Good Things Take Time 24th April 2014

Session 4

The follow through, the last phase of how to successfully throw a football. This final piece of the puzzle is what links it all together and can make or break a successful pass.

The follow through, this occurs during/after the ball is being released from the QBs hand. I tried to have my left ankle in planterflexion also the left knee has to be in a minor extension, the same goes for the right ankle. Although the right knee should be in close to full extension. Lastly I tried to make sure my right hip and shoulder are still going through external rotation. (DeGolyer, Getz, 2010)

10 throws from standing warm up 

10 walk through of  wind-up, later cocking, acceleration phase (no ball)

10 walk through of follow though phase (no ball)

10 throws implementing new movements (accuracy at target) 70%

5 throws for power 90%

5 throws for accuracy 90%

Below are two views of the throws that implemented all four aspects of the movement
