hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be talking about the
importance of your feet when you're throwing the football or start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
talk about straight lines we also want to talk about your delivery quick we break
down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
all right so i just got off a call with a quarterback and we were talking about the
foot and the weight distribution and how you want to be able to utilize that to be able to
improve your throwing power improve your throwing velocity you know that obviously is a big thing
that i'm talking a lot with with quarterbacks uh and you know one of the things that he
brought up was that you know i was telling about how when you shift forward onto that front foot
you really want to be able to get your feet all or your weight all the way onto
you know the front part of the foot you don't want to end up having a lot of your weight
onto that heel and you know he's like explain that doesn't make any sense you know like
i feel like you should be the other way you know you should be shifting your weight onto your your
heel not your toe uh and when you really think about that concept right uh you know that doesn't
make sense right to be shifting your weight onto your heel you should be shifting your weight onto
you know the most forward part of the foot and the reason is is because you know we think about
a squat right what are so one of the main things we think about with the back squat something where
we're you know sitting back right is that we want to be able to put the weight in the heels
because we're going back right or when we're starting to decelerate we want to be you know
shifting our weight back okay um and you know when you're obviously running and decelerating
there's going to be different mechanics that go into there but the important thing to be able to
understand is that if i'm going to be shifting my weight forward right i don't want my weight to be
in the heels which is going to be something that correlates to my weight going back i want to have
my weight going to my toes which is correlated to something that is propelling me forward right and
so that's important thing to understand and not that we want to be you know going and pushing off
of our front you know we're not sprinting we're not going anywhere here but we do want our weight
to be able to shift onto the front part of the foot because that will make it so now my weight
goes all the way from you know when you're loading here you want to be loading into like that outside
you know part of the foot or you know the kind of i use i try to put a lot of my weight into the
ball of my foot but really it's going to be the forefoot right with the forefoot is going to be
the first third of the foot so as i'm loading here i want my weight to be on that first third part of
the foot but i want my weight to be going this way right so my weight shifting here as i'm i'm
loading with that that arm if you know obviously i'm going to be a little bit different position
if i'm throwing the ball deep but i'm shifting my weight here and then as i'm coming forward
i'm going to be first shifting my weight onto like the inside edge of my foot right so i'm
landing here okay and now i'm shifting my weight forward most of that weight it's going to be on
the inside part of the foot you know kind of right underneath if i was going to draw a line from my
knee straight down you know that's where it would be so it's not on my heel but it's in like the
middle kind of like the arch okay and then as i'm pushing forward or as i'm shifting forward i want
to feel all my weight move forward and then go to the outside as i'm continuing to rotate through
this is important right this is very very important for you to be able to understand
is how should i be moving my feet to be able to throw the ball with more force to be able
to add more velocity and how do i throw the ball with more power you know how do i utilize my hips
right see that is something that people are always looking up on youtube how do i better utilize my
hips when throwing you got to be able to better utilize your feet right how do you better utilize
your your uh hips when you're sprinting you got to be better utilizing your feet it's the same
thing right that it ends up correlating in a lot of ways just like what i talk about a lot
in sprinting it's a lot about rhythm it's a lot about timing right so how you're timing yourself
up and how you're loading that back that back leg you know where you're shifting through that foot
to then being able to transfer my weight forward and then here you know i have that disassociation
with my hips right i have the rotation within my hips and then i want to be able to time when i'm
moving my weight onto my front leg with when i'm bringing my hips forward or my elbow forward so
then as i'm coming through i have really my elbow leaning it so that all of my weight ends up being
behind that throw all right there's a lot of particular the particulars that go into it and
there's a lot of information i think you know the more biomechanical you can get the better science
that you have behind it the better and more clear understanding you have behind the throw now you
could really start to increase your biomechanics you can increase and improve your anatomies you
can better utilize your levers you can make it so you can maximize your throw it's not just about
going and throwing and going to the park and you know putting in a bunch of hours it's about what
are you doing within your practice hours within your practice time that's really going to make
the difference here and so you know stop being okay with throwing the ball 50 yards or 55 yards
right decide that you're going to be able to be a quarterback that can throw the ball 60 yards
decide you're going to be a quarterback that's going to have elite mechanics not okay mechanics
not good mechanics elite mechanics you shouldn't be okay with going to quarterback sessions or you
know working with other quarterbacks and being okay with being having the third strongest arm
right or even the second strongest arm you got to be the guy that has the strongest arm every single
time right that's what we want to be able to build we want to build a process for you to be able
to build and get the strongest arm and the most effective release the most effective weight shift
the most effective utilization of your body and to be able to do it quickly 12 weeks is you know it
might seem like a long time but trust me that goes very fast and you're going to get a lot of great
results so you know if you're interested go ahead and click that link down below you know we have
the link to be able to sign up we also have a link to be able to sign up with a zoom with me
to be able to go over your mechanics go over the program make it so it's a it's a one-on-one thing
here it gives you the opportunity to be able to you know better understand what's going to be in
the program and how it's going to benefit you in your overall mechanics and if you have some
video we'll even go over some video with it as well so check out the description order to learn
more about that and as always thanks for watching you can like the video subscribe you know if you
have any questions comments or recommendations leave those down below we'll keep on making
great videos like this just because i want to continue to help as many guys as i can to be
able to improve their throwing mechanics but you know if you can help me out at least subscribe to
the channel that really makes a big difference and you know share it with some of your friends family
whatever you know make it so they can see some of these videos get a little bit more views going
you know i wouldn't i wouldn't mind that either so again thanks for watching talk to you soon
