Myoklas Alekna had one of the greatest seasons ever for a collegiate athlete in the discus throw in 2022. The Lithuanian native and son of Virgilijus Alekna attended the University of California and in his freshman year was the winner of the European Athletics Men�s Rising Star Award and European Champion. He was the youngest-ever European discus champion at age 19. He broke the European Championship record with a throw of 69.78m (228-1). Myoklas won the World Championship silver medal becomings the youngest world discus medalist in history with a throw of 69.27m (227-3). In 2022 he threw the longest-ever discus mark by a teenager and fourth-best overall in the world at the BAUHAUS-galan Diamond League meet, taking second place at 69.81m (229-0). He was the Lithuanian Champion and posted a throw of 69.00m (226-3) at the Lithuanian Championships. The US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) voted him West Region Men�s Field Athlete of the Year and First Team All-American. He was the Pac-12 Men�s Field Athlete and Freshman of the Year and Cal�s first-ever men�s semifinalist for The Bowerman. He finished his freshman season with 6 of the top 10 discus throws in NCAA history, including the all-time record.�Mohammad Saatara, his coach at the University of California, spends over and hour breaking down the discus throw technical features that help Myoklas achieve such a high level. Technical points and technical characteristics are covered prior to a detailed technical breakdown on video of Myoklas Alekna's throws.1 Technical Background Free 2:24 2 Technical Points 3:42 3 Technical Characteristics 3:44 4 Back of Circle 3:17 5 Middle of Circle 3:12 6 Front of Circle 1:46 7 Orbit Free 0:51 8 Ankle and Knee Integrity 2:02 9 Transition to Delivery 2:41 10 Question: Left Leg Mechanics 2:04 11 Question: Developing Thrower 1:08 12 Question: Shoulder Mobility Free 1:34 13 Question: Rhythm 2:38 14 Question: Technical Model 2:02 15 Question: Positions 0:48 16 Question: Hand Placement and Grip 1:30 17 Question: Technical Changes 1:57 18 Question: Strength Training 3:21 19 Question: Gender Differences 1:47 20 Question: Gender Differences Pt. 2 1:34 21 Question: Technical Model Pt. 2 Free 2:58 22 Additional Observations 4:20 23 Duration of Throw Breakdown 1:36Mohamad Saatara enters his ninth�season with the California track & field team in 2021-22.

So far, Saatara�s athletes have produced 23�NCAA Championship-qualifying performances and two National Championships (Rogers, 2019 and 2021 hammer throw), as well as two�all-time NCAA records (Rogers, 2021/22�hammer throw; Alekna, 2022 discus).In Saatara�s latest season, Pac-12 champion Camryn Rogers stamped her mark in collegiate history by breaking the all-time hammer record and meet record � twice � at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to earn All-American status, capping off the year with a fifth-place finish at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, which was the highest-ever finish by a female Canadian hammer thrower; Saatara was subsequently recognized as an Olympic Coach and received an Olympic ring to acknowledge his presence and contribution. Rogers, Cal�s first track & field athlete to be named to The Bowerman Watch List, also qualified for the 2021 NCAA Indoor Championships in the weight throw and earned the first of her two All-American nods that year. On the men�s side, Iffy Joyner took third place in the discus throw at the Pac-12 Championships, eventually making his way to the NCAA Championships and winning himself an All-American spot.Despite the lack of a 2020 outdoor season, Saatara�s student-athletes still found reason to celebrate. In his final year at Cal, McKay Johnson broke his own indoor shot put record, winning the MPSF Championship title and reaching his third straight All-American appearance. Teammate Josh Johnson finished right behind in the same event, taking second place as well as All-American honors of his own.Saatara�mentored Rogers on the way to her first National Championship (and All-American nod) as well as the usurpation of her own school record in the women's hammer throw in 2019, a year in which she also first set Canada�s U23 record and placed sixth at the Pan Am Games. Rogers also took first place in that year�s MPSF Championships (weight throw) and the Pac-12 Championships (hammer throw). Not to be outdone, teammate Chrissy Glassmann set a school record of her own in the javelin throw. Under Saatara�s coaching, freshman Iffy Joyner took home a silver medal in the men�s discus throw at that year�s NACAC U23 Championship and qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in that same event, while fellow thrower McKay Johnson broke his own school record in the indoor shot put on his way to a national appearance of his own (as well as a second-place MPSF Championships finish) along with teammate Silviu Bocancea in the hammer throw. Once again, both Johnson and Bocancea notched All-American honors.In 2018, Saatara coached Rogers to that year�s U-20 World Championship in Finland, where she took gold in the hammer throw. That win was the first world championship at any level for a Cal track & field athlete, as well as the first-ever throwing gold medal for Canada. As a freshman, Rogers broke the school record in the hammer throw and finished third at that year�s Pac-12 Championships, also taking third in the weight throw at the MPSF Championships. On the men�s side, McKay Johnson broke the school record for the indoor shot put under Saatara�s guidance, qualifying for