Instructions
- 1Explosive overhead motion
- 2Maximum arm velocity
- 3Snap wrist on release
- 4Control the trajectory
Coaching Points
- Load the throwing arm fully behind the head before initiating the throw — a short backswing reduces velocity
- Snap the wrist sharply at the point of release to maximize ball speed and add backspin
- Step into the throw with the opposite foot to engage the full kinetic chain from foot to fingertip
- Control the follow-through fully; the arm should finish pointing at the target, not across the body
