> > Are you saying movements in the javelin throw are similar to the ones involved in the
discuss throw or even the hammer throw? (TO A DEGREE REGARDING THE LAST STEP)
Would you be of the opinion that the athletes in the discuss/hammer throws would benefit
more from a long stride just prior to release or to basically develop more quickness/
explosiveness in their rotational movements? (YES) In your opinion, how is the begining of
the stride regarded as a timing mechanism? (SOME PEOPLE USE HITCHES BECAUSE THEIR
SWINGS ARE TO EARLY (GARY SHEFFIELD) Do you see it as a domino affect where if you
want the last domino to fall at a precise time you must start the first domino at a specific
time in order to achieve your goal? (THEORETICALLY YES) Would turning the key to your
automobile be considered a timing mechanism related to getting somewhere at a certain
time or actually start moving the car be more of a timing mechanism? (IT WOULD BE MORE
OF A TRIGGER) Do you believe it would be better to figure out at exactly what time you
should leave in order to be able to arrive on time without having to exceed the speed
limit? (THAT IS GOING TO THE EXTREME BUT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SUBSCRIBE TO THAT
THEORY (I PERSONALLY DO NOT)) Yet, another option would be to leave early then have to
wait? (YOU CANNOT ANTICIPATE EVERYTHING, BUT SOME IDEA IS BETTER THAN NO IDEA)
In the last scenario, your car has to stop its forward movement in order to wait. (TRUE AND
AS A RESULT THE CAR ROCKS BACK- TO A DEGREE LIKE (some) ROTATIONAL HITTERS
ROCK BACK AFTER A GOOD SWING (Barry Bonds))

Hi guys,

I like the car analogy. I think that the car definately needs to leave on time and needs to go the speed limit in order to have a better chance of stopping at red lights (bad pitches). Ideally that speed limit would gradually keep increasing and increasing until my car reached it's destination, slamming into it, making an unbelievable sound, and absolutely destroying the walls of that building.

I definately wouldn't just put the pedal to the metal right out of the garage to the destination, because I'll surely run red lights (bad pitches), and I'd surely lose control of my car and run off the road. Not to mention the lack of efficiency on gas as well as my
gear system this would cause.
