Just first off lift weights build muscle mass is key. Then perfect your technique while throwing practise practise get someone like a coash to critique your methods of release and approaches. Lots of factors are taken into consideration when throwing discus and shot put. First and foremost i recommend build mass muscle mass. If you are naturally strong then concentrate more on technique but work and balance both. strength and release.

You need to find a good coach.  Are you using the same techniques as other discus throwers you compete against?  Do you ever watch the sport on t.v. and see athletes doing anything different than you?\n\nI remember I threw discus a couple of times in high school, and when I got to my first competition, I realized that my coach didn't know jack about the discus - or the shot for that matter.  I had to teach myself.  Needless to say, I didn't do very well.

first you got to get a foot ball that fits your hand[ i dont know how old you are.] but if you hold it propperly[ fingers on the lasses] and throw it gracefully [ try throwing easy and short distances] like a baseball. it will come to you with practice[ you just cant wish it ]... GRACE is the key.... let us know how you do , joe  you wont learn this on a web site, you learn this on the practice field.

The best thing for you to do is obviously hit  a ton of balls.  Practice your serve as much or more then you do other strokes.  It has become a game of serving and returns because of the advances it racket tech.  \n        Try and play USTA tournaments in your section as often as you can.  At a minimum one each month.  Matches are key.  If you do that you will find yourself feeling less pressure then you do  when playing for your high school.  \n         Matches are also the best way to identify what you have to work on.   Do some off court training as well.  Jumping rope, sit ups , push ups.  If possible take a private lesson every once in a while.  When you take your lesson , know going into it what you would like to work on going into your lesson.  Not only practice your weak areas , but work on your strengths also so you can develop a few weapons.  The best ones are as I said before Serve, return of serve.  Make your footwork a priority . of you are quick it is a major help.  Big forehands once you get into a rally are important.

There is a great program on the usta website that is aimed at juniors. If you go to usta.com and click juniors and high performance it is right there. I do some of the exercises on that along with playing tennis at least 5-6 times a week and running and biking as well to build my endurance. Good luck and have fun.

As a coach I teach my kids to:\n1. grip the ball across all four laces.  \n2. Plant your throwing foot, step towards your target with your glove hand.\n3. Reach back with your throwing hand(stretching your arm all the way out) Keep your throwing elbow up\n4. Pull your body through with your glove hand, throwing the ball with your arm in an overhand motion(try not to drop down sidearm)\n5. Follow through, snapping your wrist at the end to give the ball a bit of backspin so that it will stay in the air a bit longer.\n\nRelease point will have to be adjusted according to who you are playing with(their height) \n\nPractice, practice, practice and have fun!...use a tennis ball(or a spongey baseball) and a brick wall.\n\nGood Luck!!

Obviously training and tons of practice.  And go to a high school with a golf team, join it, and let the coach know, he will try to help him if he is any good...

Sure\n\nTalk to the Coach.  I have a friend who started his senior year.  You'll need to train and get in shape but talk to the coach.  He'll tell you what to do.

For the discus, you have to be powerful.  That means able to put strength at high speed.  It helps to do Olympic-style lifts: snatch, and clean and jerk- these make you stronger but also more powerful so you don't lose your speed.  In my opinion, technique is everything- if you work on good technique, you can use more speed and put better power.\nThe Olympic lifts also help with high jump.  Try to be flexible in the abs- you want to be able to bend backwards over a chair.  You also don't want any weight you're not going to use.  If you did high jump alone, then you don't want too much arm strength- it's harder to jump with more weight.\nThese are actually kind of an awkward combo.  Jumping power helps in discus, but upper body strength in discus hurts high jump.

Most high schools have programs for training CC people during the winter.  They run outdoors when the weather is good, otherwise they run the indoor track.  If neither of these is an option your best bet is to find a local health club for an indoor track.  If that's not an option just invest in a treadmill.

Get involved in a summer league and/or camps. Go to all open gyms the coach holds!!! They want to see dedication! Run. Lift weights.

You better be huge if you expect to make it on 4.8. You need to cut that a lot to be a DB/WR. Fortunately you are young enough to build speed and will add size in the next few years. Start by developing your leg and mid body strength. Squats and olympic lifts are the most effective. Also work a speed building regimine. There are classes and camps that focus on this if you can afford them. Other wise get online and find one. It should definately include sprints and jumps. Otherwise take care of your body, and play lots of ball. Good luck.
