 Hits it, but he pulls here. So he turns his hip through. He blocks real well, but he's turning his hip. Everybody, it's Eric Johnson, with Brerate Throws Nation. And in today's video, we are gonna talk about one simple movement that is absolutely the biggest nightmare to coach and something you want to avoid. So what's the biggest nightmare that we tend to see? And you wanna understand the path of the entry side shoulder, which becomes the block shoulder. Now the biggest nightmare that a thrower can get into, in my opinion, perhaps is the top distance killing mistake. And it's pulling the shoulder around. So in the throw, one of the things that you're trying to do is understand your basic angle so that you can stay long and you can get this arm moving. And this arm has to move a very specific way to pull you into the throw so that you pull out into the delivery. So here's the thing that you wanna avoid at all costs as you develop as a thrower. It's pulling the shoulder. So at any time you turn the arm and the shoulder together, that's typically gonna wind up causing you to fall and then you're gonna come in here and then you're gonna pull. Now I've seen just recently we had an athlete, he has a really great block. Hits it, but he pulls here. So he turns his hip through, he blocks real well, but he's turning his hip and pulling his shoulder back. So one of the things that, again, we'll talk about in camps in our program is we wanna deliver a knockout punch. We want that shoulder nice and strong and right. You don't see knockout punches in professional MMA or boxers throwing punches like this. It's bam, they're gonna get that whole delivery side in. That's what's gonna deliver that knockout blow. So we wanna deliver the knockout blow in your throw. That means learn to not have the left shoulder pulling around and that's gonna start at all phases. So you're gonna see it here and sometimes people are saying throw the arm and that we agree with, but there's a right way and a wrong way to move the arm and if you move that shoulder with it, you're gonna be here and you're gonna be seeing this type of stuff and the block pulls around late and now you're pulling off the throw instead of pulling here and coming into the throw and that's the thing we wanna avoid. So this is a super simple tip but what you wanna do is look at your video and if you see your shoulder cutting in, so when you're in the back of the circle, if you see the shoulder cutting in or you see yourself doing a half the turn or 180 and your shoulder is cutting like this and you're pulling around and your block elbow, you can look in this camera and you see that block elbow over here, you're in trouble because when you look at the great throwers that you're gonna see that block elbow here, if you're looking at shot putters, you see it here, you do not see this type of motion from the best throwers in the world throwing the biggest distances and you wanna learn that at a young age because if you start developing rip around shoulder, I'll tell you this, as a private coach who sees people from all over the US, even from other countries, I see that as one of the, when I get a athlete who has that, I really let them know how much of a limitation is and how much distance that's costing them because it's costing them immediate distance and it's costing them development distance. Look at your film, if you see that shoulder pulling around, time to get rid of that, it's the top distance killer, it's a habit that's hard to break but be patient and really focus on it because it'll make all the difference in the world and if you wanna know how to break it in more depth, check out our throwing chain reaction program, links in the description.
