Today with the help of Dan McQuaid, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Kristof Kipp, Professor at Marquette University and a renowned expert in biomechanics. Dr. Kipp, a former thrower himself has been at the forefront of research into optimizing athletic performance, and today, we’re diving into some groundbreaking data he's collected from none other than Mykolas Alekna’s world-record discus throw.

We’ll explore how this data sheds light on the mechanics behind Alekna’s incredible throw, the science of explosive power, what it takes to achieve world-class performances and just better throws if you're a college or high school thrower or throws coach. This is a conversation packed with knowledge, don't miss it.
