Legendary Discus Thrower, John Powell said that you need 10,000 throws a year to be a good thrower. Below is a breakdown of how to get to the 10,000 throws.

10,000 Throws
~1,000 throws per month
~250 throws per week
~50 throws a day

How can you get those 50 throws a day? You do not alway need to be in a circle to throw, you can perform standing throws and drills, throwing the implement back, while waiting your turn in the field.
