WELCOME to the insanity!!!!! Keep at it. What really translates from your video--- you've definitely got the right attitude! The rest is just mechanics. I am SOOO geeked to see more women getting involved. We have a new 'team' member in Michigan and its a blast throwing with her.
You're around some VERY good throwers who are also always ready to coach.
Nothing wrong with that, you just need a bit more *VIOLENCE*...
Now, the heavy weight for distance WAS a big heavy for you. on the other hand, you didn't fall on your butt, like my friend Marty did at HIS first Games.
I don't care what anybody says, You were out there, DOING IT. You were on the "action" side of the fence. You took what you knew and you had the cajones to put it out there and strut your stuff, to give it a shot and those sheaf videos don't look bad at all. We'll get those weights whipped into shape, no problem there...*heh*

I agree 100%....and I need this too. I think attitude can help a lot.
One thing I noticed from the big boys is that they throw with some real aggression. Then I go back & watch my throws and it looks like I'm just going through the motions...

I'm SO technique-oriented that overthinking the throws are a big issue for me. After killing my throws distances in the weights throughout most of the season, I went to Ventura with this mindset.
This is the last Games of the season. There are 6 months ahead of you to "recover". There is nothing to lose. So just GO FOR IT.
...which is exactly what I did in the LWFD and HWFD. After watching West Imboden at a practice, and noticing how quick he was in the back I decided I was going to do that...did it....and had the best sequence of throws I'd had all year, AND a gigantic PR in the HWFD.
My mantra in caber now, when there's a big heavy stick....something that Dan McKim said.
"Be aggressive, or it'll bury you"
so now, before I pick a snarl at myself ...""BE AGGRESSIVE">... seems to work, I've turned every caber since Pleasanton.
