Show me oh wise one!" Hello, my name is, and this is, and we are going to demonstrate some steps on how to properly prepare and throw a football. Throwing a football can be one of the hardest balls to throw. The player that specializes this throw would be the quarterback. The quarterback is not just some guy that throws a weird shaped ball all over the field.

He must know his stuff! Quarterbacks are team leaders who always... skilfully moves the team up the field. confidently controls the exchange from centre. cleanly offers the ball to the Running Backs. demonstrates consistent throwing mechanics. sets up to throw with their feet directly under their hips. throws to a spot on the field, not to a receiver. readily recognizes Man-To-Man from Zone Defences 1.) VISUALIZING THE SKILLS Visualization uses the senses to see, feel, hear and smell a physical action ahead of time to produce the action in reality. The player mentally rehearses the action before performing the action. By visualizing ahead of time, the player's learning cycle is greatly accelerated. 2.) The Technique "Before you do (the action), use your mind to image what (the action) would feel like". Good coaches ask their players to see actions and skills ahead of time.

Any visualization can be performed with the eyes opened or with the eyes closed. "In your mind, imagine yourself doing (the specific action) from across the field". To make the visualization more interesting and more fun, ask the player to imagine themselves doing the action from different angles and from different distances. 3.) THE STANCE The goal in the Quarterback "Stance" is comfort. Head - the head is straight up... Eyes - focused straight ahead...

Shoulders - slightly in front of the hips... Arms - extended forward under the center's backside... Hand - placed on top of each other with the palms in, throwing hand on top, fingers spread with the middle finger placed on the center's pant seam. Pressing the hands into the center's backside is the signal the Quarterback is comfortable and ready for the exchange...

Back - arched... Waist - slightly bent... Knees - comfortably flexed to the point that the ball can easily be exchanged with the center. In practice without a center, use a 45 degree bend... Feet - shoulder width apart, toes pointing straight ahead.

The whole point is that the QB does not have all that time in the world to position his hands on the ball, but his body stance helps to retrieve the ball quickly and to get ready to throw at his target. Gavin- "Hey Jessie throw me the ball!" Jessie- (throws Gavin the ball) Gavin- "That's it! Good job!" We hope that these tips help you in throwing a football maybe at the beach or with the guys playing some "touch", either way we had fun doing this with you all. Thank you,.
