WELCOME TO BOOMER'S

I have been very fortunate to have traveled a bit here and there with Track & Field competitions and experience a great adventure in setting goals, trying to achieve them and learning so much. My all time best mark in my event (shotput) is 63'11". I have been about the US some and abroad in a few other countries such as England, Finland, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Russia, Japan, Korea, Hungary, and Holland over the span of about fifteen years. What great memories they have left for me! Too bad I don't have enough space to share all of that with you here... they are all very fond memories. Travel, meeting wonderful people along the way and doing what you love does that and I feel blessed. A few of the competitions I was fortunate to be in are:

1983 World University Games, Edmonton, Canada
1986 Goodwill Games, Moscow, Russia
1987 World Championships, Rome, Italy
1988 Olympic Team, Seoul, Korea
1992 Olympic Team, Barcelona, Spain

The "Glide" technique. To start, all of your weight should be supported on the power/drive leg. In the center of the ring the power/drive leg will initiate the drive and torque for the delivery of the throw. Ideally, your power leg should land in the center of the ring (note in this series the power leg came up short of center).

Pivot the foot on the power/drive leg and transfer the power up and around to the hips. The upper body should remain back until the power transfer to the hips is maximized. From here it should be like a "slingshot" affect. On delivery of the shotput it is important to "follow" through completely even after the shotput has been thrown. The entire throw should have a smooth flow and explosive finish.

The throw is complete. Be sure to exit out the back of the ring and cross your fingers that was a winning throw!
