hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be talking about the front
arm when we're throwing the football and we'll start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
talk about straight line speed 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 this is a big topic that we were talking about a lot with athletes within the
program just because it can really help when you're properly syncing up that front arm
when you're going to release the ball there's a couple things that it really does to really make
it so you can add more distance and you know also improve the timing overall of being able to get
the ball out of your hands and so you know what we want to be able to think about with that front
arm and it's going to be a little bit different for everybody right everybody's not going to have
that same front arm movement just like we're not going to have the same trajectory with the back
arm but we do want to think about there's kind of a correlation in how we're using our throwing arm
with how we're using that front arm right and so what we want to do when we're loading and we're
going to have a camera here on this side as well to help us out but what we're going to do or what
we're going to think about is you know as we're loading back we're going to kind of load back
a little bit with this back elbow you know that front shoulder is going to come up a little bit
more when we're throwing it deep but really we're going to be you know here we have our
front our elbow out in front and then when we load we're going to be bringing that elbow back
behind okay so what happens when we bring that elbow back behind is we kind of want to load this
front arm as well and so we see like josh allen justin herbert guys like that will actually kind
of reach out with that front arm to be able to really create that disassociation because what's
happening on that lower side is you're pushing off you're trying to create rotation here you
know some guys are stepping more out here so when you go and step out here and get this front arm
to kind of rotate around here it really creates a good amount of stretch within that core which is
what that disassociation is and so what we want to think about here with this front arm is not
necessarily you know the worst thing you can do is allow that front arm to open before you start
transitioning through with your back elbow what you want to be doing is you want to be able to
you know get yourself in this position and you know i don't really go too far out in
front of this arm i will i'll kind of go you know a little bit out in front here but then from here
as i start to transfer forward here i do want to be pulling with this elbow right i don't want to
end up pulling with my hand right that we see this mistake sometimes where people will open up here
with their hand okay and that's going to end up really making it so you're leaning off to the side
we want to be here and getting that ball or that front hand out in front and then pull
with that elbow as we're coming forward with that football so the elbow really wants to be
pulling here as we're also driving that front up elbow through or that throwing elbow through
now what that does is it makes it so now it's a little bit easier for us to be able to sync up
getting this forearm in a more upright position what you don't want to be doing here is you don't
want to be throwing from here especially on those deeper throws we really want to be able to get you
know to this position and you're going to still have you know that that uh knows the football
is going to be facing straight ahead but you want to be able to get that forearm as parallel as you
possibly can and you're going to end up being able to generate more torque when you can start to use
that front arm to also sync up with the you know back arm back elbow to be able to generate again
more torque more force more speed and all those things are going to be able to help you in
being able to improve your overall timing within throwing the football now
in order to do this properly you do want to be able to understand how you are utilizing the
lower body right so make sure you're loading into that back leg you're getting a good step with that
front foot you got your front foot facing in the right direction you have good weight distribution
all those things end up being important right so you can't really move too fast
with your overall development here right so if you are still struggling and being able to
load the back leg the back hip that front you know how to to shift your weight onto the front leg
you know those things are really you want to be able to focus on first and then you can kind of
start to build in that front arm position and also with the wrist you know you really got to be able
to get that wrist in a good position as well you know once you start to be able to pull with that
front arm it should be able to uh you know sync in well with what you're doing already with the wrist
but if you don't have the right time in there yet you know it might be a little bit too early to be
able to implement that front arm position so you know it really depends on where you are in your
development that's why i always recommend you guys to actually join the program i give these
videos for you if you you know don't have the means i guess to be able to actually be a part
of it hopefully you can still learn get a better understanding of like what we're doing within the
the quarterback program but the whole idea here is for you guys to realize like you know if i
actually participate in this program you're going to get a lot more distance a lot more velocity and
really most importantly a lot more understanding of what you should be doing in order to improve
your throw right most of you guys don't understand you know what you need to do and there's
honestly there's a good amount of quarterback coaches that don't understand exactly what needs
to be done in order to improve somebody's throwing distance and so what we want to be able to do is
make it so there's a really systemic way or you know process in order to actually see results
within your throwing performance and that's what we've been able to set out within the program so
if you're interested in that go ahead and click that link down below in order to find out more
you could also just get like the throw breakdown you know there's a lot of things you could do the
throw breakdown obviously isn't going to be as much value but that 30 program if you're looking
to be able to improve your throwing distance your throwing velocity get better understanding really
be a part of a community that is is dedicated to improving their throwing mechanics that's
going to be the thing for you and to me you know it's a great price as well so as always thanks
