Technical development moments weren’t overlooked with a coach providing feedback “What I’m saying is, to me, you started the throw, your feet were set early, in my opinion, whether it was eyes or feet, the combination of both is why you were not accurate.” Allar responds with insight “Yeah, Like I saw him flatten off, it felt shallow, I think he got all of his depth.”
