hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're gonna be going over some of the key mistakes
i see with quarterbacks utilizing the front foot and we're gonna hop in the video right now
okay so as many of you guys know i talked so much about the lower body and the ability to
properly utilize the lower body i think that as well as the ability to properly utilize the
wrists are like the two most critical things when it comes to throwing the football effectively and
so if you get the lower body wrong it just syncs up the body to not be able to perform
at the optimal level so we really want to be able to understand how to utilize not only the back leg
but also the front foot and the front leg in order to really maximize the throw so today we're going
to be talking about primarily the front foot and where we see a lot of mistakes here on the left
we're going to see quarterbacks that have sent in video breakdowns and you know kind of seeing some
of the things that they're doing here so you know this is a step it's not the the full step here
but you could see kind of where the foot's going how the foot is moving and the big problem here
is that the foot is just moving inside as the it's actually touching the ground so if we compare that
to josh allen and how his foot touching the ground you can see how he's just going straight forward
and that really ends up being the main thing with the the mistake right is either coming inside or
outside when throwing the ball when your foot is touching the ground right
or allowing that foot to have more of that motion so if it's either going too much
inside you know that's going to set your body up to go you know to have to overcompensate with
the spine and fall to the outside as well as the same thing if you have too much of your momentum
going to the outside your body's going to continue that way as well so we'll go to another one here
again this is going to be from the back
so this is where you just see straight to the outside right so you just see how
the body when you start to go and twist your your momentum and you know twist off your back leg so
everything ends up going out to the side then that's where the body's going to end up going
and that's going to be the key thing so when it comes to that front foot we want you to be
able to reach with it right you want to be able to get plenty of range going forward but then
we also want it to be touching the ground moving in that direction so then you have a very stable
anchor that you can utilize to then really push off the back leg effectively so what happens here
with josh alex is we could see he's really able to drive off that back leg into his front foot
into that front leg because of the step that he takes with that front leg right if he was
really sure with that step or if it was going off to the side or you know to the inside that's what
would make it so you know his body would contort to that position as well and so what we want to
be able to do is really take a good notice of not only which direction it's going but also
how far of a step he's actually taking and we're going to go in and actually go look at tom brady
for that here next just because we have another person so this one's going to be from the side
we'll look at tom brady here i know we've seen this video a lot but notice how big of a step
he's taking right and when that front foot hits the ground we can see how he has a good
amount of weight in the back leg this is going to be another example of somebody who is you
know he's taking a good good side step here but notice that when the foot's hitting the ground
it's coming inside right so see how how that ends up happening there where the foot is coming
inwards plenty of space with the base right but a lot of the weight is already shifted pretty
far forward in the movement pattern right which is going to impact how well the hips can get through
but also just because the the foot ends up being in that position as the weight shifts forward
there's just not going to be as much ability to get the hips all the way forward and through
in the movement as if you have you know more weight back and are able to really push into a
good stable anchor with that front foot right so that's going to be the big thing is how can you
really set your front foot up to be a anchor point for the rest of your body to be able to take all
the weight onto it right because all that weight's coming from that back leg all the way through to
that front foot you know when you're throwing here basically no weight is on that back foot right
most of the weight goes on onto the front foot and it happens very rapidly right it goes from
no weight on that front foot as you're stepping to now all the weight is being transferred onto the
front foot and so being able to understand how to balance and control that is critical in order to
really have success as a quarterback so you know hopefully this makes sense to you if you like the
information click that thumbs up down below that really helps us out a ton subscribe to the channel
if you haven't already and if you need questions or comments or recommendations you can leave those
down below we'd be happy to get to those i would say that i've been doing a lot more zooms with
athletes lately and i highly recommend you guys checking that out i do have a link below if you
guys want to just do an individual zoom session just because we can really go in depth about your
mechanics you could ask questions we could just have a great conversation about you and how you
can improve overall as a quarterback whether that is better reading defenses whether that's specific
mechanics and then what we can do drills wise exercise wise just get you on the right track
to be able to make improvement i think at the end of the day that's what the online service is going
to really be able to provide for somebody is just being able to get you right on track to where you
need to go right and so you're i'm not going to be able to go and meet you at like a park or you know
you come to my house if you live in some other state or just really far away but the idea for me
even starting to do these breakdowns and provide this information online was to be able to help
more people in the outside kind of surrounding world and i think we've been able to do that
and all i want to just be able to do is to try to provide more resources for you to utilize so
if you're somebody that is struggling with some part of your mechanics not really getting it maybe
it's your front foot maybe it's your back leg maybe it's your wrist whether it's your shoulder
it will help you really benefit you to be able to do a zoom just because now we'll be able to go
and talk about what are some of the things within your mechanics that can change and what could be
a really limiting factor in getting the actual ability to throw the ball with good mechanics
into your brain right because it ends up being one thing to be able to understand
it and it's another thing to be able to see it and then implement it right so a lot of you guys
i think spend a lot of time watching the videos which i think is great and i really appreciate it
but if you don't understand how to implement it or have some type of coaching to be able to actually
implement it you're not going to be able to get the same results and and for the zoom sessions
i think it's a pretty reasonable price for you know what you're going to be able to get out of
it you're going to get a ton of information from doing these zooms as well as just some one-on-one
time to be able to talk about you know whatever we need to be to talk about right i do like to
connect with you guys talk to you guys i think it could be great from just a motivation standpoint
as well uh just because you know i'm somebody that is obviously very driven very motivated
to be able to achieve some of my own goals and so to be able to hear what you're trying to do
i can you know maybe direct you in understanding what are going to be some of the key steps to be
able to get there since that's something i do with athletes all the time is just help them in
understanding what are some of the necessary steps to make improvements if you know you want
to do the custom programming or the three-month program either one of those come with zooms and
you know those are going to be something that i think are obviously hugely valuable i've talked
a ton about that the custom programming just goes into what are some of the specifics that you can
utilize from a workout perspective so you know do you have dumbbells do you have kettlebells
do you have barbell you know what is your gym situation how can we utilize that to help you in
your overall performance and then when it comes to the three month program it's just having three
months of exercises drills breakdowns everything you know you just get a ton of benefit by doing
the three-month breakdown we have links for all of that down below as always guys thanks for
watching and if you're still watching now have a click that thumbs up do it now and we'll talk to
