This Powerpoint: For Upcoming Camps Near You Go To

This document provides an overview of a system for coaching quarterbacks to self-correct their throwing mechanics. It begins with establishing a common language and turn-key system centered around compelling reasons for self-correction. The system focuses on building an "arm weapon" with the proper grip, wrist, and elbow alignment to achieve nose up, spiraling balls with an 18-inch hallway. Drills are presented to isolate and improve wrist extension, elbow acceleration, and footwork to build power and timing. Videos further demonstrate the 8 key positions to evaluate and how quarterbacks can self-correct through sequential drills and footwork.

Advantages OF WRIST “COCK”


INCREASES ROTATION, POWER, & ACCURACY
Reduces Wrist Movement Aligns Wrist for Pronation
Nearly Doubles Wrist Snap Increases Grip Strength
Builds Finger Roll Torque Reduces Thumb-down pressure
Keeps Nose up at Release Start where you Finish
Release Timing Feedback Puts Nose Away in Transition
Allows Release Extension Encourages Finger Side Release
