Your non-throwing arm is just as important as your throwing arms. and Always look up and out as you throw.
I just pinged Michaela Wallerstedt, who is Stanfords top womens shotputter right now. I know her coach will kill her if she picks up a Highland implement during her senior season, but maybe she'll come down some evening and hang out with a couple of us and give pointers. Then again, since I just e-mailed her totally out of the blue, maybe she'll think I'm a freak.
I have that effect on women...
