Re:CanuckHT

Well, since you've made this personal( my logic ends. Let's eaxamine this a little deeper. It is a little rediculous to think that the best way to learn a fine motor skill, especially for the first time, at full speed. How can you expect to feel something if you don't even know what you are searching for? Is this by the words of a mentor and just keep doing it until it is correct? You can find these feelings associated with the forces that were described in the article? I will say that if he can do that, it is beyond me but seeing is believing.
As for the record, I am not challenging his record of accomplishments. Who would do that on such decorated people. But when every "best athlete is filtered in your direction, it makes your resume easier to fill. I don't pretend to know tha hammer and am willing to concede that to anyone. I've had limited coaching and no throwing experience with the implement. I have read his article on the discus and his statements about no need for the rt foot pivot or pivot in the center. I whole -heartedly disagree with this observation. That is not the issue I'm making here. I'm only suggesting that all coaches make biomechanical judgements on the way the body's lever system works and not allegence to a coach's record. Again, not judging anything ( other than the center pivot) article) about Coach B, just attempting to challenge trthrowers to look deeper than the resume to find biomechanical answers.
ps I've seen some biomechanical studies taht were so incorrect becasue the people running them had no idea of the proper tech objectives of the throw in the first place.
