 Everybody it's Eric Johnson. What is one of the biggest challenges young throes have trying to get into the throw generating speed? If you don't get this entry access right, it's gonna be problems. Here's a couple of drills to help you out. Check it out Everybody is Eric Johnson. We just wanted to say real quick We hope you're safe healthy keep up your training. Don't lose your motivation We get those whispers that there's gonna be something happening in the summer somewhere We know people there's too many people passionate about this that aren't gonna be doing something You're gonna wind up having that opportunity to throw so stay in shape. Keep training you guys stay safe. Take care Everybody it's Eric Johnson for Maritime Throes Nation and in today's video We are here at home and home training is gonna be one of the things that we're required to do and right now It's definitely pretty tough when we understand that we have a lot of issues with training facilities Getting to our weight rooms getting to our throwing areas seasons and canceled You know being canceled and different things like that. So what we want to do though It's it's very easy and it's understandable to be really bummed out. I know as a coach It's really disappointing for me. However, there are whispers of Competitions gonna be held and we are trying to work on stuff as well so that way when we get the green light We can organize some meats to give some of those athletes that didn't have an opportunity to come compete now That being said one of the super important things that you want to make sure that you're doing is not giving up You want to keep bettering yourself learning more and that's why we're trying to put out more content for you guys More often so that we can kind of keep that mojo moving so you guys can feel better And then hopefully come out of this and have some opportunities to hit some meats now that being said one of the things We're gonna cover today is one of the big challenges that throwers have and that is basically getting to this part of the throw That little simple rotation tends to be a pretty challenging thing for a lot of young throwers So what we're gonna do is we're gonna go through two drills We're gonna do we calls a 90 degree walk around and you're gonna notice the position of the entry leg And so I get here so I go I go 90 degrees 90 degrees 90 degrees and then 90 and of course I'm back to where I started now One of the things you're gonna notice is the position of my entry foot That's really really critical and the entry foot has to be pre-turned right sometimes throwers are turning They're doing this. This is one of your common mistakes that kills a thrower We're seeing this and turn and that is gonna be so much harder to do So one of the things we're gonna do with this drill is when we're taller and we use something like our drill band So that we can coordinate the upper body You're gonna see that I'm gonna move this and I'm gonna get my 90 and you're gonna notice how this is always ahead, right and so This is basically what we refer to as a 90 degree walk around super simple You're gonna notice the key is what we're gonna teach you is to stay on the inside of the foot Don't go to the outside Because one of the things we always talk about at our events is that if you stay on the inside Notice the turning of the axis if you stay neutral look at the turning of the axis and if I stay Outside of the foot look at the turning of the axis So watch me try to do the 90 degree drill on the outside of my foot Okay, can I do it? Yeah, I can but look at the difference of how that looks from this See how I'm much more. I have much more load and I'm much more dynamic So one of the simple things you want to do is try to practice that stand the inside of the foot and keep your Sweep leg wide and your knees apart and another thing that we'll do with our bands. Let's pop them up All right, okay, so you're gonna notice that when I put the band on I always have it on the lower body a little loose And you're gonna notice when I turn I'm creating a little bit of tension One of the mistakes is athletes tend to stand You want your knees open on top and I can still be tall and now when I turn that foot and I feel that 90 degree step I'm gonna see this so I purposely have the band loose. I have the upper body. I have shoulder hip arm shoulder separation We're gonna turn we're gonna get that 90 degree step 90 degree step This is a really simple way to start understanding your throw one of the things We're gonna teach our throwers is to go 90 degrees and then what we're gonna do is be able to step Step through the throw and you're gonna see the band comes off because when I transition from here to here My legs do come closer together, and they're not staying way apart. Okay, this is why We are recommending you guys start out with the 90 degree walk around because there's a lot of mechanical points that you want To get right and again inside our system. We talk a lot about that if you don't know we have a system check
