hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be going over
the three most important parts of throwing the football or start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance side reach your individual goals you don't want
to 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 i'm going to really try to slow it down here and give you the best content that i
possibly can in terms of being able to give you a great understanding of you know the three things
that are going to end up making it so you can actually be a sustainable quarterback right a good
quarterback somebody has good mechanics or you know is able to consistently throw the ball over
40 you know 50 yards depending on your age okay and so the three main things or the three main
parts we have to be able to understand is going to be the load right that first kind of beginning so
we want to be able to give you some some things to be able to help you with that so i'm going to
go over drills i'm going to go over what's going to be the correct things to do there then we're
going to also go through the weight shift right so the ability to shift our weight from the back foot
onto the front foot okay and then it's going to be the wrist flick and being able to have a good
quality finish there okay so the first thing we'll start off with we'll just go from the beginning to
end even though i think at the end of the day the most important thing is the wrist flick
and but we're going to wait for that until the end and i would highly recommend you stay till
the end because that part is going to be you know really what's going to make it or break it here
you could have a good load you could have a good weight shift if you don't have a weight a good
wrist flick the ability to really be able to throw the ball at a high level is just
you don't really have a chance right you know the best play people in the world are able to get to
the right wrist position so you have to be able to understand how to get there and your load and your
weight shift should all help you in being able to get yourself to the right position all right so
with the load you know there's a lot of different ways of how people can can go through it right and
so what i do with my load and how i think about it is you know really i want to be able to allow
my my shoulder to like separate right so i want it to be able to get as far back and i also want
to have as much kind of looseness or smoothness in my wrist as possible i don't want to be going
you know anywhere like this i really want to just be going like that or you know for some people
they're just going to kind of lock in right and they're just going to keep that that wrist more
to neutral position you know that's fine you could have the ability to throw like that or
you can go here but you know the point of the load here is to be able to allow yourself to have some
looseness in the elbow have some looseness in the wrist you know allow that that shoulder to
be able to um get some degree of separation from the body right and so this ends up just being to
me the best drill is just being able to you know have a good understanding of where i want to go
from that that first position and then from there be able to like feel what that transition is going
to be like you know and where do i want to be do i want to be you know if i'm trying to get better
at throwing off to the side you know all that's the new thing right now on instagram is oh yeah
we got to be you know doing all these different side angle things it's really not that special
right it just you know makes it all look good right you're trying to make it so you you do
all these you know crazy things i don't know if college coaches like it or or not you know i to
me it's irrelevant right like i feel like that's probably how it is for um you know elite coaches
well it looks good but it's probably irrelevant it doesn't really matter you know if you uh are
you know able to do like the all these different crazy throws right the end of the day it's like
can you what's your your velocity like and what's your distance like so you know if you don't have
those then it doesn't really matter okay so the point of the load right is we're getting back here
and then we want to be able to understand how to and where we want to go with the wrist right and
so you know there's some people that are a little bit from here more trying to come up and over the
top right so it almost ends up being like that position with the nose of the football and then
they they kind of come down from here you know i i end up going a little bit more like a round
here i'm trying to get a lot of external rotation in my shoulder and then i try to get you know a
little bit more around the point is we want to be able to understand how to be able to load and get
ourselves into you know the position where we can get the wrists in a neutral position okay because
i see too many guys that end up here right so we want to be able to work on how can i get to
my wrist here okay and just being able to work on just that right just getting your wrists in the
right place right loading and getting your right wrist to the right place and being able to feel
what that feels like okay that's going to be the drill it's not over complicated okay we're just
going to drill getting our wrist our load correct and getting our wrists in the right position
okay and again there's you know you want to feel looseness you want to feel separation you want to
be able to feel like you're getting your the ball in the position where you're going to have success
with the the wrist flick and being able to get all of your uh weight to be able to shift through
okay and then we'll go in and transition into the weight shift okay so with the weight shift
what ends up being important is you know there wants to be a point we've talked about this
recently where it's like all of our weight is in that back leg right so here you know
whatever you're doing you're in the pocket you know you're having to move side to side you know
whatever the case may be you're hitching you're a three-step drop there wants to be a point where
you have all of your weight in that back leg right and then from that the initial action of when we
