hey what's up everyone! Mprey Croson here and today we're gonna be going over if i had two
weeks to improve my throwing power what i would do and we're gonna start the video right now
all right so many of you guys i know are trying to improve your throwing power as fast as you
possibly can now that we're in the season you really want to make sure that you can
make some improvements here and so i just want to go over some things that i think would be
really beneficial to make sure that you're able to continue to improve your throwing
power and your throwing velocity by going over a couple tips that i think could be really really
beneficial for you to utilize so the first thing that i would say is every single day when you're
warming up right you should be going through some degree of long talk so first you're starting off
and you know typically what i do when i'm going through and i'm warming up first i really focus on
the wrist flick right i'm here i'll just flick the wrist and do that a few times then i'll go through
and just make sure i have my timing and sequencing right the ability to control your timing when it
comes to really anything that is power producing jumping throwing sprinting is critical to be able
to make it so you're able to have success there so make sure you're just working on the timing of
the wrist and the flow of the wrist and then as you're getting more warmed up obviously
the person that you're playing catch with is going to get further and further away
and you know once you throw a few times at about 15-20 yards you should start to back up right and
every time i go and i warm up with somebody we always work on long toss so you should get to
a point where you're throwing at least 80 to 100 every day right every single time that you throw
and make sure you're doing it to the left and to the right and really focusing on trying to make
sure you're getting the nose of the football two you know face down as you're going through which
is big on the wrist and making sure that you're throwing with the c so that's the first thing that
i would say is make sure you're doing long toss at least five to six days per week to help build up
your arms all right and then the second thing is going to be work on actually strengthening
your arms so you should be doing push-ups diamond push-ups uh pike push-ups you should be holding
the bottom of a push-up right those are just all non-weighted things right these are all really
easy we should be working external rotation right so just going and and building up that external
rotation the ability to get my my arm back if you can hold some weight do that make sure that
you you're maintaining that internal rotation as well so you're touching the back of your hands
uh making sure that you just have good overall shoulder range of motion all the way forward
all the way back make sure you can control that get plenty of range of motion within the wrist
within the elbows right we do these ones we do these ones we have a lot of different videos that
go into how you can make sure that you have the necessary strength and range of motion within your
shoulder within the upper body to make sure that you're going to continue to build strength and be
able to keep a healthy range of motion within your throwing shoulder i'm going to quickly interrupt
this video just to see if you like the information go ahead and click that thumbs up subscribe the
channel and we'll hop right back in the video all right so the next thing is going to be really
working the mechanics so one of the big things that i always talk about when i'm trying to help
somebody throw the ball further is really creating that external rotation right so as you're coming
through you should really feel your hand stay back behind your elbow as you're coming through here uh
during the throw and so when you're going in and you're trying to create a you know longer throw
or throwing the longer toss just make sure you're not getting the ball here right we want to keep
that ball wide as we're coming through and keep that wrist neutral as you're coming through okay
those are two critical things that you really want to make sure that you're adding into your throw
that will help you in increasing throwing power and distance really right away especially if that
ends up being a big issue for you the other big thing is when you're stepping here we want to step
and create this rotation with the lower body and keep your chest back so you should have
like an angle like this as we're stepping through right so when you're warming up work on being able
to get to this angle as you're going through the throne really be aware of this and again
this is just stuff that you can do at practice right i should really be charging you guys for
this information because of how valuable it can be if you implement it but i've realized that really
it's not about the information as much as it is the accountability of actually being able
to go through and make the changes and make the improvement so a lot of you guys are going to
probably watch this you might do this for a few days maybe a week two weeks at the most most of
you guys won't stay consistent with it which is why i highly recommend you guys joining our
quarterback program because during the season right now is really your best opportunity to
improve in your mechanics because there's so many different things that you could look at right now
when it comes to you know three step drop throwing on time working on your rhythm making sure that
you're able to throw great to the right throw great to your left and prove your deep ball and we
can really focus on what are the main issues a lot of times you could hide some of the issues that
you have as a quarterback when you're just you know throwing you know sending your videos to me
or you know doing stuff at a seven on seven competition or any type of camp or things like
that you can really hide some stuff but then when it comes to playing in a game or practicing with
pads on and it really exposes a lot more of the things that you need to work on so there's a lot
of information that we could utilize by joining that on in season program that could help you
improve as a quarterback so i highly recommend you guys checking out that institution program i'm
making 100 off because i really believe that it'll help you a lot of you guys out and again it's the
accountability side if we're always interacting you'll give you that motivation to make sure that
you're always working on improving within your mechanics right so when we're talking every you
know a few days or even you know maybe at the most every week then it's it's still enough of a period
of time where you're constantly working on new things and i think that's what really is the name
of the game here is constantly being stimulated to be able to understand okay this is what i'm
working on this week this is what i'm working on this weekend so over the course of 12 weeks of the
season you're going to get so much better that you won't even recognize who you were you know
12 and that's what you want to be able to do here in these next 12 weeks be a completely different
quarterback because you worked on the small things that could really make a big difference
within your throw throat alright so as always guys thanks for watching the video if you like
