hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today i'm going to be going over some of the common
mistakes we see when it comes to loading that back leg and we'll 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 delivery quick
we break down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
all right so we're getting deep into this 3060 program and one of the main things we're seeing
is a lot of issues with loading back that back leg so as a right-handed quarterback i'm going
to be loading that right back leg into order to be able to throw with more distance going forward
and so i just want to go over some of the things that we're seeing here that are common and i think
that could really help you in being able to really generate more force from that back leg so you know
one of the main things that we want to be able to see and understand is that when you're loading
we want to see ankle flexion right the ability to bend in that ankle we want to see knee flexion the
ability to bend in the knee and then we also want to see hip flexion the ability to bend in the hip
right so we want to be able to kind of sit back into that throw right so when we're starting out
here what i'll see is a lot of people go and they immediately kind of shift their weight forward
right they don't really get any type of load into that back leg and it's important
especially when you're trying to throw the ball deep so we're going in or maybe hitch or whatever
and we get that front shoulder to come up that lower shoulder to come down we really want to be
able to load into that leg right so you can see good ankle flexion good knee flexion good hip
flexion this is big parts that we do within like the training to be able to prep you to be able
to throw the ball further you know we want to be able to work good ranges within those three areas
to make sure that you're unable to understand how to be able to implement that when it comes to you
know improving your overall throwing distance and really throwing velocity as well so that's
one of the main things i'll go from this side as well so you could just kind of see you know
loading and kind of sitting into that back leg you know how that should look right so you want
to be able to everyone's going to be different but you do want to have some degree of flexion
here you don't want to be just transferring your weight forward or only like you know sitting back
you know you want to have some ankle flexion some knee flexion and some hip flexions especially
when it comes to throwing the ball you know further and increasing your ability to add
more distance into your throw another thing that i see is just improper placement of the weight right
so when you're throwing here we really want to make sure we have a lot of the weight on like the
ball of the foot the inside part of the foot you don't have a lot of time to be able to really
load into that back leg right so even though we're going to be putting a lot of pressure here
we don't have time to get all of our weight like onto our heels or the back part of our leg
all of our weight should be really on like the inside kind of ball of the foot there we don't
necessarily need to have that heel down in the ground too you could have that heel a little
bit upwards to help you in being able to push off you know that back leg right so i'm here i have a
good amount of weight in the ball of my foot and now i'm going to be able to really push my weight
forward here and i'm using that to create this step i really want to make sure that this step
is getting out in front of me here i don't want to end up being you know too close with this step
that gives me a good indication of how much i'm loading into my back leg when i'm loading my back
leg well i'm able to really get a good solid push forward you know off of there and and that helps
me getting that rotation and lateral shift moving forward within the throw so that ends up being
another big thing that we see when it comes to you know being able to properly load that back leg
is making sure that we have the weight within the right part of that foot more that that inside
you know kind of edge there and then when we're pushing you know we want to be landing and again
we want to be rotating here and we want to land with more of the weight like you know maybe
middle part of the foot some people more on like the heel of the foot you know this is going to
just end up making it so now we can keep some of that weight back another main thing i've kind of
alluded to it already that we see is that people you know if you're not loading that back leg well
you might just be shifting your weight too far forward you know too soon so immediately all your
weight is like on your toe or on the front part of your part of your foot or really you should be
going and pushing off here and really having more weight on like the middle part of your
foot so then as you come forward you can then come forward and through and shift your weight
onto the outside part of your foot and also onto like your your outside pinky there so you
can feel a lot of lack of range of motion within like your feet when you're trying to shift your
weight forward and if you have an inability to really push through you know through that
big toe or through like the the really all your toes you could have some limitation within that
front part of your foot your forefoot is what it's called which could be really inhibiting
your ability to get all of your weight through as you're finishing the throw right and then
when that happens it can impact how you're able to you know load the back leg i always talk about
how important it is for you know the load and then the finish and so if you're not able to finish
properly that will really impact how well you're able to you know load through that back leg so
really put an emphasis on those first two things and how you know you're able to shift your weight
create good knee bend and then also make sure that you have that weight on the inside edge of
you know your your back foot there right so it's really on like the big toe again ball of the
foot area and then you want to be able to push and rotate there right we don't want to end up
you know only pushing or only rotating right when you guys are there only rotating
they'll end up going and really opening up that foot and usually not taking too big of a step
and guys that end up only going this way will just not load in that back leg well so there's a lot of
great things that we could see that could help you and throwing the ball further just by looking to
see how you're able to load that back leg and this video will help you in being able to understand
how to correct those and how to be able to improve those in a fairly fast amount of time so
you know as always thanks for watching if you like the information go and click that thumbs up
subscribe the channel if you have any questions comments or recommendations you can leave those
down below this is a video we're going to use a ton within our 3060 program if you're interested
if you've seen some of the other things that we've been talking about with the 3016 you want to be
able to improve your throwing distance this is a great time to be able to do it we're in the middle
of march here and it's really a great time to be able to really focus on improving your throwing
mechanics especially if you have something going on within your throw that you think can you know
really improve or if you're a bigger quarterback that really is not able to maximize their body
the best of their ability you know this program is really going to be able to help you out and i make
these videos to really be able to help guys that are you know struggling to be able to understand
you know just from a basic mechanical perspective but also for people that are in the program that
might need some individual coaching to be able to help them and being able to get that much further
but just know that if you're in the program i'm always making these types of videos to help you
guys out so i don't know exactly what ends up being a main thing for you until i start seeing
breakdowns and you know being able to see your throw then i could be able to help and
so you know based off of that then that's when i send over video make it so we can get you on
some drills and some exercises and things like that but you know really getting a good concept
of what it is that we want to do within that 3060 program so you know understanding this part of it
will then lead to getting exercises and drills and things that will help you in being able to
you know open up those parts of your body to then be able to actually see the improvement
you know within your throwing mechanic so you know as always guys thanks for watching i know
i'm always going pretty quick here but i'm just passionate about you know throwing mechanics and
making it so i could help you guys out so you know hopefully you're able to stay with me if not you
could always rewind it and watch it again and if you have any questions comments or recommendations
like i said check those out down below and you know if you want to check out that 360 program
