Pillar one, two, putting together full throws. One of the things we're going to do is kind of work into our South African. We're going to kind of get a little of that halfway point. And one of the things we like to do is keep the foot here so that we teach the athlete how to feel kind of the foot come here. It starts at six, they wind, it kind of turns, and it turns over to here so that the hips follow this way. Simple thing, that's it. Some people like to do it this way. We do a combo now where you can start here, wind and turn the foot so you learn how to create that rotate in that linear path. So at either way, one of the key things when we're doing a South African, so we like to start here with our feet out so that the sweep leg is already coming in this path. And so what we do is we wind and we still get that foot to about 530. That allows this position and we can come around. The South African is one of those useful drills in the sense that it teaches you how to kind of wind and then teaches you how to, you know, create that linear with the sprint leg and that rotational with the sweep leg and then again work on landing on top of the axis. That's the key. So you'll see some people who really kind of over-rotate it and then come around and wind up in a pretty good position. We'll get our discus and we'll again, we'll think about our chain reaction. We're going to put, we'll start out with this position here. Again, notice where the hips are. The hips are facing about eight o'clock. And so I'm going to wind this way and then I'm going to see that discus down here more at the low point because I'm going to rotate the foot here, kick that sweep leg up to the high point and you're going to see how I'm going to come around and rotate. Now you notice when I do these drills and I'm walking through it, I'm not eating up a ton of circle because that's not the point. The motion and the speed is what's going to help you take up more ring. When we throw, how quickly can we get back on the ground, right? We don't want to spend a lot of time doing this kind of thing because the time in the air is less efficient and slower. And we want to be able to get our feet back in contact with the ground as fast as possible. And that's how you're going to be getting across the circle with more power and speed. So here's your two options. You can start here. You get your sweep leg out. We're in this position or we're going to be in this position and you're going to feel, and that teaches you how to feel that knee blow position. So I like both. It's all about what works best, how we hold and drag the discus. We don't want to be carrying the discus. We want to drag the discus. And the reason being is we want to be able to create that stretch against the discus. When you get kids that carry the discus incorrectly, it can really plague their technical development because they're tending to create a different kinetic or kinesthetic feel. And what we're going to do in this video is we talk about we just are in preparation for an online virtual camp and a lesson where we're teaching how critical this is for throwers. And so we're just going to take some of that video today and show you. Now, one of the key things we talked about is avoiding cupping. And that is a natural thing. When you get used to holding the discus for the first time, young throwers will tend to cup. And so what you're going to do is you're going to want to avoid the cupping. So you're going to want to do a series of simple exercises that are going to teach you how to do that. And that's what we're going to dive into now. I have this adorable young child that is going to be my demonstrator today, which is my daughter. And she has no real throwing experience. So we're going to be using her as an example of how to hold the discus. And we're going to go through a number of different drills. And I have one of my athletes, high school athlete. He just started training with us this season, Ethan. And it's a good example of looking at a brand new beginning thrower and what we want to do to develop that thrower. And then what we want to do with a thrower that's trying to push 140, 50, 60, 70 feet and how we want to make sure that we're really focusing on those details of how we're holding and carrying, or we say dragging the discus because you don't want to carry the discus. You want to drag the discus. And so I'm going to have these guys try to do the same thing. So you guys are going to take the discus. We have it in our fingertips, thumb kind of on the edge. A lot of you guys don't have the thumb on there. It's got to be closer to the edge. So you kind of feel that. And what we're going to do is we're going to turn the discus like this. And we're going to point the discus down. So we're like this. So see how Ella, yeah, perfect example. So watch what we're going to do. We're going to, everybody's going to hold start with their discus like this, but Ella's holding it like this. And it's not to be, we're going