The A-Drill for glide shot put

Hey I posted on your other thread, but lets keep all of this in one post so others can find it too! Thanks for the tag /u/MHath I wouldn't have seen it otherwise! Alright! Good video to break down here. So really there are 4 things that stood out to me that I'd like to talk about. 1) Here is your gather in the back. I think you do a good job on this. You can see you're doing what we call "unseating" basically you crouch and start to fall backwards. Now you can do more of this and really this goes hand in hand with my 2nd point. 2) If you were my athlete THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I saw in that video was you leaving the back.

Work on changing your weight in your power position. The majority of your weight should be on your right leg, to the point where you can freely pick your left foot up and put it down. You don't want to have your weight centered. A great way to work on getting in a good power position from your glide is the A drill.

Questions regarding throwing footwork drills (repost) Rn I'm doing Glide shot put A-drills and Back-to-Middle Drills. How long should I do them for, and how frequently?
