• Why not have all athletes try it out?• Good discus throwers may want to avoid• Athletes who lack brute strength or
explosiveness

The Basics
• Start from power position and work backward• For all practical purposes, the grip and power
position can be taught the same for both glide and spin– Shot placement may differ
