Beauty is in no way better than brains. Cause, guess what? Beauty fades. You're dream job as a model or a porn star or whatever can only last so long. When you get into your forties, you'll be forced to retire because your beautiful, youthful looks have long since dried up. And guess what you'll be left with? 40-60 years of retirement. That's right. half a lifetime wasted because you couldn't go to college and get a real job.

no. The NCAA allows individually taped fingers though, but I believe they need to be covering a cut to be ok. Tape anywhere on the hand is not allowed under US HS rules. On the wrist is fine though.

you should ask a coach for an example
There are six keys movements of the discus throw: wind up, move in rhythm, balance, right leg engine, orbit, and delivery. The wind up is important aspects of the throw, because its set the tone for the entire throw. The wind up is both mental and technical. It is mental because the wind up sets you up for the rest of the throw. The following are the technical aspects: flat right foot, on the ball of your left foot, keep your weight evenly distributed between your feet, and do not over do it (being overly active can result in the waste of energy). Although the wind up sets the tone for the entire throw, the rhythm of the throw is the most important aspect. It is necessary to move in rhythm through out the entire throw. The best throwers contain the same amount of time in each phase while completing a great throw. Focusing on rhythm can bring about the consistency to get in the right positions that many throwers lack. To execute a sound discus throw with solid technique,it requires perfect balance. Due to the throw being a linear movement, combined with a one and a half rotation, and an implement at the end of one arm, a good discus thrower needs to maintain balance within the circle.