to extend it out. And then we're going to tilt it down. But so you got to keep your arm straight and you got to keep the discus down. I'm taller than you. So your discus is going to be down there. Okay. So you're going to do this way. We're going to turn and see how she's wanting to cup. And where's that discus going falling out? So look at E. So Ethan's got more experience. He's done a nice job adjusting. He feels how that, and now he's creating a little ledge for his discus. Now let's look at Ella. She's going to feel the same thing. And she's got to get her thumb. So look at me, Ella. What you want to feel is you want to hold the discus like this, but see what she's doing. She's got her thumb down instead of her thumb open, and then you angle the wrist. So you're going to hold it like this and then you're going to turn. But see when I'm turning, you got to keep your thumb up on the edge. You got to keep your fingertips on the edge of the discus. So you got to get comfortable and hold it in your hand. So she's going to go to the automatic cup. One of the things, again, we're just going to be working on that position. And again, here's that simple exercise here where you're bringing the discus up and you're getting comfortable. And then you can just wind the athlete can wind back and forth. And when they bring the discus, try to focus on keeping the discus off the wrist. So you're going to notice that when I'm doing this and I'm winding, I'm keeping the discus off my wrist. So go ahead and give that a try. And literally go ahead and get your get a discus.  And he's going to wind like that. He's going to keep his discus arm long. And you're going to notice Ethan tends to kind of do this when he brings it back. And we got to get him used to being comfortable here and how easy it is to learn how to carry the discus. But the problem is, oftentimes people aren't getting comfortable. Now, depending on your hand size and all that kind of stuff, that can definitely have an influence. But it just means a little bit more practicing finding your comfort spots. And as we pointed out things in the video, the idea is to get comfortable with that discus so that it's something that you don't think about. So then you could actually work on technical development like your six pillars of the sorting chain reaction. So thanks so much for watching.

From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny dollar Oh, yeah, Lieutenant. I've been trying to get you anything new on the Forbes murder How about the diamond still missing so far we're batting zero any suspects. Oh, yes, indeed. Who is it? What do you mean, Lieutenant? How many guests would you say would it Andrew Forbes party last evening? 60 then we have 60 suspects. Oh great And every week day night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance Investigator yours truly Johnny dollar From special investigator Johnny dollar location Cape Town, South Africa to the home office Tri-Eastern indemnity Associates assignment the star of Cape Town matter Expense account continued item seven care fair for my hotel to police headquarters So far in this job. I've been a big brilliant nothing I figured lieutenant van tile of the Cape Town police might be able to supply a few answers But as it turned out all he had on his mind was questions Now mr. Dollar suppose you sit down and explain your connection with this affair sure lieutenant I can make it short if not sweet Andrew Forbes was an international playboy. I am well aware of that Cape Town has entertained mr. Forbes before or vice versa Well, then you probably also know that he recently inherited a very large diamond known as the star of Cape Town Yes The company I represent was carrying the insurance on that stone a hundred and fifty thousand dollars They didn't like the way Forbes was flashing it around. They thought he was a bit too careless with it I was trying to talk him into using a little common sense and that is why you came here to Cape Town Yeah, but it looks like I've struck out struck fours is dead and the diamonds gone Are you at the party from some time before Forbes murder until afterwards that's right you stayed in the main room the entire time well, yeah, oh Now look lieutenant. I'd hardly fly all the way here to bump off a guy That's questions mr. Dollar just questions. Yeah, but what I need right now is answers as do I? These other guests at Forbes party. Did you know anything? No? Well, I met a girlfriend of his named Sheila and a couple other people were pointed out to me Who are they? Oh Forbes older sister Agatha for one a real aristocratic type you can cross her off your list Oh, yeah, she disapproved of Forbes. All right, but not to the extent of sticking a knife in him. I'm pretty sure It would have been beneath her dignity if nothing else Besides she didn't leave the main room during the party either Then there was Helen Helen who I never did find out her last name She arrived at the party late and Forbes seemed to zero