both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships (the latter for both shot put and discus throw after second-place conference finishes in each event), reaching All-American status in the former. Shot putter Peter Simon also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships after placing third at the Pac-12 Championships, as did Bocancea in the hammer throw; both later reached All-American status. Two more discus throwers finished third for the Bears at the Pac-12 Championships � Malik McMorris for the men and Amarie Bremel for the women.Saatara�s 2017 campaign featured a mix of both veteran and newcomer successes, topped by pupil McKay Johnson�s third-place finish in the shot put at the USATF Junior Championships. Simon also impressed once again, winning the Pac-12 men�s shot put title and earning All-American honors, while women Kendall Mader and Destiny Parker shined at the Pac-12 Championships (third in discus throw) and MPSF Championships (second in weight throw), respectively.2016�s star thrower under Saatara�s tutelage was freshman Peter Simon, who qualified for both the Indoor and Outdoor NCAA Championships that year and earned All-American honors at the former. At the Pac-12 Championships, Simon placed third in the shot put; his teammate Isaac Dan also took home a trophy from that meet, finishing second in the hammer throw.In 2015, Saatara helped another athlete � Ethan Cochran � qualify for the National Championships in the discus throw after Cochran placed second in the Pac-12 Championships. New addition Ilse Kaaja earned herself a spot on the podium in the Pac-12 women�s hammer throw, placing third at that meet, while the earlier MPSF Championships featured Amaechi�s second-place finish in the weight throw.Saatara�s inaugural season with the Bears saw two National Championship qualifiers in Amaechi and Derek White. All-American Amaechi, who broke the school record in the weight throw earlier that year, placed first in the weight throw and third in the shot put at the MPSF Championships, while White took second place in the discus throw at that year�s Pac-12 Championships. Shelby Ashe, another thrower taught by Saatara, also reached the podium at the Pac-12 Championships, winning second in the hammer throw.Saatara came to Berkeley after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Michigan, where he supervised all field events for the men�s team and specialized in the throws. Under his direction, the Michigan men set seven school records in the indoor and outdoor shot put, weight throw, hammer throw and the decathlon. In addition, they earned four�All-Big Ten Honors in Indoor and Outdoor conference championships.Prior to moving to Michigan, Saatara spent eight seasons at Northern Arizona University, helping the Lumberjacks to 12 Big Sky Conference men�s and women�s team championships. He has coached over 20 Big Sky individual champions, as well as multiple school record holders in the throws. During his career at NAU, he coached a multitude of student athletes who competed at the NCAA Regional and National Championships, including six NCAA All-Americans and two�NCAA Academic All-American awardees.Saatara has coached and consulted nine�Olympians. He has also coached national- and international-level athletes who have set national and international records.

In this course Justin St. Clair breaks down the discus throw in a way that all coaches can understand. He starts with the 5 aspects that make up his view of the discus technical model. He then walks coaches through the 7 key applications of his technical progresion. Each stage of the throw is discussed as to what key elements are important and what to look for at each stage. He finishes the presentation with drills to use to help your athletes and video analysis of certain technical positions necessary to achieve proper throwing mechanics.1 Introduction Free 1:34 2 Overview 2:58 3 Technical Model - Philosophy 1:25 4 Balance and Posture 0:53 5 Direction 1:07 6 Rhythm Free 1:13 7 Acceleration and Velocity 0:46 8 Range of Motion 0:25 9 Landmarks of Technical Progression 0:33 10 Starting Position 0:39 11 Preliminary Swing 2:19 12 Initial Movement 1:35 13 The Turn "Pivot" 1:10 14 Sprint 1:20 15 Power Position 1:14 16 Release 4:20 17 Delivery Stacked and Level 0:39 18 Discus Orbit (Path) 2:04 19 Inventory of Drills 3:40 20 Pivot Drills 3:30 21 Towel Drill Free 0:45 22 Line Drill 0:34 23 Side View (Lateral) 3:00 24 Rear View (Behind) 1:54 25 Weekly Training 0:37 26 NCAA Championship 0:37 27 Non-Reverse 3:00 28 Reverse 0:30 29 Technical Improvement Comparison 1:39 30 Thank You 0:21Justin St. Clair was named the associate head coach and throws coach for the Huskers in the summer of 2021. St. Clair came to Nebraska after 10 years as arguably the nation's best throws coach while at North Dakota State. He has been voted the USTFCCCA Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year nine times since 2016 - five times indoors and four times outdoors. In 2019, St. Clair was voted the National Assistant Coach of the Year for men's indoor track and field, and he followed that up by being one of three national finalists for the women's award in 2020. He was promoted to associate director of the Bison track and field program in August of 2020.� St. Clair coached NDSU's Payton Otterdahl to the 2021 Olympic Games, NCAA titles in the indoor shot put and weight throw in 2019, becoming only the second man ever to sweep the NCAA titles in the indoor throwing events. Otterdahl set the all-time collegiate record in the indoor shot put on his way to becoming a semifinalist for The Bowerman.