hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be going over the mechanics
necessary to improve your throwing power as well as distance and restart 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 really the big thing that i just want to be able to you know show here
is that being able to throw the ball further is a possibility for you no matter what your height is
your you know weight all those types of things at the end of the day it ends up being
mostly about what is the mechanics and so you know there's a lot of people that i see that are good
size guys and you know they're able to throw the ball well when it comes to you know throwing the
ball between maybe 20 and 35 yards or you'll be able to put a good amount of velocity on it and
you know really struggle when it comes to throwing that deep ball and then i also see guys that you
know can i think just move a lot more effectively to be able to throw the ball further and i work
with these guys on a very very uh regular basis and sometimes i'm just like man you know if you
guys really just watch some of this stuff that i do on youtube you can really get a lot more
benefit in your throw so i'm continuing to make these videos because i realize that not enough
people are seeing this information and therefore not enough people are actually getting a lot out
of it and so you know i was able to build myself to be able to throw the ball further and i just
utilized some of these basic principles just watching the best people throw so let's go into
it okay the we got russell wilson here on the left okay not a very big guy uh you know about six foot
but look at how he steps right and see the position that he steps and then we have
uh another athlete here uh bigger athlete you know more taller than six foot right
but a very very different process and how he's going through his initial load right so
when he's in this position we can see you know the shoulders are not the same right the height
of the football is not the same right the weight shift is not the same so what and even that front
shoulder is not the same the front arm is not the same so what ends up happening a lot of times
is people just don't know the timing here right so you can see russell wilson where he's here with
those shoulders right and he has that weight back and you know really the most common thing is just
the where the weight distribution is right so you can see here all of his weight is already forward
and he's still in his loading process within the you know shoulder and upper body and from here
you know because of what he did with the the shoulders you know he really allows himself to get
the ball way back behind the head was just going to throw out the timing so here you know this
position he's really ready to be able to throw the ball we watch this right so see where russell
wilson is in terms of how he's turned you know his body and maybe we want to go you know closer to
this position right and where where they are from a you know throwing perspective and now you know
that that's where russell wilson is able to get a lot more behind the throat right you can see
how all of his weight is shifting forward and as his weight is shifting forward that's when
he ends up releasing and and i think being able to get your body in the right position as well as
the wrist in the right position i know this is a little bit blurry here on the left so you can't
see exactly where the wrist is at but that really ends up being the name of the game right we have
to be able to get on top of the football and be able to flick the wrist effectively in order to
really maximize our overall throwing potential okay and so i'm gonna go and let's take a look
at like a michael vick video here too as well and we're gonna change up what we got on the right as
well okay so you know here's going to be another example this is going to be three step drop
right and you can see you know not very good load and see how immediately when he steps here
how all that weight is already forward right this is just not what we want to be able to do we want
to be able to sit into our hips right so see how his weight is so much further back right and then
as he's landing and michael vick had you know a great ability to be able to um generate a lot of
force within his hips you know very naturally there and and even within his front shoulder
and it's very very rotational in terms of his uh movement patterns that's made him fast as well
and so what's happening here is there's really no rotation right there's a push off uh and then i
guess a little bit of rotation here at the end but by the time he's rotating with that lower
body he's already coming forward with the arm so there's just no speed in the arm right where we
can see michael vicki's stepping and he's rotating and now he's going to be rotating with his hips
rotating with his upper body and that creates just so much speed in where he's coming from
you know this back position you know as far back an external rotation that he's in to then being
able to come through you know the football again you know based off the framing weight we can't
see a great position of the football but just know that you know when you are coming through
and you're getting your wrist on on top of the football the more neutral position you could be
on the wrist and the more you flick downwards with that pinky with the wrist is a critical part of
being able to you know throw the ball further okay so we have to be able to understand the
position of the wrist during the release and how our the ball wants to be singing our hands okay so
the common thing that ends up happening here is we see you know people with their um arm being or the
nose of the football really being either too far up or their hand not being in a neutral position
and that ends up having a big impact right so as we're coming through and this one you know we have
more of an upward position i mean he's throwing the ball like 75 yards here but notice that as the
ball comes out of his hand how he gets that pinky to come down first right so he's really flicking
that pinky downward okay you know it's this action right and i've talked about this all the
time because i see so many guys that are get that are here and then they end up almost like pushing
the ball forward right so see how that ends up being more of a push if you just like push your
uh index finger like this right like that is just a push right we need it to be here first and then
there like almost like you're you're uh you know florida state in that like seminole thing right
we want to be able to get our pinky to be coming downward on the football as we're releasing the
throw and again you know watch where he's loading he gets that front foot down okay and notice where
the hips are know is where the body is right in comparison now here on the left now we got a big
