In order to become a track star, no college education is required. High school track stars have gone on to become professionals, but competing on a collegiate level can help in getting discovered.

How you will be contacted if you win will depend upon the method in which you used to enter the sweepstakes, what information you provided and the preference of the sponsor. If for example you entered a contest on Facebook with only your email address, you would expect either a private Facebook message or an email. On the other hand, if you entered with your full mailing address, email address and phone number, you may be contacted by any of these means. A phone call is typically made only if you won a large prize or for a local contest. Most common is an email to let you know you've won, and the prize mailed. Finding a prize sitting at your doorstep with no notice of winning is not unusual at all, however. Read sweepstakes rules for more information. Have fun entering and good luck!

Not entirely. In any of the throwing events, your form, speed, and technique play huge roles in your distance. You can have the biggest arms in your school, but if you can't pick up enough speed and your form is all wrong, you won't get too far. You might be able to reach 80 feet with just your muscles, but people with good technique and speed reach over 100 feet, and they can be the smallest, skinniest one on the team. So, no. Discus (along with the other throwing events) is not a muscular power event.

Detailed rules differ by state, but here are some general rules. The thrower is forbidden from stepping out of the circle until the official gives him clearance. Some areas allow the thrower to step ON the line as long as he is not OVER the line, but in many areas stepping on the line disqualifies the thrower. The discus must land within the two lines that form the throwing sector. If it lands outside of the line, it is called a scratch-aka it doesn't count. This is another area where the rules change depending on where you are- in some places the throw will count if the disc lands on the line; in other places that throw would be a scratch.

I would say mizuno. You really have to try many and then you will find the best one for you. Try mizuno.

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.

You can buy discus shoes from a variety of makers, and these are obviously the best type of shoe for the event. However, lacking these, look for a pair of shoes that are broken in and form fitting. Rounded edges on the soles are also very important, and they should be fairly comfortable to stand in on your toes.

other than practicing throwing? Weight lifting (focus on bench press, squat, snatch and clean & jerk) and work with medicine ball (i.e., twists).

Disc golf is a sport that is played much like regular golf. Instead of a ball and a club, the player has a series of discs that he/she uses to throw into a target some distance away. The player counts the number of throws that are needed to reach the target as "shots" and the game is scored just like golf.The game isnotscored just likegolf i play it.Golfgoes Eagle, Ace, Birdie, Par, Bogie Disc Golf goes Ace, Birdie, Par, Bogie

girls will alway throw the same size discus no matter how old 1 kilogram or 2.2 pounds

According to Track and Field News, the American high school record for the discus is held by Mason Finley a throw of 236 feet, 6 inches during the High Altitude Challenge in Alamosa, Colo. The standard of 234-4 had stood since 2001

From my experience im a freshman girl who had never heard or touched a Discus before and I threw a standing throw of about 75, however the distance all depeneds on form strength and sometimes luck. Once you learnt eh full spin you will stat to se a dramadic increase in your distances (begining of the season I was only throwing 60s 70s now that the season is almost over and I leanred the full spin im starting to break 100 which means i made states. If you are seriouse about this and you coach has faith in you then i would recomend getting a private coach who could work 1 on 1 with you.

The Official weight of a female discus is 1.0 Kilograms or about 2.2 pounds for high school, college, and international compitions

It all depends on who is running the meet, how many lanes there are in the pool, and if it is a qualifying meet. Usually, for a finals meet for any big event there are 4-5 officials circling the far side of the pool, 3 in the sides of the pool, and one official on the starts/finishes side of the pool.

Depends on who they are sponsored by, and how good they are. If they become known world wide, win gold in the Olympics, break the world record, they could potentially earn up to a million inendorsements andappearancemoney.

You need the hold it properly, and let your index finger (with whatever hand your throwing the discus in) touch the discus last. You need to say to yourself, 'I am going to win!' aswell! :)

between 100 - 120

a throw of 145 or higher is good enough for state.

in the old days the discus was made out of stone,bronze,lead and iron more barbaric kind off stuff and you might even get an injurie and the throws measurement weren't really that accurate. Now its alot more accurate and easier to throw
