I don't think that people/coaches in the uk appreciate how important the base of the throw is. all the coaches i have ever had have always worked on how to hit the javelin with the hip and then arm but never any time on how to work the right foot into left plant (and opposite for lefties).
It has...these past few months been a major part of my training(for what training i have been able to do) learning at the age of 22 how to plant properly. I have been throwing nearly 10years and only now i am learning how to do it...what a waste of talent i am.