have all of our weight right so our weights moving this way in order for all of our weight to be you
know moving on our back leg we want it to be this movement we don't want it to be too much of this
movement you know if we're throwing the ball deep we could have this and this right but especially
if we're trying to build a ball like 20 25 yards or warming up whatever we don't want to have too
much of this right we want to have weight shift right so that wants to be more of how we're going
to be able to shift our weight onto our back leg and that ends up just being an important
thing like how do we shift our weight you know you can go here and you can go here and you go here
right and then also you know a good one is also getting those hips through here okay so like just
understanding how to move your hips how to make it so you can get full action through there so
then you at least know what it feels like right i think that the in the day like there's too much
separation between what it is that you're doing and what it is that you think you're doing okay
so in order to understand what it actually feels like you got to be able to actually do it you got
to understand how what it's going to feel like you know before you actually go through the throw
right so practice some of this stuff right if you're if you're just sitting down right now stand
up start practicing start doing something you know get a little active here okay so when you know on
your back leg right we'll shift your weight over back leg and then from here we want to rotate
first action is internal rotation of that back hip okay and so as i'm going here and i'm rotating
that's what i'm also going to be trying to take my step through right so i'm here and i'm loading and
i'm stepping and rotating okay loading stepping rotating okay and i'd you could take a step a
little bit off to the side you know you could open up the foot there's a ton of different ways to
take you know some people i think get too caught up in like these small little details okay at the
end of the day you know we've got to be able to get to the weight shifts really if you don't have
the wrist flick it doesn't matter right this does not matter if you don't have the wrist flick okay
how you load the football does not matter if you don't have the right wristband how are you
even holding the football here you know people are always saying oh yeah you need to hold the
football in the right place or you know your foot whatever it doesn't matter if you don't have the
right wrist flick it doesn't matter all right so we're loading here we're getting to the back leg
right and and the wrist book ends up really just being the consistency right like if you don't have
the consistency of uh uh planned mechanics and the chances of you actually having a good wrist slick
is practically zero okay so you have to be able to understand how you're gonna go through the motion
to make it so then you could have your wrist in the right position and be able to do that as
you know consistently as you possibly can okay so you're here you're loading into that back leg
right as i'm loading back now i'm getting my my weight to shift as i'm shifting i'm really
rotating so i want to get that heel up as fast as i can okay and with that i want to be able to stay
retracted with my upper body the best that i can right and what i mean by by retracted is keeping
that front shoulder back and closed and almost keeping my weight back so the best that i can
i want to almost have like 60 of my weight on my back leg here and 40 on my front leg the biggest
mistake that i see is people are going here right there's too much of emphasis on going like this
okay that's the biggest mistake the number one mistake 95 percent of guys do that
right there's even some guys that are probably in the nfl that do that they're just really big guys
right but you see guys you know the guys with the strongest arms guys like josh or yeah josh
allen patrick mahomes you know aaron rodgers they're here they're stepping and they're
rotating right they have so much hip rotation right i mean um aaron rodgers barely even puts
any weight onto his front foot right he like stays back the whole time i don't understand how he like
doesn't have to shift any of his weight forward he just like stays back and he just like
hits you know just ties like a hip swivel and then has a crazy wrist flick okay but the point is is
that he's staying so far back into his hips right and then he he just has to go and just snap it
and then he's able to you know sync that up with the wrist okay but if you're going here
and stepping and initially get now you're done now we're over extending you know now you're
way out in front now your your wrist is going to be way off okay so we want to make sure now
we're stepping we're rotating we're keeping our wrist or our waist back then we're going
to get to this position where we're flicking the wrist okay now we're going to get into that so
with the wrist flick we're coming here right we're coming and we're rotating around
or you're kind of getting up over the top we're getting to this neutral position okay and when
we're getting to this neutral position the actions that we want to happen and what you
want to practice is going to be you know going here and you know if you end up with the ball
a little bit too much out to the side you got to practice on being able to get all the way across
right if you have the ball most people end up having the ball too much like this because
the wrist is like this so the footballs like that right that just means we need to get more
this action right but really we should be practicing on loading and getting to this
position right and then from here it ends up being a downward action of the wrist right
it's a downward movement here okay you don't want to get too caught up in doing this this sideways
right and and the load the reason i go into the load is because that ends up happening with the
load so if you end up here now you're going to want to go and go too much here okay and that
could look pretty from 15 yards but that doesn't look pretty from 55 or 65 just doesn't work okay
