Throwing

You know what?
While playing the new wii-fit, the newest addition to the house,
i realised that as a rather seasoned thrower, you have very, very, very good balance.
As compared to the rest of my family, my balance is really really good.
My center of gravity is almst in the center, which means i have really good balance and posture.
My balancing games are all owned by me and seriously, i realised i have very very good balance and control over my distribution of body weight.

Thinking more indepthly, i realised it has alot to do with the positioning of throwing.
While throwing, we throwers have to distribute and manage our weight very conscienciously and have to maintain that delicate balance while throwing. Our legs support our bodies together with a heavy ball, and we fight to keep our center of gravity within the span of our feet, until we do it effortlessly.

And the final outcome is-
Great balance. ;)

I think its even greater for discus cos that one really needs alot of weight management. If not, you'll throw your body, not the plate.
Trust me.
I've done it before.
T-T

haha. (:

And im actually freaking out right now.
I just suddenly felt like i needed a jolt of reality check in my life.
Not trying to boast, but i really need competition to push me furthur.

I just took a look at USA's junior competition and i started hyperventilating to the point i nearly fainted. Seriously.

The top women's shot putt for junior champs is chinwe okoro, who threw 16+m.
O.
M.
G.
I can barely hit 11m right now.
(Its down season, just so you know.)
So. In a state of utter shock and panic, i just had to find out the age group.
And to my relief, the age group is between 14 to below 20.
And that girl, she's 3 years older than me.

So, lets do abit of math, shall we?
In 2008, i was 16.
Hence, in 2008, she was 16+3=19 years old.
And when she was 19 years, she threw 16m.
Thats a little more comforting.
Cos i plan and pray and hope with all my heart,
I'll hit 15m by next year.

I wanna be the best Asian Thrower.
In fact, i'de love to be the best thrower in the world in 5 years time.
Hows that?

But then again, i've only checked one country.
Its even more depressing when i look at IAAF's junior records.
17,18m.
Bunch of insane creeps.

I just realised if i can throw 13-14m this year, i might make it to IAAF this year.
So. See how lor.
Time to start working my butt off man.
19 year olds throwing 16-17m.
I wanna do that.
Or better.

LETS GO!
