    For the stones... Hang out at a local HS and talk to the Track & Field Coach. What you need is to work with a Shot putter. Trust me... I know it works. (former Shot Putter). You need to make sure that you follow thru with your throws. Legs play a big part too, dont forget to use them. Your non-throwing arm is just as important as your throwing arms. and Always look up and out as you throw.

    I just pinged Michaela Wallerstedt, who is Stanfords top womens shotputter right now. I know her coach will kill her if she picks up a Highland implement during her senior season, but maybe she'll come down some evening and hang out with a couple of us and give pointers. Then again, since I just e-mailed her totally out of the blue, maybe she'll think I'm a freak.

    I have that effect on women...
