hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be going over the
nine parts of the throw and we're going to start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
just 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
alright so i'm really excited about this video just because i think there's going to be a ton
of great information for quarterbacks i think it's going to really help you guys out in really
understanding what are all you know the the keys the components the parts of the throw that
are going to be necessary in order for you to have success i really think it's nine you could
probably probably make it up to 12 to be honest with you i could probably continue to break it
down more and more and more and i do want you guys to realize when you're watching this that
the mechanics that i have learned has been all taught through watching the top quarterbacks
perform right i watch aaron rodgers drew brees um you know dan marino tom brady joe montana patrick
mahomes josh allen russell wilson i watched these guys throw and based off of their mechanics i'm
able to see what are the fundamentals right what do these guys all share and i then utilize that
into putting it into my own throwing mechanics now i don't have a perfect i'm not an nfl quarterback
by any means but i do want you guys to realize that this is something that is definitely taught
right it's not something that i just learned or was gifted with it is something that can be
taught you can learn it you just have to take the time the energy and the effort into consistently
working on it in order to get there so first thing is going to be the grip right so you can see what
my grip is and i've changed it a bunch over the years i first used to have really three fingers on
the laces here my my second finger is a little bit above the laces and then i have my index finger
really high i like spreading out my fingers more i think that gives me a little bit more wrist look
on the ball a little bit more control and it does make a difference on my deeper throws but you know
really the main thing here is understanding that your your grip ends up being super super important
and making sure that you have a good understanding of what works best for you you know you do want to
have that like c position your hands we'd have made videos about the grip in the past and i
don't want to skip that in terms of you know what's something that's really important and
the next part is going to be the load and i don't want to by any means you know try to to take away
from you know where the load ends up being important because really when you're loading you
can see i load in two places right i load with my arms right and where my position is of you know my
my shoulder and my hand my wrist everything like that but then i also load within the legs right so
i'm standing tall right and then i go and i load into that hip and then you know because that ends
up being a critical part of how you throw is how do you load right it's the same thing with how you
jump how you accelerate how you do those things is in a direct correlation to how well you're able to
load or how well you're able to get yourself ready and set up to be able to throw jump whatever
a load ends up being a big thing now with that load and there's a lot of different ways you
could do this you could be high you could be low um you could really have no load at all damn reno
was somebody that really had a super fast load you know for me what i'm just trying to do and
that's what with the upper body everybody has to kind of load into that lower body to then
allow them to create a push off right so the main thing that you want to be able to understand
is the loading is a way for your muscles to be able to stretch or prep themselves to be able to
then contract with a lot of force and so what you have to be able to do is load with that lower body
to then be able to push off and get your momentum coming forward right and as i'm getting that
hip to start to come around what that's doing and pushing off that back leg is it's creating
what's called hip and shoulder disassociation so what that essentially means is you want to
be able to get your hips to be able to come around more than your upper body is right
so you want to keep that front shoulder back and start to open up the hips this is something that
i could definitely improve on here but you can see my hips are starting to come through
my hip my shoulders are also coming through as well even though i'm trying to keep them close
but this is something that is an important part of it right so first we've had the grip
then we have load that we have disassociation or sorry push off and then we have disassociation
so those are the four that we've done so far this association is you know being able to
separate that lower body and upper body you know really get those those hips around there okay i
know this ball looks back behind my head a lot here but it's definitely not as far back as it
looks like i'm like you know almost concerned i'm going to get a better angle now because of
how bad that looks but no it's not because you can see how it comes through anyway um all right
so the next part is going to be the transition phase number five and the transition is so we're
loading right so some of this has to do with you know how the body's going through so we we loaded
now i'm pushing off that back leg i'm creating that disassociation the best that i can
opening up that front hip and now what's happening is the ball starting to come forward right and
what's important is we want to be able to keep the ball the best that we can in a good plane where
it's not getting too far back behind us you can see i'm allowing that ball to maybe get a little
bit too far back behind me here but really you know you want to maintain a good position within
you know with that ball because once it gets too far back behind you it's going to throw
off the timing of your throw because once it gets back there too far behind you here
it's going to really throw off the timing of your throat so you want to be controlled in how far
back that ball is getting and you know really not spend too much time going here but really get be
really quick to be able to get that wrist coming around that's one of the main things we talk about
a lot is is having that fast wrist being able to come around so now we're throwing with our
wrists as much on top of the elbow as possible and really making it so we're having a you know fairly
straight forearm as we're coming through the actual throw so that ability to really transition
with that ball ends up being a big thing the next thing right and all these things are happening so
quickly right so like five six seven are all happening basically simultaneously so five is
transition right number six is spine position and arm position right so this ends up being
how is my spine is my spine leaning too far over to the side is it leaning back is it too
