hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today i'm going to be going over the
three phases of throwing the football and we're going to start the video right now
all right so just the other day i made a video about lower back pain when you're throwing and
how you can avoid that in that i reference that there are three different phases of throwing the
football there's a video for that and then i realized that i actually haven't made a video
and put that on youtube so i thought i would go ahead and do that here today should be super
informational for you guys so if you like it go ahead and click that thumbs up down below that
helps us out a ton subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and if any questions comments
recommendations leave those below and we're going to go into the three different phases right now so
the first thing is going to be the load and really what i always talk about when i do my breakdowns
and more of my individual breakdowns but i talk about how when you the picture of the throw goes
a lot into the load and a lot into the finish and or the follow through and if you can understand
you know what's going to be correct within the load and understand what's correct within the
follow-through then it's a lot easier to be able to get the transition which would be the second
phase uh back in line but i do want to give you a good understanding of what's going to happen
in those phases so the first one's going to be the load right and when you talk about the load
what ends up being a big part of it ends up being being able to kind of shift back and there's a
lot of different ways of how people are going to use their arms to be able to you know load
the football but it's just that initial movement right so in that load what we want to be doing is
we want to be stepping we want to be rotating with our hips right and getting that initial movement
through there and then we also want to be loading our arm whether it's going back whether it's going
here whether it's going up everybody's going to be different in how they're loading but we do want to
get initial load within the lower body as well as initial load within the upper body all right then
the second part is going to be the transition part and this is really going to be the most important
part of the throw this is going to be where most of the errors happen this is going to be
where i think there's the most amount of maybe misunderstanding within the throat so we get
into our load position right we're here and then from this position what ends up wanting to happen
is we drive that elbow through we get that ball up we transition our weight from the back leg to
the front leg you know get that the full rotation so we should already be in this position with that
back heel you know having that back heel up but we want to have that weight back and then from here
we would be shifting our weight forward during the transition right as we're driving our elbow up and
through arm up and through getting the nose of the football to be facing straight ahead right and so
a lot of times what we see our common mishaps here is you know as people are starting to transition
their front to their front leg we'll see people straighten out that front leg and be kind of
stop that hip rotation we'll also see people get the ball too far back we'll see the elbow drop
that's all things that are happening within the transition phase which is the second phase of the
throw and then the last part is going to just be the follow through right so now we've gotten to
here and now we just want to you know flick the wrist follow through all the way get the hips to
continue to rotate even through the follow-through that's a common mistake that we'll see is that
during that transition phase sometimes the hips will stop which will make it so that you don't get
the full follow-through within the lower body that's really going to impact your ability to
generate a lot of force within the throw really utilize a lot of that lower body effectively
and then also when you're coming through with the arm we want to be able to follow all the
way through with our chest and our shoulders we don't want to end up kind of stopping ourselves
as we're going want to be able to get full rotation during that follow through so those
are the three phases again we're going to go over the load phase the transition phase
and the follow through or the finish okay and so once you can understand again you want to
get a great load and you want to get a great follow-through and being able to do those two
very well will really make it so then the transition won't be as bad then you could
really start to focus on the transition but you know there's a lot of times i could see you know
just by people usually it's the load right people don't load correctly and then everything else is
messed up right and so but you also see people that don't finish correctly and because of that
we know that the transition is messed up right so you want to be able to really analyze what it
is you're doing within the throw and that will give you and point you a better picture of what
it is that you need to work on at least that does that helps me out and i like to be able to have
different systems and processes set up to make it so it's a little bit easier for me to be able to
analyze something and understand it and see how we can address it so again if you're able to you know
look at a load let's say and the load looks clean and then we look at the finish and the finisher's
messed up then we know that there's probably something to happen within the transition phase
that could have had a impact on on the throw just a quick example right um or there's a lot
of different ways that obviously people throw um you can see a you know transition phase that
ends up being you're not not clean and then say okay that the load could be impacting the
transition phase so that really gives us a great better understanding of what we need to work on
and then gives it gives you the opportunity to then have specific drills to be able to work on
the parts of the throw that need to be changed so as always guys thanks for watching again
