Elizabeth Wood PES 294
Stage: Beginner
Stage Characteristics: He attempts to initiate the throw with his lower body, but them builds his strength with his upper body. Again the footwork is not correct, and the swing/throw begins and chest level and stays at chest level. He also spins around and lands outside the circle.
What to Change: Focus on initiating the throw with the lower body to generate more strength. Also pay attention to moving your arm from you hip and releasing the discus at shoulder level or above.
Cue: Focus on lower body; footwork; release

Stage: Beginner
Characteristic: Scratches, overly focused on footwork, lacks speed/power
Change: I think his mistakes are mostly due to the fact he is a beginner. He needs to practice and while focusing on footwork is important he also needs to develop speed and awareness of where he is in the ring.
Cue: Focus on overall form