in on her right away zero in I mean He spent the rest of the evening with her they danced for a while, then they went out on the terrace and Come to think of it. I never did see her come back inside And I didn't see Forbes again either until I went to his Roman found it dead I see we shall try to find this Helen Can you describe her? Well, I didn't get nearly as close a look as I'd have liked to oh Yeah, from what I could see a real doll lieutenant dark hair and turn of nose fine complexion. Mr. Dollar We need an objective description not an appreciation At the time I was more interested in her as a prospect and a suspect. I see and You say you knew none of the other guests. That's right We've been unable to find any sort of guest list. Oh, don't waste your time looking there isn't any Yeah, Forbes explained that he had a charming habit of inviting whoever he ran into He said that half of the fun wasn't seeing who turned up that rather complicates matters doesn't it sure does Mr. Dollar diamond thefts are not unknown to us here in Cape Town. No, I imagine not Here are some photos of known jewel thieves Mugshots, huh, please see if you recognize any of these people as having been at the party Oh It'd be a little hard to remember You know people were drifting in and out all evening and it was Wait a minute Who's this guy? That is Julio Biac at jewel thief. Do you recognize him? Starky guy? Yeah, it sort of looks familiar. I can't seem to place him. Could he have been at the party? It's possible, but I can't be sure. Perhaps it will come to you later. I hope something comes to me sooner or later That diamond for instance But at this point I had to admit it didn't look very like one murder 60 suspects You get better odds than that on a roulette wheel. I Left headquarters and decided to walk around a little see if I could coax up some kind of ideas to my next step I went down to the waterfront looked around nice view. No ideas Then as I was walking along a narrow deserted street I realized I had company the shadow from the top of the building next to me ran along the middle of the Street, and I could see a silhouette. I stopped So did the shadow on top of the building. I started up again. So did the shadow I started edging out away from the sidewalk for a look the shadow raised its arms suddenly and I ducked a Large building tile crashed at the sidewalk right where I'd been a second ago I jumped for a rickety fire escape over my head and scrambled up to the roof Nobody in sight roof stretching out in all directions warehouses loading sheds Whoever it was could have been a block away by now Pretty ironic Somebody trying to take me out of the ball game when I didn't even know which team had the ball I went back to my hotel room two steps inside. I stopped cold I'd caught a whiff of what smelled like a pretty expensive perfume It certainly wasn't my shaving lotion. Hello Johnny. Wow Sheila Yeah Yeah, I remember now you were wearing that perfume at the party last night. I've been waiting for you Let's talk. Uh-huh any particular subject last night What happened Johnny that you were there to you remember I left before it happened. I think what do you mean?  I don't remember some of it No, you are making pretty good sense when I was talking to you Well after that I mean and you were withered enough to react when Forbes and Helen went out on the terrace together Don't Johnny Did you do it? Oh Well now that's a switch. I'm not kidding Johnny you went to his room. There's only one way you'd know that Sheila You were outside somewhere watching Yes After I left I went around in back and pretty soon Helen came out of his room She was carrying something. Oh, what don't worry. It wasn't the diamond. I was close enough to see it Even if I hadn't been I guess I'd have known you mean it was a small bottle of perfume That was always the first step perfume and always the same kind That kind you're wearing yes It's got a great name forever What happened then I walked around the garden a few minutes trying to decide whether to have it out with Andy once and for all I Started back toward the terrace, and I saw you heading for his room. So I left I said don't Johnny If I'd done it what I've told you I was out in the garden You would if you were afraid somebody'd seen you there and would tell me about it. Oh And I suppose you figured out a motive for me too a couple of possibilities You told me you'd been on a merry-go-round with fours for a long time Maybe you couldn't stand the thought of anyone else getting aboard Helen That sort of things happened before Johnny Or maybe you figured the only way to get off that merry-go-round was to get rid of the guy who ran it and the diamond That could buy you a lot of rides somewhere else And I thought I was the cynic You really have a nice opinion of people haven't you I'm afraid most of the people I get myself involved with on these jobs I'm very nice. You know I didn't do it. All right. If you didn't I'm sure Lieutenant Vental will find out I know I'm on my way there now. Oh He phoned me an hour ago. I thought I'd stop by and talk to you before I went Johnny You don't really think I could do a thing like that. Do you I guess not she One thing I am interested in though. What's that?  