IINSPIRE: To excite, encourage, or breathe life into. Coach Frank, in my book you will always be the definition of "inspiration" to me and I believe to many others as well who were/are involved in track and field. You helped us reach our potential from where we were at to whatever we could become. Because of that I hereby dedicate my very first master's age 70-74 men's discus P.R. at the Oregon Senior Games in Corvallis, Oregon at Whyte Track and Field this August 10th, 2024 to you, Coach Frank Morris. As my high school track and field coach at Springfield High School through my Senior year in 1971 you greatly helped me believe in myself and what I could achieve with the discus with whatever talent I possessed. Defeating the South Eugene thrower in a duel meet by 2 inches (my High School P.R.) in my Senior Year was the cherry on the top and was not possible without your coaching. And now, some 53 odd years later and my career has come and went, my love for discus throwing has never died. Though my discus goals are modest as I must admit, I will persist in achieving them. And achieve them I will. It is NOT a question of IF, but WHEN. Persistence will overcome all obstacles. Thank you Coach. I and so many others over many places and times are forever in your debt. Chris Reynolds Springfield Senior High Class of 1971

Очень слитный бросок от замаха до финала. Идеальные углы звеньев тела. Взрывная сила в финале и плавный разгон снаряда в повороте. Уверен, что ему эти броски за 70 показались очень лёгкими. У меня тоже в один день было такое чувство: личный рекорд без особых усилий. Все звёзды сошлись!

RIP Brooks

Rest easy Coach Johnson. Again. Thanks for all your help in my life.

What happened, did you have an injury? "it took me 20 excruciating minutes just to get out of bed."

I remember Brooks when he was at St. Albans. He took an interest in everyone on the team - both the stars and the average athletes. A great man.

Awesome Mac! Those stop frames of Wolfgang are crazy, so good to see what is supposed to happen!

I was recently watching the video with Gideon and Al Orter training for the discus. Great. to see that he still passionate about throwing the discus. Can’t wait more!

Awesome. Thanks for this.

Multi Mac legend!

Great video analysis. Really glad to have discovered Mac Wilkins channel today. I remember seeing Mac portrayed in a Prefontaine movie and of course covered many times in Track & Field News. I used to get that magazine when I was in high school.

wish I knew then what I know now Mac,... Al explodes thru the middle better than anyone we have seen in these last 40 years!! thanks for Posting!

Excellent questions and very useful to think about. I honestly believe that he can go much further with some improvement at the end of the throw. I could not imagine how powerful he must become to capture all that energy for release. He will push our understanding of how far the discuss can fly.

Mac, check out the left foot turn of Daniel Stahl and even Payton Otterdahl in the shot

How can I join these zoom calls?

Excellent dialogue with Mo and you. Brings back many good memories in the ring. Also things i did well and where i needed to work more on. Wishing Mykolas much success in Paris and many more WR and yes minimal injuries! Sounds like they are covering all the basis of a long and successful career! ;o)

great job on these 2 videos Mac.....so much to learn in these few minutes that can really make a huge difference in a thrower. THANKS !!

Fellow throws coach here. This is the best analysis of Alekna on the internet right now. THANK YOU!!

Great analysis. Everything I know about throwing came from these 2 coaches, Mac and Mo. Great job guys. - Rob Suelflohn

Excellent guys and reinforces what some of us thought and that is he doesn't waste time overthinking the throw and focuses on maintaining ground contact as quickly as he can. The emphasis on the hips doing the rotation and not the feet is great advice.

Do you plan to post the rest of the conversation? This portion is very helpful.

Good job coach...keep coaching & competing, we love you & all you bring to the "table"...Goooo Gators !!!

Wow Mac, thank you so much for this series of conversations they are so inspiring. I was SO happy to know Frank is 1) still alive and 2) looking outrageous at over 90!! and to listen to him about his life passions and challenges is so empowering, what a wonderful human! I've just had my 2nd hip replacement and I am off into the sunny day here for a walk with Frank in mind dealing with Polio at 21! PS: at 73 you look ridiculous too so I'm feeling indestructible at 60 and motivated more than ever to keep on training and throw that 1 kg discus far!

Hey Mac, thanks for doing this interview. I hope steph gets to keep this forever -the old man-

Magic - thanks both!

So cool to hear Kate's history..... never got to dig this deep when we did clinics/camps together. Thanks large, Mac

Interesting Duncan, thanks for sharing. I always find it fascinating on how people find the javelin to become a thrower.

Excellent work Mac 👌👊

Excellent series. Thank you Mac for a career of inspiring throwers to love training and the personal satisfaction of chasing PR's.

Did you coach Ryan with discus Mac ?

Great video!

Great stuff Mac & Duncan! There are a few young athletes that still have great work ethics! I’m coaching one, and we’re heading to State in both disc and Javelin, next week! Both of you have been positive influences in my coaching, and I try to keep you guys in the training and teach them about the roots of the throwing events. 2023 Oregon 6-A state

Do you sell these?

Can't wait for Part 2. Really enjoying hearing the background story of a local sports hero. - Coach Nels

這真的很棒！

I solved an exercise in mechanics that was about this athlete's shot put.

Huge Respect for You Sir ❤

Thanks Mac for these technique evaluations they really help me have a primary movement focus for parts of the throw I can be better at (like low orbit!)

I am going to compete in the World and British Championships this year. Mac's coaching is a God send to me. I can't wait to try out these techniques. In fact I have been practising whilst working as a security officer this evening. No other coach has ever taught me this before. It feels right immediately! Thank you Mac. Best wishes from the UK.

Wow. You just solved a problem for me that I’ve been searching everywhere for, in 26 seconds. You’re one of the best for a reason I guess 😂

Foul!

Joe Kovacs has very fast rotation

Mac did you technique get inspired by jay sylvester

Why am I just finding this video now?

Sweet video, never get tired of seeing Mac and Wolfgang. Also best music on a discus video hands down!

Mac has hands down the best blocking action of all time. The hair helps accentuate it even more!

Mac what kind of netting is that the guy Is throwing into??

amazing power and athleticism!! Congrats to Ryan and thanks for sharing, Mac.

Thanks for this Mac
