211: Reactive throws (with René Sack) - a podcast by HMMR Media LLC
from 2019-12-02T18:17:41
It is easy to think about the throwing events as strength events. But in the end, the implement is often not that heavy. The bigger challenge is coordinating the whole body to add speed to the element through elasticity, as well as strength. German national discus coach René Sack joins this week's podcast to discuss how he thinks about this element of the throw and exchange ideas about how to address it in training.