It isn't real That merry-go-round Was all I ever knew She walked out of the room looking Well empty is the best word I can think of And I kept wondering what she'd been like before the merry-go-round The rest of the day I spent composing soothing cablegrams and replied to angry ones from McNabb of Troy eastern and demnathy The inquest was the following morning, but the verdict was no help death at the hands of person or person's unknown Lieutenant Vental told me that Forbes sister Agatha had decided to shove off that afternoon on the southern Empress So I went down to the dock at a board ship an hour before sailing hoping I could get an award with her Farewell parties were clogging the lounges in the passageways. I waited outside Agatha for a state room until she arrived Miss Forbes Mr. Dalla, isn't it? Yes, I didn't have a chance to meet you at your brother's party last night I told me about you. It's too bad. You weren't able to persuade him to put that that diamond in the safety sooner Miss Forbes, I wonder if you'd answer a few questions. I'm very sorry. Mr. Dalla. I'm completely exhausted I don't wish to talk about it, but there are certain made my statement to the police There's nothing further to add about the diamond. There's been too much publicity about the entire tragedy as it is I have no wish to add to it Very sorry, Mr. Dalla It'll be in New York in a month or so. Perhaps I shall have recovered from the experience efficiently by then to talk about it Intelligent only trouble is by then the diamond could be in Timbuktu was See you later, Miss Forbes What snapped me into action was a glimpse of a girl at the end of the passageway just entering the lounge I couldn't be sure but it looked like Helen By the time I reached the lounge, she was nowhere in sight Then I saw another familiar face over in one corner the mugshot I'd seen at police headquarters holy obiac jewel thief and I had him pegged He'd been the stocky bartender at Forbes party the guy who disappeared just before the murder He spotted me and ducked into a passageway. I went after him He turned a corner and that was his mistake blind alley. So I closed in on we circled Now I was at the blind end and that was my mistake because suddenly there was a knife in his hand He held it low like an expert now, mr. Dower.  You One side to the knife keep world and dole, but now I had But not the diamond lieutenant Nowhere and that can mean just one thing either Julio was working with somebody who's sailing on the southern Empress or He's after somebody aboard who has the diamond In that case the southern Empress is gonna have another passenger me I Check with a purser who agreed to squeeze me aboard then I headed back to my hotel room to pick up my luggage. I Could still smell Sheila's perfume in the room Then as I bent over to lock my suitcase I spot in a movement out of the corner of my eye I tried to worry over too late something hard can exit back of my left ear and I went down And out. I don't know how long it was before I came to the room was swimming But I managed to get to the window and looked out Then I realized somebody had voted me the man. They'd least like to take a cruise with The southern Empress was underway and steaming out of the harbor Now here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's intriguing episode of this week's story tomorrow I take a trip. All right a one-way trip Join us. Won't you yours truly Johnny dollar yours truly Johnny dollar starring Bob Bailey is Transcribed in Hollywood written by Robert Reif it is produced and directed by Jack John Stone Be sure to join us tomorrow night same time and station for the next exciting episode of yours truly Johnny dollar Roy Rowan speaking


What's going on everybody welcome back to another draw preview and we have the Charleston open or the Volvo car open Happening this year. We didn't have it last year, but it is happening this year a big event on the WTSWT 500 event And it is back for 2021 and there's a lot of plays are pulled out of this event a lot of plays are pulled out of this one Starting with begu she's pulled out burdens has also pulled out blink over colons ferro her cogs pulled out Kineppy, Contavit, Krijakova, Lee, Osta Penko's pulled out Pavlechenkova, Pogula, Peterson Maria Sokari's also pulled out of this event, Sigmund, Sinyakova, Taikman and Heather Watson also pulled out of this event. So a lot of names missing from this one All right starting at the top of the drawer and there are some big names in this event We have 16 seeds for this WT 500 event. The top eight seeds get a buy in the first round in Ash Party She's the number one seed. She is playing straight from Miami having won that a couple of days ago She is getting a buy