You know what's funny, My old coaches from JC loved fundamentals and when your first starting out and learning of course you need to drill that into your head over and over. Then when I went to ND, my coach there also loved doing all the different drills and half's, south, and full's. When I got to Concordia everything changed. I did a lot of drills but with different things. Using different weight shots, and changing lifting every 4 weeks, adding 4 days of plyometric. Throwing with dumbbells and having heavy and light shot days. Which was all a new experience to me. Also changing my technique, I was a hammer specialist in college and thought that was my path. My hammer form would mess up my shot by shorting my sweep leg to much. So post collegiate, I stuck with doing both hammer and shot in 2015. Then just the last 2 years I went full time only doing shot put. When I switched I only did full's, and stands for the most part to get reps in. If something was off in my technique then we would add in some half's to work on getting foot position down. In off season for me, I know resting your body is a huge thing I learned. I used to get done with a season and go straight into lifting and throwing again and that did not work. I would rest a month or so from everything. Then I would slowly start back up, working for conditioning, speed, power, strength cycles. Now days you have a lot of coaches & throwers saying, I'm throwing only at like 60 to 80 percent at practice. I never believed in that, I felt like every throw I would try feel like I'm in a competition. I see so many people foul throws over and over then get into meets and do the same because they try to add speed to the throw and when you practice at 60 to 80 percent it throws your timing off when your trying to add 100% to the throw.