show me guys that's only 55 like this you know if there is he's probably six five yeah so we want to
get here we want to get to a position where we're really you know pretty much on top you can be a
little bit outside right but the further down you go here the more that wrist is going to be able
to be you know a little out of control so we want to be able to get ourselves to this position and
then from here it's downward okay it's a downward action and flick here okay and that's really what
with the wrist flick what you want to work on is just getting here right we can go through that
whole thing and then you can just flick the wrist and come down right and just work on being able to
get to this position and then come downward and flick the wrist and then be able to just feel
great doing that just getting here and then downward flicking the wrists and then then
you could practice on being able to get into that position every time
right so then you can go here downward flick of the race right and just getting that action
of that wrist right here boom boom here you know here boom
boom okay so you could feel it okay and then we can adjust the angle so we're here
and it's in that same spot we want to be able to get that boom you know you have to be able to get
back to neutral right so we're going to end up having to get back to neutral getting it
all the way around so it's back to neutral okay we can't be lactodasical in that wrist action
it has to be all the way through here and as fast as you can and then as soon as you get
there now you got to start pulling it down and rotating through okay and that ends up being
you know the main part of the wrist is you have to be able to get the wrist all the all the way
around and then being able to push downwards on the pinky and then finish through with the throw
okay and that's you know why the breakdowns are important right that's where you know to me you
can't beat the value of what i'm gonna be able to provide with the breakdowns with the information
you know really being able to slow it down and make it so you could really see it and really
understand it you know that's why i'm constantly pushing the throw 60 you know program and the
you know hopping on the zoom and being able to um you know give you the opportunity to improve your
throwing velocity and your thought and i know we're getting closer to the season and i'm sure
you guys are are thinking oh yeah i'll be able to get a little bit more distance a little bit more
you know velocity a little bit more uh whatever you know throwing power and you know if you're
not getting over 55 you know if you're not getting to that 60 yard range then you have a problem you
know you're in a bad situation you're not going to you know with even with this program and what the
the focus on throwing 60 is doing is making it so guys that are going to get to the next level are
going to be guys that could at least throw the ball 60 yards you know that's going to be the
standards like you have to be able to throw the ball 60 yards to be able to play you know at even
you know division two division three you know it's not even at division one they're already throwing
the ball 60 yards so if you throw the ball 50 yards right now and you think that you're gonna
be able to beat them with timing or something like that you're six foot and you think you're
going to be able to do something or that people are going to be impressed with your velocity um
because you're six one or six two and throw the ball 45 yards you know it's just not going to be
the situation right and and so eventually you're going to have to look yourself in the mirror and
decide like you know do i want to be do i really want to pursue you know something that's going
to allow me to get to the position that i'm i'm trying to get to right to allow me to be able to
uh really accomplish the goals that i want to get to right and and then you know there has
to be an investment there has to be some type of commitment there has to be something that's
going to make it so you're going to be you know put in that position to actually improve
and so you know if you're watching this still i i really hope that that you've either already done
a breakdown already joined a program already done something with me here or you know after this sign
up or you know decide to get get going i mean it is me right it's it's me that is going and working
with you guys and you know this isn't a crazy expensive program right like i probably should
make it 2 500 based off of what the value is right i should probably make it more i should probably
make it like 10 grand to be honest with you uh just because you know it's going to help you get
a scholarship so i mean how valuable scholarship i should probably go and and look more into that so
um yeah i mean you know for right now it's not really about that to me it's really more about
how many quarterbacks going to help you know the the financial side is going to be able to
take care of itself as i can continue to help more guys so you know i'm not as concerned with
that i want to make it so it's a price point that that gets a little bit uncomfortable
for people so then there's a level of commitment to it but at the same time you know i want to make
it so a lot of people can join i want to make it so people can actually have access to it so it's
it's stuck in between both there and you know at the end of the day i don't think that this
is something that is you know even close to the value of what you're going to actually be getting
but that's exactly the way that i want it you know i want you to be walking away from this like damn
i got so much value out of that money you know so that ends up being the the name of the game
with what i do here at the performance lab that's all my programs that's all the things that i do
and so you know the throw 60 i think is something as a quarterback you got to join
you know you've got to be a part of it there's just a lot of things that we do to be able to help
you guys out here so um yeah as always guys thanks for watching thumbs up subscribe if you have any
questions comments or recommendations leave those down below and you know talk to you soon