in the first round. She'll take on the winner of doi or svedlova in the second round Then we got my Jenevich versus Rogers The winner of that match is going to take on either Lynette for the number 13 seed and Nisimova in that second round The member number 10 seed Ryberkina. She's taking on McNally in the first round winner That's going to take either Sevastova or Potapova in the second round Then we have Gracheva versus Bedosa winner of that match is going to take on number five seed Benchich in the second round so straight away you can see we have some big names in this event Ash Party Belinda Benchich and don't forget about on Nisimova Remember she made the French open semi-finals two years ago and actually lost the body in that match So we could be getting a replay of that in the third round here on the clay courts of Charleston All right having a look at the second quarter of the draw now We've got the number nine seed Vondra Sova getting a buy in the first round She'll take on the winner of a qualifier or dealer Renzo in the second round Then we have Zara Zua versus the wildcard Navarro in the first round winner That's going to take on either a qualifier or the 15th seed could have Matova in the second round Then we have the number 17 seed Buzkova taking on Babosh winner of that will take on either Tom Janowich or Mikhail in the second round then we have Sloane Stevens Versing a qualifier in the first round winner of that's going to take on number eight seed Madison Keys in the second round so we could have a blockbuster second round match between Stevens and Keys a replay of the US Open final of a couple of years ago with this part of the draws wide open Vondra Sova made the French open final a couple years ago So watch out for her and don't forget Sloane Stevens was also French open finalist from a few years ago So there's a bunch of names here to watch out for third quarter of the draw here And we've got the number six seed Mugaruta getting a buy in the first round She'll take on a qualifier in the second round no matter what because there's two qualifiers playing each other in the first round Then we got a qualifier versus Diaz the winner of that's going to take on either Petkovic The number 11 seed Puttenseva in the second round Then we got the number 16 seed Zhang taking on Fernandez in the first round winner That's going to take on either a qualifier or Kovnić in the second round Then we have a battle of the qualifiers winner that's going to take on number three seed Petro Kovinova in the second round So we might be seeing a replay of the Doha final of a couple of weeks ago between Mugaruta and Kovinova this time on a clay court But you also got to watch out for Fernandez who won a title a couple of weeks ago So she's in some good form as well, but heavy hitters in this one We've got Mugaruta Kovinova They'll be the big favorites to get out of this part of the draw and now to the bottom section of the draw Probably the most stacked part of the draw with the number seven seed Merton's getting a buy in the first round She'll take on either Perra or Kornay in the second round Then we got Georgie versus the wild card Baptist winner That's going to take on either Treveson or the number 12 seed Jabor in the second round Then we got the number 14 seed Goff versus Perrin Kovar in the first round That's going to be a great blockbuster match make sure you circle that one to watch winner That's going to take on either Habino or Samson over in the second round Then we got a battle of the Americans between Davis and Bregel in the first round winner That gets to take on another American the number two seed Sophia Kennan and Kennan hasn't had the greatest start to the year. She's had a lot of upset results She also had to get her appendix out So I'm keen to see how she does this week Especially being back in her home country America and playing on the clay courts Remember she made the French open final late last year and of course you've always got to look out for Merton's But also Goff keep an eye on her and also Jabor as well See if she can convert her game to the clay courts. So there you have it a WCA 500 event a big event And it's stacked. We've got some big players playing. You got Muga Ruther. You've got Barty You've got Kennan some big big names their Grand Slam champions all round Let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win this event? It's a stacked event. It's Barty gonna back it up from going from the hardcore to Miami to the clay courts of Charleston This is a tough one for me to pick a lot of good players in this one But I'm gonna go with Muga Ruther to win this tournament Just want a French open in the past and after a disappointing week last week I think she will be ready to go and she's had such a great year So I'm gonna go back Muga Ruther to win this event again Let me know down in the comments below. Who are you picking to win this tournament? So the clay season is underway with the WCA 500 event in Charleston
