What's up everyone morey croson here from the Performance Lab of California, we're going
to do another throw video today and a member video and throw video.
So I the big focus here is going to be on the front leg, I mean, there's a lot of controversy,
a lot of different ideas for what we should be doing when the front leg as you get onto
the front leg.
And really, there's a lot of effective ways to get there, you don't have to only be one
sided here in the approach to how you can get on or what the front legs should be doing,
and how the really the knee should end up being.
But there are some things that you definitely want to stick away from or that are harder
to achieve the throne when you do them.
Okay, so the big thing is, if you're, if you're stopping your ability to transfer on that
front foot, because you're extending the knee, and kind of pushing yourself and back with
the toe and lifting your heel like that, that's gonna basically be a no, no, right?
So that's when you're here, and you're coming forward with a new stock yourself and you
end up throwing like this, you're very far forward, sometimes guys will be ended up kind
of leaned over to the side and kind of pushed down here, right, my hips are going this way.
So essentially, how how that hip wants to be is you want to be here and you want to
be transferring that weight on that front leg and allowing yourself to become be able
to come all the way through and maintain everything nice and upright, if you end up coming through
and hitting an end range of motion, that's when you go and try to hybrid.
So now when you can effectively get out of that front leg and transfer all the way through,
you know, generally, your your foots going to be somewhat bent.
Right now, I kind of feel all of my weight, kind of on like the inside ball my foot.
But I'm also letting my foot kind of externally rotate.
So I feel a lot of weight also on like the the outside heel, and then also the ball.
And I think that's where you want to end up being somewhat around.
Now there are guys that can get all the way up front of this front leg, and then from
there, almost push themselves up in the air, like Aaron Rodgers is really known for doing
this, where he's going to get all of his weight here.
And then he's going to push himself up and kind of over and through.
Now, that is again, I guess a way to do it.
But that's really you have to be able to get that foot down really effectively there and
then be able to transfer all your weight really quickly, as well.
So there's other parts of the throat that need to come into play in order for you to
be able to maximize that because now he's not pushing his weight back here, he's pushing
his weight up and through.
So he's still getting into, you know, essentially the toe is the only part on the ground the
heels up, but he's not pushing himself back.
Okay, that's going to be the big thing that that again, you want to stay away from as
you're going through the throat.
Now, another big thing you don't want to do is you don't want to end up coming so far
off to the side, that you end up almost falling off.
So you do want as you're finishing, you're gonna have some sort of balance, because you
get if you end up trying to, to, I guess move your weight or, or, you know, fall off too
much to one side.
Now you're going to end up leaning over here, right?
So so it all depends on, you know how that rotation happens in the head, I guess that's
the best way to connect with it to be, you know, simple is that when you're when you're
coming forward, and you end up coming too far forward and leaning off to the side, you're
not properly engaging your foot and allowing that range of motion happen in the ankle,
now you're going to end up going kind of through and, and falling off, which is also hard because
of the balanced part that that comes from that it's hard to maintain accuracy.
Like let's say I'm throwing somebody coming across to the right, and I'm coming I'm throwing
through it, I'm falling off to the right here, it's gonna be hard to be consistently accurate
on somebody coming going across when that's the case, or even the same thing as I'm throwing
even out, it's gonna be hard, excuse me, it's gonna be hard to be able to throw that really
consistently when my body's falling out to the side.
So it's always about balance, especially as a quarterback, but you know, as a quarterback,
and even as a pitcher, it's always about how you're able to get on that front leg and maintain
a good position onto that front leg.
And so understanding kind of the three big parts of of where you can end up having dysfunction
and problems within your throne and also how to really maximize the throat, I think a really,
really important part of becoming the best quarterback that you can be.
Now we want to make sure you know when one thing I want to finish off here is you want
to make sure you're you're ending at around the same spot, no matter what the throw is.
So you know what ends up happening I'll see a lot is that you know, you're good here,
you're great, you're good throwing, you know, 1520 yards, and keeping something that's that's
fairly underneath in terms of how you shift off your back leg
on your front leg.
But now all of a sudden it becomes a deeper throw.
And you have to go and you have to really stride out.
Now you're not able to get all the way
up onto that front leg and then you'll start to walk out farther, you'll start to change
up how your front leg is, is interacting with the ground.
I'll just make sure that you're you're not doing that
