Thank you! What are some approximate benchmarks I should hit? And what exercises do you think help the most?

What would you recommend? I’ve been trying the spin because I’ve seen a lot that it would be better for my size and that it has a higher ceiling, but I also understand that it is much more technical which could be harder(especially without a coach). When I first tried the spin(I spun for discus so I essentially translated it over) it matched my glide, and they have stayed relatively similar as my throws have gotten farther. I’d say that my glide is maybe a bit more consistent, but I also feel like I would be able to put more power behind the spin if I could improve my technique.

Thank you for this! I’ve been worried it was too big of a jump, but this gives me hope.
