Tips:

  • Caroline Ma says:

    Prompt participants to hold these positions for 2 seconds after the throw to measure if they are truly balanced. Without balance, a throw is hard to control.

    Bending their back leg to load the front leg is helpful to increase stability and width.

    Extending their arm when throwing can provide even more width.