overstride so see how all of the weight ends up coming forward you guys got to understand
if you're trying to throw the ball further we can't have all of our weight onto our front leg
we have to keep our weight back we have to keep our weight on our back leg as long as we can
and really put a focus on being able to generate rotation within the hip right so see how he has
his weight back but he's still maximize rotation within the hip this is what you could work on
right just work on this this drill of being able to load right and being able to open up those hips
the best that you can and then keep your arms closed right open up the hips keep the arms closed
right and then from there you can throw through and continue to get rotation through the hips
and being able to come up over the top and this is what we do in order to make it so you can
understand how to throw the ball further we won put a huge focus on how are you using your lower
body how are you loading into the back leg into the back hip how well are you able to shift from
that back leg onto that front front leg you know when does that end up happening is it in front of
the you know mid section of the body and the upper body or does that all happen at the same time
right because you can see he's opening up with the hips first and then he opens up
with the cord then he opens up with the front shoulder right it all happens very quickly
but at least he has the right sequence like i see so many guys that really open up with their
front shoulder before they even open up with the hips right see how his front shoulder's opening
and then as his front shoulder is opening then his hips start to open right there you're just
not going to be able to throw the ball effectively and you're not going to be able to get your wrist
in the right position from there right so you can see how he ends up having to push the ball
and that knows the football is going upwards and this isn't even a deeper throw this is just like
a regular throw okay and so you know these end up being the the main causes for uh ineffective
throwing mechanics right and and so if we could really start to understand and put a focus
on you know being able to make corrections here right and and get a more of an opportunity
for our body to to work correctly as we're coming through to see how milly willis even though
i don't love his follow-through when he's coming through he has so much weight back that now he's
able to fully extend in the front leg of that hip right this one there's just no step at all and
even when he steps all of his weight immediately goes forward so now he has to actually even push
his weight back as he's coming forward and through right and this is a deeper throw look at the
shoulders you know no difference in the height look at how high the ball is okay so you know
see the difference in the height of the ball so things like external rotation things like the
load things like your ability to you know maintain the right weight shift are critical okay so that's
at the beginning right then how do we shift our weight forward how do we go through our
our transition i mean you know does the elbow drop a ton right do we get the football to
rotate as we're going through right and then from there once we can get that rotation are we able
to you know get our wrist on top and really you know follow through with that wrist flicking and
follow through with the arm get full extension through the arm and continue our weight shifting
forward and really even rotating around what he at least does is he rotates all the way around
within that throw which is really you know the name of the game here right we got to be able
to effectively understand the load right we got to get to keep the ball low we got to adjust the
shoulders we got to utilize our hips we got to be able to sit back in the hip and we also got
to generate rotation when we're first loading then we got to be able to shift our weight from
our back leg onto our front heel and when we're doing that open up within the midsection first
then the upper body and use you know some action or some strength within that upper body to really
pull ourselves back and then maintain a fast wrist position a downward wrist position as
we're getting the ball out of our hands and then full extension through the elbow massive internal
rotation of the shoulder as we're coming all the way through the throat and now we have to be able
to measure that and see consistent improvement and consistent growth but really slow it down guys
you got to figure out what is it that you are struggling with the most and how can you get a
better improvement or more improvement within that part of your throw once you can get an
understanding of that and how you can maximize you know certain parts of the throw and really break
it all down then you'll be able to put it together and once you can start putting it together you'll
be able to see some massive improvements but you know if you end up just trying to throw the ball
deep all the time then you know it's not going to end up being a great response you're going to get
and or if you just neglect throwing the ball deep even if you have size even if you
you know have good velocity and just hope that you know just with some of the velocity that you have
that the deep ball doesn't end up being something that you know holds you back i promise you it's
going to be something that holds you back so as always guys if you like the information click
that thumbs up subscribe to the channel if you have any questions comments or recommendations
leave those down below i showed you a wide variety of different types of quarterbacks here i have a
wide variety of different breakdowns of guys that are all doing the same things and that's
why i know that it's something you can learn something that is teachable but it's something
you also have to commit to it's not going to just happen for you got to be able to show up and do it
every single day and every single week so as always guys thanks for watching here
again click that thumbs up subscribe check out that 360 program down below right i think that
that's really the most valuable thing that i offer out of anything is that 3060 program
right if you can understand how to improve your throw you're going to make a huge improvement as a
quarterback so sign up for that you know get ready for a three month period of time where you could
really maximize your mechanics to not only really help you throw the ball further but also increase
your accuracy and just have a better understanding of how to stay healthy and and how to make sure
that you're going to be able to be sustainable for a long period of time as a quarterback you
don't want overuse injuries and a lot of times that happens once you start having to throw the
ball a lot of times or put a lot of velocity on that throw so again thanks for watching click that
