Hey kids, today I want to show you how to properly throw a football. We need to start with a grip. This is an intermediate size football, so you want to grab it something like that. You need to get on the laces so that when you throw it and you release it, it creates a spiral. Then, you’re going to need to adjust your hand up and down here for the size of your hand and the size of the football. So, this is pretty good right here for me, and that’s how I’m going to throw it.

Okay, and so the way you do it is you want to have this arm go out and this arm go out. Okay, here, you’re here like that. You’ve seen people throw the ball like this, right? And then they don’t lead with this arm too. They have kind of a wimpy arm out here and they throw like that. So, you want to go like this and then throw it. So, you’re using your whole core to really get into it and you can throw it a long ways that way. But see how the ball’s kind of pointing backwards? Kind of interesting.

You’re not taking it back like this, you’re taking it back like that so that when it comes around, it releases properly. Another thing is you want to point your shoulder, your lead shoulder, at the target. So, if I’m throwing over there, I’m pointing my shoulder there and then I’m throwing. Okay, if I’m pointing it this way, so I’m kind of set up this way, right? I don’t open up and throw. I’ve got nothing left if I do that.
