I juts graduated high school and am throwing at the college level now and want to buy a few discs to practice my self with. What are good but affordable options. I would rather not spend $100’s if possible.

2KG. It's been 40 days since my last post and I've been emphasizing my high point and not dropping my arm out the back. Wanted to check in and hopefully get some new perspectives on what to now work towards for this incoming season.

Nice throw from the ring that holds the current world record. Gives him something to work for.

I’ve been struggling with this for a while and I just can’t seem to figure it out. My school has no coach that can teach full spin so I am almost entirely self taught. Also, any other form critique is greatly appreciated.

Recovering from a knuckle injury and trying to get back into form for indoor. What should I be working at this offseason and where should I be by the end of indoor distance wise?

My daughter is a multi sport athlete (cheer, volleyball, softball broomball, track/field) she was originally a pole vaulter but did discus at her last meet and threw 98.6 as a 7th grader, she does not want to continue with track field because of her coach, is she good enough at this age for a chance at a college scholarship if we invest into a different team other than her school team?

Transitioning from high school to college weight. Would love general advice or help specific to handling the 2kg!

I’m wanting to do AAU track next summer. My district AAU meet doesn’t offer the hammer throw. Is there any other way I can still qualify for bigger meets?

Stuck in a slump right now with progression, haven’t really been able to dissect what’s up with technique and feel like I’m focusing on the wrong things right now.

Never really was much of a discus guy but here we are

NFHS posted these changes yesterday. From the article:

“In an effort to reduce risk of injury during warmups in the shot put and discus, all attempts now must be made from inside the circle and facing the sector. No backward, over-the-head attempts will be allowed.
The committee noted that warm-up attempts by athletes standing on the toe board with their backs to the sector are dangerous because competitors cannot see if the area is clear before throwing the implement. With the rule change next year, a clear line of sight will be available to make sure the landing area is safe prior to an attempt. 
Another safety-related change approved by the committee addresses the growing use of foreign substances on shoes in the throwing events. Language has been revised to provide coaches and officials with clearer guidance.”

This might be a crazy dumb idea, but lately I’ve been wanting to set a new athletic goal for myself, and javelin throwing keeps coming to mind despite never completing in track and field

I’m a former professional pitcher to and keep it short my command sucked but I had a big arm for anyone who knows baseball I was upto 99mph off the mound and had a 104 crowhop.

Some of my other current athletic numbers are:

475 pounds for 3 reps on squat
110-pound dumbbells for 6 reps on dumbbell bench
1.5-second laser-timed 10-yard sprint from a dead start
I’m curious if anyone in here knows if there’s a correlation between baseball and javelin throwing, I would think so but then again I’ve never stepped foot on a track lol.

My realistic first goal would obviously just be to learn the event properly, stay healthy and see whether I have any natural ability for it and maybe setting some crazy goals depending on how it looks.

What would the first steps look like? after
poking around online it seems that this sport is far more niche than I thought haha

I’d appreciate honest feedback, especially from javelin coaches, throwers or anyone who has seen former baseball players transition into the event.

Hi everyone,
I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have gone through something similar, either as athletes or coaches.
I'm 30 years old and used to compete at national level in javelin. My PB is 67m, and I was a multiple-time U20 italian Champion. I stopped competing about six years ago because life took a different direction (university, work, etc.).
About a year ago I decided to come back, not because I expect to become an elite athlete again, but because I genuinely missed throwing.
Some things have gone well:

I've improved my body composition after a diet (lost fat while maintaining muscle).
My strength is coming back (snatch 70kg, squat 8x100kg, bench 80kgx8)
I'm throwing around 53-54 m in training less than a year back.
However, I've also realized something important.
I probably came back too quickly to throwing without rebuilding the athletic foundation first.
During this year l've dealt with: 3x adductor issues, and now lateral knee pain after hiking, which forced me to skip what would have been my first competition in six years.
This experience made me rethink my whole project.
Instead of simply trying to throw farther, I'm considering building a proper long-term team:
a strength & conditioning coach focused on athletic development,
a javelin technical coach (even if only every couple of weeks),
physiotherapist for injury prevention.
My long-term goal would be to become a healthy, competitive athlete again and hopefully get back above 60 m.
My questions are:
Has anyone here successfully returned after a long break (5+ years)?
If you could start over at 30, would you invest first in athletic development or technical coaching?
How would you balance training with a full-time job and family life?

I'd love to hear your experiences, especially from athletes who came back later in life rather than people who never stopped competing.
Thanks a lot for those who will share their experience.

I’m Making a throws journal and I’m making a big list of cues and I need y help
