hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we'll be going over
the keys of loading that back hip and we'll start the video right now
alright so this is going to be dependent on if your right hand quarterback left-hand quarterback
for this i am a right-handed quarterback and so i'm going to be loading onto my back leg
which is going to be my right leg and you know this is something i've seen a you know a couple
of different people kind of struggle with and the couple of the issues that we'll see and we'll have
a couple different camera angles here is you know as you're loading almost going more with like a
knee forward type of movement right and we really want to be able to put an emphasis on
you know sitting back within that hip and loading that hip another thing that i'll see is really
immediately shifting forward or putting a big focus on driving here instead of rotating here
as you're initially initializing your weight coming forward and so what that looks like
and what we want to be able to first understand is that first load right so when you're going
you're stepping you want to be able to you know go from a kind of tall kind of straight up position
to then being able to sink down and load and as you're doing that you're obviously loading the
ball too so it's here and you're kind of sinking down into it right so i'm sinking down with my hip
going back my knee slightly going forward and me getting a bit of an ankle bend so i'm here
to there right and when we're looking at that what we want to see is how well are we able to
really get a stretch within our glute you should feel a bit of a stretch in your glute as you're
getting yourself set up into that position one of the things that i'll do with people if they're
struggling with this concept is you know have them just do like a single leg load right and just kind
of do it like a single leg squat because as you're stepping here i'll see people that
really struggle with like immediately shifting all of their weight onto their front leg or onto
their left leg especially in younger quarterbacks really struggle with like stepping and you know
their left foot ends up getting a lot of weight immediately where you want to be able to first
load into that back leg as you're initializing your weight coming forward right so we don't want
to immediately go here we want to have some degree of a weight transfer onto our back leg where we're
loading into that back leg and then we start to be able to shift and rotate now these are all my new
seconds that this is happening so i don't want to make it seem like you're spending like a bunch of
time loading it's all like boom boom right so it happens quick but there needs to be that load okay
you could do those single leg squats though you could do loading and then jumping right there's
a few different ways you could either even load and then jump and rotate and this really helps in
being able to understand how we want to be able to shift into that foot and even being able to shift
into that leg and then jumping could be a good way of being able to really establish some good
fundamentals for what you want to do within that back hip which is a critical part of being able
to add throwing velocity and throwing distance in your throat quarterback university is where
committed quarterbacks come to take their game to the next level improve your throwing power
velocity accuracy and get the ball out of your hands faster not only other videos to improve your
mechanics but there's also workout tutorials and also drills to help you improve as well we want to
help you get noticed which is why we also included a recruiting services section you'll have quizzes
that you'll be able to take to be able to make sure that you actually get the information and
are able to repeat it back in case you have any shoulder back wrist or elbow soreness there is
a section to address that as well click the link here in order to get started thanks for watching
so really make sure you're understanding that you want to be able to sit back into that hip
and then transfer that weight forward and even though you're getting that weight transfer
we want that initiation to be a rotational movement first so we don't want it to be
just a straight lateral push we want it to be a rotational movement and then our weight goes
it goes into you know continual lateral push to you know rotation so what happens is that a lot
of people end up you know and we want to be able to get a good stride but if it just ends up being
this right loading and then just this action now we'll end up being behind with our hips right as
we're coming through the throat we want to be able to rotate first as we're starting the motion then
coming through from there so you know that's really a key concept and something that you're
going to have to drill a bunch of times because it's different now when you go to the left and
how we want to be able to shift there and then again on the right so you want to be able to make
sure you can understand though getting into that three-step drop loading and then making that feel
something that is very very consistent in terms of every time you get into that way into that
position it's like boom load in the back leg and you're ready to throw the football all right so
definitely watch that again right rep out those drills right just going through and
just repping out loading into that back leg shifting into the back leg loading that
hip and making it so we're starting off with rotation in this back leg and just because i'm
you know starting to get this rotation going with my lower body doesn't mean i want to have
a lot of weight shift with my upper body i want to be able to keep kind of that upper body back
as i'm going and initializing the moment or the movement so you know make sure we're working on
that as we're going through and then i would say have a ball with you too just to be able to kind
of work on that load and sync up your upper body with that as well so that ends up both being very
very beneficial and as always guys thanks for watching if you have any questions go ahead and
