hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be breaking down the top
11 year old quarterback hayes mcguinness i'm going to start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance side reach your individual goals you don't want
to just talk about straight lines we also want to talk about your ability to be quick
we break down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
all right so the reason i wanted to do this is just because i've been
you know doing more breakdowns of younger athletes as they're continuing to come into the program
look to improve their mechanics at a younger age and i think that's definitely a great idea
if you're looking to be a quarterback in the future the earlier you could start
and make it so you don't get the bad mechanics or you know bad habits that then you have to correct
you know i think it will definitely help you out the thing that i wanted to do here though
is i just felt like you know looking at josh allen patrick holmes tom brady drew brees you
know all these guys when you know you're 11 comparing yourself to basically 25 30 year old
doesn't end up being the most helpful so i thought i would go ahead and break down this 11 year old
here this is supposed to be tom brady 2.0 i think it's kind of hard to be able to um you know really
guarantee that but i do think that seeing some of the fundamentals that we talk about in you know
our breakdowns ends up being beneficial so then you know what you can do you know no matter 10
eleven you know all these principles will still apply so first thing we're going to go and look
at like always we're going to look at when the the front hand leaves the ball so we'll go at um 85.33
is the time stamp there at the bottom and the ball comes out of his hand at
8 5 seven so is it a point three seven okay so that's really good overall again a lot of guys
that are in there you know 10 11 12 will be closer to 0.7 on this guys so you know getting
down 2.37 already at an early age i think it's super important another thing that you
know really stands out to me here is his load he doesn't always have a load that's this you
know kind of clean but consistently he is able to get to this position right so essentially
the reason why i say this is because i see so many guys who keep this ball so close to
their head and really when they're loading are going more kind of straight back with the ball
okay and so this ends up making it so now you never create any type of stretch within that peck
and if you don't do that then when you end up throwing the football you're just not going to
be able to put the same amount of you know force and torque behind the throw so by going here and
getting that stretch this is what is allowing him to put and have a lot of arm strength regardless
of his age right this is something that we see at again 20 year olds 25 year olds 30 year old
so you know a lot of this ended up kind of confirming that look you know some of this
ends up being built at a early age this isn't something that's just going to randomly happen to
some people and you know not having to sum to others 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 they're 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 you have to be able to you know some some people might be able
to be naturally gifted with having that external rotation but it's still something that ends up
being a important part and integral part of being able to throw the ball far regardless of the age
right so great external rotation there and then additionally great wrist position as the ball
is coming out of his hand so again a lot of the fundamentals that we talked about during the throw
even with throwing on the run right so this is a great example of you know getting that right
foot down getting the toe facing straight ahead you know again i don't know how much of this is
taught or how much of this is just you know pure kind of uh fundamentals and and things that he
just you know was able to naturally understand but he's getting the toe facing towards the target
gets the wrist in a good strong position right see how the wrist is at a neutral position it's
not turned out so like the the hand isn't like that it's upright okay that's what i'm talking
about when we say neutral wrist and then finishing through the throw from there okay another good
example of a good throw i'm going to keep on going back he has a few different throws here
you know again you know this one this one's coming from behind this kind of shows more
of how he's generating force right so from this back position you can see where you're stepping
he is kind of stepping over the side he does end up getting a lot of his momentum off to the side
that would be one of the things that i'd say you'd want to correct but he's low he's loading his hip
in this position right look at that hip angle i think that's great and then as he's pushing off
he's coming up and through and creating rotation okay that's super important guys you've got to
be coming you know somewhat up that helps you in getting more extension out of the the hips
and out of the glute so you don't want to be sinking down as you're throwing the ball you
want to be of anything coming upwards so he's loading that hip really well and then coming up
especially when you're trying to throw on time going like a three step drop five step drop
you want to be a little bit lower because then that's where your knees are going to be bent and
then as you're coming through you're pushing up and and finishing the throw from that position so
again a lot of great fundamentals of biomechanics that are helping him be successful at a young age
okay so this is an example of him keeping the ball a little bit closer to his head
right but he still ends up getting to that external rotated position
all right so this ends up being what's important here creating this stretch okay so you want to
work on this slow down your throw make it so this is something that you end up actually feeling
right because what ends up happening in my opinion what a lot of you guys are doing a lot of mistakes
you guys are doing is we're not practicing with a focused you know determination of what it is what
the outcome needs to be if you're just going and you're throwing in the park you're going to your
friends whatever your brother sisters then and you're not putting a you know focused effort on
being able to correct the certain part of your mechanics then and in all actuality
you're making yourself worse okay you want to be able to be very very focused on okay
this is what i'm trying to do within this throw this is what i'm trying to work on within this
throw so now you could actually make the improvements needed to be able to actually
get yourself to the next level if you make the mistake over and over again you're going to keep
on building in those same habits of throwing the ball incorrectly so when you go and you're
throwing you want to slow it down sometimes you don't always have to have a receiver to throw to
i throw it to the net all the time right because i want to really work on maybe how i'm pushing off
my back leg how i'm absorbing my weight through the front leg right just doing three five step
drops so many guys i see are uncomfortable doing a three step drop uncomfortable doing a five step
drop and it's like you don't really want to be a quarterback man like if you really want to
be a quarterback you should feel so comfortable doing a three-step drop to the right and to the
left you shouldn't be off balance you should be able to shift all your weight from your back leg
to your front leg there's so many video i've made a bunch of videos there's a ton of videos
online like you guys shouldn't be making that mistake right same type of thing with you know
even using your lower body in general i've made so many videos about using your lower body you
guys shouldn't be making that mistake the reason you're making that mistake is not because you're
not putting in enough time not because you're not putting in enough practice not because you're you
you know need more coaching or this or that or the other it's because you when you go and you
practice are not actually focused and engaged in what it is that you're doing it's not ten thousand
hours that's going to make you great it's being able to take those ten thousand hours and be very
focused in you know your practice okay there's a book about that where you it is not about just
practicing for practice sake it's about having focused disciplined practice that's really going
to be the separator and make it so you can be a professional in whatever it is that you want to do
so as always guys thanks for watching if you have any questions go ahead and leave those down below
like the video subscribe to the channel and check out the description down below we got the throw
program i really recommend you guys if you're you know 11 or you have a kid that's 11 years old and
you know looking to get better i really recommend you guys doing the thrill program just because
we give you the right guidelines to be able to understand what are the correct mechanics and how
to be able to get there what are the drills what are the exercises and really create a throwing
specific program for you to be able to work on that and right now you know if you could end up
being a 11 12 year old throwing the ball 40 45 yards that's gonna really separate you when it
comes to getting into the high school ranks and really getting yourself noticed at an earlier age
which i know a lot of you guys are trying to do so definitely check that out in the description
down below if you have any questions let me know and thanks for watching we'll talk to you soon
