From "Coach the Throws" Email from Dave Hahn:
#1. When teaching the discus, I like to focus on the rhythm and whole movement of the throw first, and then break it down into pieces starting at the back of the circle.

The pirouette drill allows the athlete to focus on balance out of the back of the circle and to initiate the movement with the lower body, as opposed to throwing the upper body ahead and crashing to the middle of the circle.
Focus on keeping the left elbow behind the plane of the left knee, while staying on the inside of the left foot (right handed thrower).
Control the wind, and rotate 360 degrees landing back in the starting position on balance.
Spin to Win: The Full Spin in discus.
This video breaks down the full spin. Notice the "red lines" starting about :45. This illustrates the angles needed to make the footwork effective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ojfCU20Hmo
Shotput Drills and Information:
The shuffle-shuffle-stop drill is a fundamental drill that not many coaches or athletes spend much time on, but you will see in today's video how much athletes struggle with it. In order to successfully throw the shot and the disc, regardless of whether you are a rotational shot putter, or a glider. That means landing in a heal-toe relationship, an open left foot, and weight loaded up on the right leg.
You can see the progression that Coach Hahn likes to go through in clinics and with his athletes here:

Coach Hahn's A Drill (Get Ready to Stretch!):
While the glide seems like a relatively simple movement, it can prove difficult to master. A very difficult skill for beginning athletes to understand is rocking back on the heel, letting the hips drop to initiate the throw. In the process, the athlete should extend the left (block leg), pointing the toe toward the right sector line.
The A Drill for the glide shot put breaks the glide down into multiple movements allowing the athlete to concentrate on allowing the hips to drop, rocking onto the right heel, left leg placement (heel-toe relationship), and pulling the left foot under the shot in the power position.
