Throwing a discus is a complex and technical process that requires a combination of strength, speed, balance, and coordination. Here are the basic steps to throwing a discus: ​ Grip: Hold the discus with your fingers spread wide apart and your thumb pointing toward the center. The discus should rest on the palm of your hand with your fingers curled around the rim. Stance: Stand inside the throwing circle with your feet shoulder-width apart and facing away from the direction you want to throw. Your non-throwing foot should be in front of your throwing foot, with your weight on your back foot. Wind-up: Begin to spin around in the circle, using your non-throwing foot as a pivot. Keep your arms extended and your head facing forward. Delivery: As you complete the spin, shift your weight onto your front foot and release the discus. Snap your wrist at the end of the release to create more spin and power. Follow-through: Continue to spin around after the release, and gradually slow down until you come to a stop. It is important to note that discus throwing requires a lot of practice and proper training to master. That is why working with our coaches help you to learn proper technique and to avoid injury.
