I’ve been watching a few shot put events, and I’m really curious about how athletes keep their balance during the glide. It looks like such a tricky move to master! Anyone know what the key is to staying steady while still getting power?
The key is a mix of technique and strength. Athletes keep their balance by focusing on their foot positioning and core stability. 
The glide is all about smooth, controlled movements to maximize power and keep that balance. It’s impressive to watch once you know what’s going on!
