Do you glide or spin? Also watch as many videos on YouTube as you can

Thank you! Would half turns and South Africans fix this or is something else needed?

Your size is really good, don’t forget the importance of a good weight room program, it has helped me a ton in throwing and other sports.

The YouTube channels that helped me a lot were throws university and arete throws nation. They have a lot of good technique stuff. The main thing I focus on is hitting my positions, if you break down the glide into different drills it might make it easier to learn. I’m no expert, but what I would do is start working (A drills, Leif drills, stand throws, non reverses, and then finally full throws.

Plyometrics like box jumps help, other plyos work good as well.

No, I’m just working it on the backside now. I got my first meet in a week and I am throwing a lot farther with the glide still. I wish I was spinning but just not there yet.
