I am having trouble getting the point across about how important keeping your weight back is in the discus. When pivoting on the right foot in the middle of the ring, my kids tend to hit their power position with their weight too far forward causing their release to be very low. I keep teaching the reverse C position; we work pivot/mirror drills but this seems to be a tough one. Any suggestions?

a cue i find successful is to have the kids keep their chest over their knee when kicking by. or, i'll take sidewalk chalk and draw a circle about 3/4 through the ring and explain to them that their upper body weight should stay centered in that small circle.

I have my kids lift their left (blocking) leg off the ground or have them do a throw while standing only on their pivot leg. This makes them stay back on their back foot. Try that.

I have used this technique and it worked wonders, not only for keeping the weight back, but also, somehow, for flattening out the throw. Most kids HATE having to throw form the power leg only, as it is so awkward, but one of my gals asked if she can throw like that in a meet! haha
