This clip of a world champion discus thrower shows the footwork clearly: http://www.throwfarther.org/videos/discus/lars_reidel_96.mpg I think I've seen that video about a thousand times, and practiced the footwork in my backyard, holding a stick instead of the plane (just don't let go!). If you download the adobe premiere demo, you can look at the clip in slow motion. The key to the windup is to have your lower body initially rotating faster than your upper body, allowing your body to 'coil.' If your feet are moving slowly, you will miss out on this, and rely too much on your arm. Once your footwork is really consistent, you will gradually throw harder and harder without having to 'muscle' the plane with your arm. The increase in launch speed will come from quicker feet, not your arm and wrist getting stronger. As with any sport, it's easier to develop good technique from the start rather than to fix hitches later on.
