Shot Put
The thing to remember for shot put is...
clean palm, dirty neck
That means the shot put is held in your fingers not your palm, and you hold it up against your neck before PUSHING it away - not throwing it. |
| Here's a shot of our own Olympic Champion doing the clean palm, dirty neck thing! |
Sprints
Keep your eyes on the prize!
Don't look around to see how everyone is getting on. Your brain needs to keep its attention on making you run as fast as you can. When you wibble, wobble along your lane you end up running further and wasting energy adjusting your balance.
Imagine you're a bullet that's just been shot out of a gun.
Relays
All the sprint advice is true for relays too
and the thing to remember is that you pass the baton from your right hand to your team mate's right hand. Oh - and remember to grab it tight and DON'T let it go until you've passed it on.
