Shot Put

I am a high school shot putter. I have been throwing the 4k for 7 months and still can't cross the 7.5m mark. I understand that it is the speed and strength which affects the distance. I have been working on weight training but it doesn't seem to help. Is there any other way to improve my shot distance?
Please help.