far forward you know do i have good strong core rotation all those things end up being critical
at this particular part of the throw you have to be able to control that spine at this part and you
know what we commonly see is people leaning over to the side too much especially on those deeper
throws that's something that i can go into as well um you know like that it's a mistake of mine too
um and so being able to control the spine position arm position is critical right and
then the other big thing is how well are we able to control this front leg right so the ability
to control the front leg and balance through that front leg is also a critical part here
again these are all happening simultaneously the spine position arm position the transition of the
arm forward and being able to stabilize through that front leg and almost more importantly like
as you're releasing you want to still be able to get your weight coming forward right i see so many
people that they get to this point you know where they're about to release and they already have
you know shifted all of their weight where their hips are up over their heel right and what that
does is that makes it so now as the ball is coming through you don't have any more behind
it you want to be able to release the ball with more force ready to be generated and created there
and so you have to understand that once you get to this position you want to have still more in the
tank so then when you release it you know you're you're still moving forward right you don't want
to end up blowing all of your force during the load or during the transition you want to have
you know a lot of strength still left over i mean not a lot of strength but like 85 to 90 percent
still left in the tank when you're you know flicking the ball and releasing the ball because
at the end of the day that ends up being you know the main thing it's like right when you're about
to leave the ground when you're jumping you know you're storing energy storing energy story energy
when that foot is coming off the ground that's really when you start to propel yourself forward
or upwards and so you have to be able to utilize all that you know potential that force potential
there at the end it's the same thing here like you want to be building all that force potential
at the end so then when you do number nine or sorry number eight flick the wrist you have a lot
in your in your body to be able to really let that wrist flick right and what's important when you're
flicking the wrist is that the wrist should be able to turn that arm over should fully extend
right turn that wrist all the way or that arm all the way over so now the elbow is facing straight
up i went from the elbow going here almost facing like downwards to as i'm releasing
turning all the way around so now my pinky's up my elbow's up and i'm coming down and across as i'm
flicking the wrist and then following through all right and that ends up being a critical part
here guys how well you're able to flick the wrist is really you know to me to make it or
break it right because you can you know go to the beach right go to the park go see somebody throw
a football or a baseball and based off of their wrist flick you'll be like oh wow that guy has an
arm or not i guarantee you could tell how well somebody could throw just by seeing how they
flick the wrist and or if whether or not they're able to throw the ball well so work on your wrist
flick understand how to control the wrist it's super important and then the last thing is yeah
the follow through you know want to be following through down towards that back or towards that
that front left pocket there as you're coming through i'm coming a little bit too far across
i would say i'd like to see it more downwards and across there um but yeah i mean we all have flaws
right like watching this i'm saying you know my front um or my spine position isn't great
right i think i get the ball back too far behind my head
i didn't follow through great i didn't have great uh hip and shoulder disassociation
right so there's a lot of things to be able to work on guys like when you send in your breakdowns
when we do this program this is not an easy thing to be able to really get all these steps correct
that's why you need to get coaching that's why you want to have a process that's why you want
to have somebody that is able to look at it and say okay this part needs to get better this is how
we can make those improvements and so that's why i'm always trying to educate you guys to be able
to help you and understanding that like this is complicated there's a lot that goes on it should
be simple right i don't want to make it so you have too many different things going on but what
happens with a lot of quarterbacks is that if you don't get a structured program it ends up being
way too much right because now you're thinking about a lot of different parts of your mechanics
when really it should be you know one or two things that are really priority because based
off of what's going on within your throw we want to really prioritize again one or two things and
really priority is making one thing the main part but a lot of times there's one thing that could
also go into another so that's why i say you know one or two but you know i don't like to going into
anything over two because now it starts to make it so your mind gets cluttered it starts to make
it so you get a little bit more confused it starts to make it so you really you know don't
understand what's going on that ends up being the main thing that i think is super uh disappointing
that that i see with quarterbacks and and quarterback coaches is when they're getting
confused when the athletes are getting confused they don't know exactly what they should be doing
because of how it's all being taught and so that's why i want to make it all simple that's
why i do these videos to make it so hopefully for you it could be very simple in understanding
how to improve your mechanics so check out the throw program that we have down below it is 50
off for the rest of january i think it's a great deal guys you know it's going to be
2022's program is better than any program it has ever had my understanding of how to teach
mechanics and and how you should be throwing is better than it's ever been and so you know i'm
really doing this just to be able to help you guys out get a good jump start into january and 2022 um
but you know hopefully you get more new people to be able to sign up as well you know i have a
lot of people that have been doing this for a long period of time and would like to get more and more
new people to be able to sign up so if you guys are interested go and check the link down below
and it's a money gap back guarantee so if you guys have any issues or anything like that i'd be
happy to give your money back so uh yeah thanks for watching again and we'll talk to you soon
