Thanks, Glenda.

Though the coach should know better when it comes to a safe place to stand.

This is an excellent item about throwing a discus by the Commonwealth Games athlete Dani Stevens. Goes into energy transfer, momentum, body positions and discus angles. It would be great for Year 8 and even Yr 10 physics.

Cheers,
Glenda
