Goal One: Shot Put Grip And Placement
1. Holding the shot put
The shot is held at the base of the fingers, not the palm.
The fingers are slightly spread apart with the thumb for support.
The hand will be bent back in the cocked position when holding the shot. It looks like you are carrying a pizza.
2. Neck placement
-Raise the shot above your head.
-Lower the shot straight down until it is under your jaw.
-Push the shot into your neck.
-Lift your elbow parallel to the floor. Don't squeeze your elbow towards your back.
-Check to see that your thumb is pointing down towards your clavicle.
-The palm should be pointing towards the throwing direction.
