hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we'll be going over the lower body how we can more
effectively use it during the throw and really putting a big emphasis on the back leg and how to
better utilize the back leg in order to throw the ball further a little bit more efficiency a little
bit more distance overall so as always if you like the information go ahead and click that thumbs
up down below subscribe share if you haven't already any questions comments recommendations
anything like that go ahead and leave those in the comments below we're not in the video right now
all right so first thing that i want to go over is a common mistake that ends up happening when
it comes to utilizing the lower body and it has to do with the front leg so you know what what
ends up really impacting how well you can use the back leg is what you're doing on that front foot
a really common thing that i see is that guys will just kind of open up that front foot immediately
or just get more of their weight to transfer onto that front foot too early right and that either
has to do with like stepping down too hard not having good control of the front leg there's a
lot of reasons why that would happen but i just want you to first understand that that ends up
being a big problem and being able to utilize the lower body is if i'm stepping onto my front
foot and immediately having all of my weight here or just kind of opening up this front hip without
utilizing the back leg that's going to both those things are going to make it so it's really
basically impossible to utilize that back foot so in order to utilize the back foot what we have
to be able to think about is as we're going and loading you want to be able this is like the first
drill i would say that you want to work on is load and when you're loading keep most of your weight
onto that back foot right so and and it wants to be like 90 of the weight here so first i'm going
to just load here and get used to doing that right and just being able to feel myself get my whole
foot down right it's not like i'm just going like this or you know whatever i have my whole foot on
the ground but most of my weight is on my back leg and just being able to understand how to do that
is the first step of being able to improve your ability to utilize the back leg next thing is
going to be actually getting a rotation going as we're loading so now i'm going to go here
and i'm going to get my rotation going right and what i'm going to do and what you can see what
i'm doing is i'm i'm going to go to different parts so i'm going to go to the right right i'm
going to go middle i'm going to go left i just want to get really used to being able to step
and create that rotation off that back leg and really get that heel up as i'm going through it
okay and you know you could do this with a ball you could do that without a ball whatever the
case may be helps you out then we want to go into uh the straight jacket or just having your hands
kind of across and doing the same thing so now i'm stepping and i'm rotating stepping rotating again
just really working on being able to create that rotation off that back leg so now when i can go
and start throwing the ball that'll be something that's already pretty natural this is just a drill
that you want to be able to work on all the time you're just going stepping and rotating
stepping and rotating and the more that you can get that disassociation and really with
that upper body i really want to emphasize keeping that back because that will make it
so then i can create even more you know rotation through there and you can even go through and
create that rotation right get my hips to come through and then from there really focus on
getting as much of a backward rotation the upper body as you can just to create that stretch so
then when you actually throw you have plenty of range of motion because there's a lot of guys that
end up just suffering from not being able to use the hips just because you don't have the range of
motion to use the hip so you know you want to make sure you have plenty of rotation going both ways
with the hips right being able to have just a lot of freedom through there as well as being able to
push off and create that rotation there and again another good thing to do like i said is here
and then rotate back just to make sure that now you have plenty of rotation through that back
through that spine so now when you go through the throw you could do that with a it's a lot
more effortless a lot easier to be able to use the lower body and then get the timing there
correctly because the first thing that needs to do needs to happen is those hips need to be able to
open and generate force off the back leg we're not don't want to open up the hips because we're just
you know generating force off the front leg and allowing all of our weight to go we can shift
onto that front leg we ought to be able to rotate with that that back foot keeping that weight back
on that back foot that's the critical part here in order to really see the improvement within
the throw so as always guys thanks for watching here if you guys want to check out some of the
links below in order to get a breakdown you know join the program really be able to make a huge
difference within your mechanics highly highly recommend it we're going to really be able to
focus on your mechanics if you're actually in the program you're going to get some more isolated
training some individual training and also some of those video breakdowns which i think are really
really beneficial and being able to isolate what are some things that you need to do as well as
some drills and some exercises to be able to fix them so thanks for watching we'll talk to you soon
