hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have a great new video for you today it's going
to be on really helping you understand that lower body push off to make it so you can better shift
off that back leg onto the front leg and be able to maximize your throwing power maximize your
throwing distance and really making sure you're able to up your game as a quarterback so as always
if you like that information go ahead and click that thumbs up down below subscribe to channel if
you haven't already and if you have any questions comments recommendations anything like that go
ahead and leave those down below we're gonna hop in the video right now all right so first thing
that we got here is we have more of like a novice athlete on the right and this is something that i
see a lot and then we have my homes here on the left and what really stood out to me and really
this like i just woke up this morning and it came to me while i was kind of getting myself up um
it is how to be able to push off the back leg with a little bit better overall force and this
has been something i've been really thinking about a lot lately and i think that this will really end
up helping you guys out so you can see you know here we can see uh mahomes what he does he loads
into that that back leg and we're doing a drill here too where you know he's gonna be loading into
his back leg as well right and so what ends up happening is when he loads in the back leg though
he goes and pushes and immediately kind of stops the the whole overall motion going on within
that that front foot right so you can see how as pushing off the back leg it really doesn't get any
where the movement is actually going is that way right is the real point of the issue and i think
what's really causing a lot of uh athletes to lose their ability to generate force right they go from
that down kind of up and then that's really it as they come through the throw where what i'm
thinking that will really help you guys out as you go and you kind of load and you get down
and then we can see that mahomes drives himself he's driving himself forward but
he's also driving himself up so he's more on like that type of a trajectory not too high
up but more on kind of a forward and up trajectory and then as he starts to come through he actually
starts to come down through that hip so see how right here at the end how he starts to really
absorb and come down through that that continues that rotation all the way through and so when
you what you what you want to do is when you get onto that back leg you're going to absorb through
there and you want to be pushing forward and you also want to be slightly pushing slightly upwards
in order to make it so then as you get your front foot down and are rotating onto that front foot
you're able to bend through that front leg right because that's going to cause a deceleration
proponent into the actual throw right so if you're pushing yourself a little bit slightly upwards
then when you go onto that front leg and you land now you're going to be able to bring yourself more
downwards through the throat as long as you have good front foot you know mechanics the guy here on
the the right he you know obviously has a lot to work on and and we can see that front foot ends up
going into a lot of extension right we see this a lot with quarterbacks where they extend that front
leg the reason is because they're not continuing to rotate their force all the way through
and so therefore they're not absorbing any weight on that front leg they're stopping their hips and
just kind of propelling the ball up and out from there where what you want to do is you want to be
pushing up that back leg generating rotation push slightly up through that back leg to make it so
now in the front foot and front leg you're able to absorb a little bit more effectively and continue
to rotate all the way through the hips and i think that's going to really help you guys out just to
make that subtle difference of that push off the back leg to really maximize your ability to
again generate force and have a little bit better control when you're throwing the ball
all right guys thanks for watching the video here if you found the information helpful you can go
ahead and check the description down below and we have some different options in terms of throw
breakdowns throw programs i really recommend you guys get into the throw program especially
any of you guys that are looking to improve your throwing power uh velocity we do have you know
two parts of that program it's going to be a big focus on really understanding the mechanics that
are going to get better um and really what you're going to get is unlimited breakdowns through there
i think that might say there are six on there but you're going to really get unlimited whenever you
need to get a breakdown you will i need to change that but um big thing that you're going to get
to me is the programs right and the exercises that you can do some of you guys might be in a
weight program something that you know you're you're bench pressing and you're doing military
press you're doing a lot of the traditional stuff this is going to be much more of
a shoulder specific program where you're going to be working on stretching and range of motion
and achieving certain ranges within the shoulder that are going to maximize your performance
when it comes to throwing the football and so i highly recommend it even if you're in a program
with your high school doing this it's not going to overdo it you're not going to give a ton of
extra it's just going to create the range of motion that you need within the shoulders is
going to be able to really focus on getting a lot more core development i think a lot of programs
are under developing athletes core this is going to really be able to maximize that and then we're
going to also be able to get a lot more balance and control out of the lower body really recommend
you guys checking that out but as always thanks for watching the videos and we'll talk to you soon
