and palm.
You shouldn't throw the ball. Just rock then...PUSH!
As I said before if you throw an actual shot put ball you could break your hand.
So we have now come to the conclusion of this post remember these simple steps!
1.Dirty fingers
2.Dirty neck
3.clean palm
4.Twist your hand so that you could see your palm
5.Don't throw the ball.
So if you are doing athletics maybe this can help you with shot put!
