From the back of the ring to the arm strike, Mastering the Shot Put details a step-by-step teaching progression with beginning, intermediate, and advanced drills and demonstrations, as well as exercises to build specific throwing strength. Reviewing both the long-short and short-long glide techniques, the DVD is designed to provide an understanding of both the lift-rotate and rotate-lift drive phases. The DVD features the same drill series that Coach Judge uses for each technical pattern. The drills, which are clearly and concisely explained and demonstrated in the DVD, have been employed by Coach Judge during his career to help develop both men and women Olympic athletes in the shot put. The DVD includes drills for both the glide and the rotational technique.
