How Valarie Allman BROKE The REAL Discus World Record!

Train like an OLYMPIC Thrower with our Throws University Strength Programs 🥇💪 👉 www.throwsuniversity.com/online-training

This is EXACTLY what I have been saying since I first saw her two years ago!!! I would advise all serious throwers to study dance as she did. When I was a thrower I used to describe it as "like dancing ballet with a heavy weight in one hand".

From what i've seen so far (as a coach): unlike men, where strenght plays a relevant role in order to manage a heavier discus, women relies much more on technique and speed. Comparing the 2 top-notch female throwers: Perkovic is very powerful in her throws, i dare to say she throws much more like a man do (extremely powerful block and monstrous arm sweep, like Robert Harting), while Allmann seems moving much faster in the circle especially in the reverse phase, where she makes the difference unleashing her own kinda/sorta of turbo boost wich gives her a crucial advantage. These 2 champions reminds me the achievment that Antony Washington did against Lars Riedel and Juergen Shult. While the two german guys throws like howitzers, the american moved in the circle like a twister XD

Being a distance runn we through high school and college this is really cool and impressive seeing how someone disassembles a field event and makes it understandable for others

I would love to get into contact with some of you coaches out there and ask some questions about developing technique through drills. I have a ton of work to do and I finished the season with bad technique throwing 51.06 meters in the discus. I know I’m not built like her but her technique was truly a chefs kiss. 👌🏽 I’ll be going through your channel finding videos to help me develop myself.

refined technique from start to finish.

Former Dancer. Amazing.

I also noticed that her left arm prior to her delivery goes short-long-short, instead of just long-short. maybe that might explain her better than normal rotational acceleration.

Dane, when the sweep leg comes out of the back, Valerie and Crouser both have their right foot quite high, just below their butt, but as they pivot, and their sweep leg hits 9 o'clock, the right heel is just below the left calf muscle. A lot of the drills that I've seen don't really emphasize that sweep path. They generally keep the sweep leg level like the 360 and go drills. Do you have any drills that would emphasize this path? I was thinking about putting a small box at the 12 o'clock position and sweeping over it while trying to keep the knees pointed out. I've always had a hard time getting athletes to do this transition properly. You mentioned, "getting around the left and sweeping down." Is that the coaching cue you usually use and do you have any others? Thank you for your time and you videos.

You're not wrong. There's not alot that can be criticized. And yes, some of the best technique ever. I can imagine that John Powell, father of left foot orientation out of the back, approves of this throw.

Very good analysis. Wish you could coach my daughter. Even once.

Question regarding the taping of her throwing forearm. Is that to protect her forearm because of the torque she creates with her spin?

She's fantastisch.👌🏾 Her technique is seemless.😶 It all seems so logical. 💖

Please Coach can you please Please or someone please analyze her preparation Phase I’m tryna understand it but couldn’t tell the difference between her preparation and entry really needs your help on that thank you

What's the app

I'm not a discus thrower, (I long jumped and triple jumped in high school and college), so I'm probably not in a position to make any useful comments here. You did a very nice analysis of her technique in the circle but you didn't talk about her release. One of the things I noticed that Valerie does, that seems different from other discus throwers (and I could be entirely off base here), is she seems to keep her throwing angle a bit more shallow. Also, the discus seems to come off her hand in very good alignment with her throwing angle, so that the plate never fights the air on its journey. It seems that the throws of so many other throwers end up catching air and approach a vertical orientation on their descent.

Why are you taking up twice the screen of the person who's technique we are supposed to watch?

Nice analysis of great technique. If I could be Coach Zeb for a day, the two things I would mention are 1) she does a double spin reverse--has she ever practiced some no-reverse throws--not that she should do no-reverse in comp, but it may help her get more transfer at the release rather than spilling it into the double spin, and 2) my neck hurts watching how her head comes out of the axis of rotation at release, and her head is whipped around. A little less prominent than a few years ago, but still...the head going forward may crowd the right shoulder albeit after release. I wonder about long-term cervical spine health too with that movement.

Now I am just a athlete well a old one :P .. I have had 2x daughters that did track and field a bit of all disciplines so I have seen 1000+ discus throws in my life .. And good damm that looks good the speed she gets is Astonishing

A very good teaching video. But Valarie the thrower should be very large in picture, and Coach Miller should be PIP and small, while talking and illustrating.
