Hey what's up everyone! Morey Croson here and today we're going to be going
over how to improve your release time and where to start the video right now
all right so I've been getting this a lot lately whether people ask me about how they can get the
ball or prevent the ball from going too far back behind the head how to get the ball out of their
hands faster and you know what are some drills to be able to just improve the release overall
so we're gonna go over that all here in the video today the first thing that I want to go into is
going to be really I think the number one cause of spending too much time with the the load in
general and a release time in general is the load and then the other big thing is you know how to be
able to fix your load and make sure that you're not getting the ball back behind the head so you
know first i want to go into what is the ball going back behind the head look like essentially
you know looking at this angle here it's any time we're here right so a lot of times what I'll see
is people they almost end up having two loads within their arm kind of motion right so there'll
be like an initial kind of action going here and then an action going back right and that
is just because there's not an ability to really understand what the purpose of the load is which
is to stretch the pec right so when you're first getting yourself set up for the throw I always
put the analogy of like it's like you're jumping right if you're going to go and jump up as high
as you can you got to load first you can't just go and jump right it's the same thing when you
throw you've got to have some type of action to load the football and when you do that though
you got to be loading the elbow you got to be loading the wrist you got to put your yourself in
a position where you feel lengthening within this pec muscle because if you don't feel the length
then you're going to end up having this kind of action which will make it so then you'll have to
create the length that is necessary to be able to actually throw the ball so you know it's not that
it's unnatural to go back like this it is natural but it's just something that you're incorrectly
doing during the load that's making so you have to go back behind your head okay so in order to fix
this you got to be aware of what you're doing with the shoulder when you're going back and the common
thing that happens is that people keep their like front of their shoulder kind of rounded forward
a little bit more right and it doesn't have to be a lot right it just has to be enough
to make it so you're not loading the pec when I'm loading here I'm really thinking about keeping my
my shoulder blade back so now as i bring the ball back I'm i'm keeping where I'm allowing my pec to
lengthen okay if I'm not going and allowing my pipe to lengthen well now when I go through the
throw I'm gonna have to do this okay and and that ends up being the main thing that I see
with quarterbacks is that they'll go back and they'll just spend way too much time
here right so if you go and you really break it down I've done these videos before you know I
think Justin Fields I did it a couple weeks ago I'll put a link up but the main thing that ends
up happening is that you know when you're going through you know like Justin Fields he's here
and coming right up over the top right so from this position he's going here which is going to
be drill number one get into your load position and then come through the throw okay so that's
going to be the first thing that you could do to improve your release time is start here drive your
elbow through I'm going to quickly interrupt this video just to say if you like the information go
and click that thumbs up subscribe down below and we'll hop right back into it and that right
there will be able to improve your release when you practice it over and over and over again
the main thing that you have to understand here is that if it's worth doing then it's worth doing
over and over right you can't just do this one time and say oh yeah you know what I feel better
there you know I don't need to do this anymore every single day when you go to practice you
got to be working on the drills to be able to help you release or you're just not going to be able to
see the improvement so that ends up being really the most important thing you have to do in order
to actually make the improvement is consistently do the drills best drill was that last one i just
showed you so from here what I'd say is another common thing is when people are going through
they'll allow the ball to get up onto their wrist or just not going to have great control of the
wrist overall so i want to be able to show you what the wrist should be going through so it's
here and you lo and some people don't like to get their pinkies as high when they're low that's not
what's important you do want to load your elbow though okay you got to get some separation with
the elbow from your body and you got to be able to get that peck to stay you know lengthened or
create length within the pec so you can't let the humerus fall forward you have to keep that
humorous back you have to get separation with the elbow what you do at the wrist isn't as important
it's a little bit more up to you during that initial load but then as you come forward what
you can't have happen is you can't get stuck in this action right your wrist can't be here
for very long or you know if at all okay so what happens is when you're going through
we want to get to this position and then we want to be immediately driving that pinky through okay
and so there's two drills that really go off of this one is getting to this position and then just
working on that wrist flick and coming down just so you can feel what that feels like so I just
get up to that position and kind of finish through the throw and the other thing is just working on
turning the wrist so I'm here and I'm getting to my load position and I just turn the wrist
and come through right and and as I'm doing that I do like to shift my weight and you do want to
make sure guys that you're in a good base overall right I think this is something that I've recently
discovered I did a Caleb Williams breakdown and saw that his base is just really wide and I think
that makes a big difference in being able to get your weight moving and get that foot down and just
make it so the overall throw happens a lot more quickly because what happens is that if you end up
being too narrow with your base then part of your release time ends up being your
step right you just take a long time to just get going because you take a long step in order to
you know start the whole process but you already have a good base then you can just go ahead and
you know step and go through so you know get in a good base position and then from here just work on
driving that pinky through okay and just not allowing that ball to get back behind the head
and i would say do that you know five or six times and then after you do that throw the football okay
and those ends up being really the three most important drills to me to improve your release
you got to understand the concepts though what you need to be doing with the shoulder what you
need to be doing with the elbow what you need to be doing with the wrist and how to shift your body
weight properly and when you could understand that properly and then be able to implement the drills
that i just laid out for you you should be able to improve your release time in a very short amount
of time so as always guys thanks for watching this video I hope this helps you out a ton if
it does go ahead and click that thumbs up down below subscribe to the channel down below and if
you have any questions comments or recommendations you could leave those in the comments down below
also check out some of the things that we have in the description we do have a free seven-day
trial we have a in season program we have throw breakdowns throw programs we have a lot of things
available for you guys to be able to improve your throwing mechanics I will say if you're looking
to make some fast changes within your release getting a throw breakdown I think would be the
best thing for you just so i could really isolate what are some of the key things you can work on
and the great thing about the throw breakdown is it's four weeks so you have four weeks of
being able to really improve your mechanics overall which I think makes a big difference
in your overall development so as always guys thanks for watching and we'll talk to you soon
