hey what's up everyone Mario kartson here and today we're going to be going over one
thing you could do to add accuracy to your throw when you start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
sometimes say lines we also want to talk about usually quick we break down your videos let's make
you into the quarterback I know you can become all right so this is something that I get all the
time right how can we improve our accuracy it's also something that seems to be searched a lot
by uh quarterback so I want to go over one thing that I think uh can be very very beneficial for a
quarterbacks especially the quarterbacks that are struggling with power right so uh that's obviously
a big thing that we focus on within our throw program is being able to help you and being able
to improve throwing velocity throwing power things like that and so with that you end up wanting to
create more torque to end up wanting to be able to utilize your spine more right there's more
more parts of your body that you want to recruit in order to generate more obviously torque and so
what happens here is guys will end up kind of leaning to the side with their head right and
allowing that head to get off base and that's going to really cause uh the accuracy issues
right so if I'm here and I'm coming straight back straight forward right you can see how my
head stays more onto like a straight plane right but when I start going to the side here now that
creates more separation between my head and my and the football in my hand which makes it so now it's
harder to have a great understanding of where this ball ends up going right the more that my
eyes and and the release Point are close the more I'm going to be able to have control the more uh
where I'm looking and you know where I'm trying to get the ball to go it syncs up right it's the same
thing with darts you know when they're trying to throw darts they're not going here right they're
trying to aim here and get their eyes right behind their hand same type of thing here right
we're trying to just come right up to forward and through I'm going to show you guys something okay
so we can see here the difference between the the two athletes and and I was going to do it
with my own personal throw but I didn't have a great angle with the the video where it was at
um or where I decided to throw the ball um and I figured Josh Allen is going to be a better
option anyway and so we can see these are both similar parts of the of the throw we can already
see issues with the load here in terms of the ball position in terms of the direction of the
football that's going to impact the wrist but what's important here and and you know a good
note to take would be or a thing to think about with in terms of your mechanics is keeping your
head inside of your foot your front foot for as long as you can right so you want to feel your
weight be on the inside part of the foot and not transfer to the outside part of the foot or even
get to the you know middle part of the foot until after the throw after you release the throw so we
can see here what's happening is as he's going through he's leaning to the side with his spine
and with his head okay and not only does that make it so it's a lot more difficult to be accurate but
also takes away the amount of power that you're able to generate okay because he's not utilizing
his hips here he's utilizing momentum built up from the spine and why that ends up not being
being great is because it's a more of a lateral Bend right when it's a lateral shift that doesn't
create any type of rotation here okay when we're loading when we're throwing they talk about hip
and shoulder disassociation right we want to be able to get our shoulders to be able to
load back right kind of have a hidden position and then as they're coming forward we want to be
able to rapidly rotate through the shoulders and through that mid spine to generate velocity in the
shoulder velocity in the arm when we're leaning to the side we're not generating rotation we're
laterally bending right when we see Josh Allen here notice how he's rotating through and and
driving that front shoulder back right that front elbow back which makes it so now he's
much more in line with his front foot you know as the the ball's leaving her his hand
okay and that's really the idea is we want to be able to maintain as much of an inline
position as you can right so you can see here we're still kind of in line
okay with the the head right we're in a similar spot and then as the ball is coming out continue
shift here okay and why that ends up being important is you know again you're not going to
be able to generate as much speed in the arm right and you're not going to be able to use the arm and
really the wrist as well to really come down and flick on it and it's going to make it so the ball
doesn't come out of your hand consistently right when you come through and there's more of like
a straight action with that elbow with that hand now you have a much more likelihood of
using that wrist or the index finger to really flick the ball um in that index finger will be
the last finger to be on the football as it's leaving okay when you start to go to the side
what happens is it's harder to get the wrist around which makes it so it's much more likely
to have the ring or the pinky finger being the last finger to be touching the ball which makes
it so now the ball is going to be spinning more like sideways rather than spinning with the nose
going directly towards your target right when you're here the nose is going to be going more
towards the target when you're here the nose of the football is going to be going more to the
side all right so I hope that ends up making sense to you if you have any questions you can go ahead
and leave those in the comments down below send me an email give me a call whatever ends up being the
easiest for you it is at the beginning of 2023 if you're looking to get better with your mechanics
then you know let's start getting on some video calls let's start going and doing some breakdowns
and start really getting into the specifics of how you can improve right the main thing that
you know if you have a willingness to get better right you have a desire to improve whether it's
your mechanics your release uh your ability to throw the ball further with more accuracy all of
those be more consistent there has to be a level of commitment there has to be a decision where you
get to a point where you're like okay uh where I've gotten to now is the furthest I'm going to
go uh based off of what I've currently been doing right and decide that you need to take a different
step okay there's a lot of guys that it's getting too late right if you're getting to if you're
in your sophomore season and you're not getting very many looks you need to make a change right
it definitely if you're going into your Junior season right and you haven't gotten you know
you're not having College interest right you need to make some big changes for seniors it might be a
little bit too late for you to be honest with you but there's a potential especially if you could
really add in some additional length before going to camps here in the spring because you don't
have very much time right all these colleges are really trying to I mean they already passed one
part of the uh Signing Day right a lot of teams have already decided who they're going to offer
um and who's going to get scholarships going into 2024. so I you know definitely don't waste your
time here okay let's get going let's get you guys better let's get you guys being able to throw the
ball further let's get on to a consistent program the main thing is you got to be willing to send
in video If you're willing to send in video we're willing to do the work willing to do the drills
we have different options set up for you I'd be willing to work with you to make it so it makes
sense for you makes sense for me um it makes it so you can take it to the next level we have a ton
of different options in terms of payment uh you know it's down as low as 49 a month as high as 200
a month or you can pay for a full three months so yeah there's a lot of options here want to
be able to help you out thanks for watching like the video subscribe the channel check out some of
the other things we have on here to help you out with your mechanics and we'll talk to you soon