�During the 2021 indoor season, St. Clair was named the USTFCCCA Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year for the eighth time after guiding five NDSU throwers to first-team All-America honors at the NCAA Indoor Championships.� NDSU tied for the national lead with six entries in the men's throwing events at the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Championships, and Alex Talley and Kristoffer Thomsen earned All-America honors for the 2020 indoor season with national top-10 performances.�On the women's side in 2019, the Bison had four different throwers combine to earn five All-America honors at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships -- Bailey Retzlaff (indoor shot put, hammer throw), Akealy Moton (outdoor shot put), Shelby Gunnells (indoor shot put), and Maddy Nilles (weight throw). Following the season, USA Track & Field named St. Clair the throws coach for its Team USA vs. Europe meet in Belarus in September 2019. For the abbreviated 2020 season, St. Clair coached Moton, Gunnells and Nilles to return trips to the NCAA Championships, and the Bison women were dominant at the Summit League Indoor Championships. NDSU scored 66 of a possible 78 team points in the two throwing events, finishing 1-2-3-4-5-7 in the shot put and 1-2-3-5-7-8 in the weight throw. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, the NDSU men and women combined to lead the nation in entries in the throwing events at the NCAA Preliminary Round. Under St. Clair, the Bison had a remarkable 25 throwing entries at the NCAA Preliminary Round in 2016, while no other school in the country had more than 14. Statistically, the Bison throws program was declared the top squad in the nation across all divisions for three straight years from 2016-18. In 2018, the Bison were the only squad in the country with four men over 59 feet in the shot put and four men over 60 meters in the hammer. On the women's side, NDSU scored 120 of a possible 156 points in the throwing events at the 2018 Summit League Championships. Six different Bison women finished the season ranked among the NCAA's top 50 in throwing events, and NDSU became the only team in the nation with five women over 15 meters in the shot put. St. Clair's athletes were also highly regarded on the national scene in 2018, with Payton Otterdahl owning the nation's top collegiate shot put mark and Alyssa Olin ranking second in the NCAA in the javelin. In addition to Olin and Otterdahl, St. Clair guided Maddy Nilles (hammer), Matti Mortimore (javelin) and Alex Renner (shot put) to top-10 finishes at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2018 and 2019. The Bison men and women broke nine of a possible 12 school records in the throws in the 2016 season alone � and every school record on the books was re-broken since January 2016.� In 2015, St. Clair coached Mortimore to a seventh-place finish in the javelin and freshman Austin Schmidt to 16th in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Championships -- at the time, the two highest NCAA Outdoor finishes in NDSU's Division I era. On the women's side, he directed Sierra Rosenau to the first Division I national meet appearance by a Bison woman in a throwing event. The 2015 season was also an extremely successful one for St. Clair's athletes on the national and international track & field scene. St. Clair coached NDSU freshman Payton Otterdahl to a USA Junior national championship and a Pan American Junior title in the discus, and he also directed NDSU alum Riley Dolezal to his second World Championships appearance in the javelin for Team USA. St. Clair was the throws coach for Team USA at the World University Games held in South Korea. Along with directing the historic success of the NDSU student-athletes, St. Clair re-entered the international track & field scene as the coach for 2013 USATF javelin champion Riley Dolezal, a 2009 NDSU graduate. Dolezal won the national title in the javelin at the USA Outdoor Championships in June 2013 with a mark of 273-11 (83.50m) � the best throw by an American in four years and enough to rank Dolezal eighth in American history. St. Clair was also named the throws coach of the Team USA Under-23 squad in the summer of 2014. St. Clair made an immediate impact for the Bison in 2012, directing his student-athletes to 17 performances that ranked among the school's all-time top 10, including two new school records.

Tipton�s athletes helped contribute to 12 Southland Conference Team Championships.Prior to SHSU, Tipton was an assistant coach for the UC Davis Aggies for the 2012-2013 seasons. During his time at the University of California, Davis, Tipton worked with several NCAA Preliminary Championships qualifiers, including Ashley Hearn, the 2012 Big West Discus Champion and bronze medalist at the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.�Tipton�s first coaching experience was as the graduate assistant for SHSU Track & Field from the Fall of 2009 through the Spring of 2011, while completing his masters in Kinesiology. During his stint as graduate assistant, in which he provided direct oversight for the throwers, Tipton worked with SHSU school record holder Chris Cralle (2012 Olympic Trials Silver Medalist) who earned All-American honors in 2011 and won the NACAC U-23 Championships in 2010 in the hammer throw.Not only has Tipton shown promise as one of the best up-and-coming- coaches in the country, but he was also a stellar athlete at SHSU. His discus throw of 196�6� in 2009 still stands as the school record.
