TY, and sorry for my eng)

Great drills as always! Thanks!

[@firstdowntraining]

Appreciate you sir, thank you very much for the support! As always 🤝

[@Heatseek100]

really good video coach ;) any advice for increasing grip strength?

[@firstdowntraining]

Appreciate you man, thank you for the support! The best exercises would be finger tip push ups & then farmers carry- which is essentially walking while you carry heavy dumbbells

[@Dc20007]

What’s up coach! I’m 16 years old about 160 lbs and 6’1 (6’2) - (6’3)ish in shoes. I’m fast/athletic and I play basketball. Thinking about trying out for my high school team, but I haven’t had any experience with pads or competitive football. What position would you recommend me to start with? Thanks.

[@Madlib47]

I think you could excel as WR/DB even as a starter.

[@firstdowntraining]

I would say outside WR is the best spot for you!

[@LemonBLTwithCheese]

Thanks coach. This really helped me.

[@firstdowntraining]

No problem at all man, glad this could give you some value!

helps me so much first time playing qb

[@firstdowntraining]

Awesome to hear man, thank you for watching!

[@Freddd15]

Hey, i love the videos btw I was wondering if you could make a video about how your wrist is suppose to flick to spiral the ball. I often end up flicking it wrong and the ball releases very crazily and inaccurate but if i hold my wrist to stiff and less of a flick it releases very weak and kind of spins to the side.

[@firstdowntraining]

Absolutely! Thank you for the feedback- will make a video this week

[@landedogherty1641]

Hey coach! Do you have any tips to get a higher release?

[@firstdowntraining]

Will be posting a video on that this week! Thank you for the feedback

[@Hamish.17]

I’ve been told to have my front foot pointing towards the target when I do that first stride, is this good advice or no? I’m from the uk so I don’t take the coaches advice as biblical cuz the sport isn’t as well known. Especially if you don’t mention it haha

[@firstdowntraining]

Doesn’t need to be pointed straight there. A lot of guys say that “oh it helps with hip rotation” not true. If anything it can cause a long stride and an over rotation because your front foot isn’t stable. Watch Brady or Rodgers stride. They always have their stride foot slightly to the right of the target and they get plenty of rotation. That’s what I recommend. It’s faster and more stable

[@Hamish.17]

@@firstdowntraining got it, that’s what i was worried about. Thank you for the feed back it means alot 🔥

[@LXD.0]

i start high school next year and i want to try out for football im 6"0 14 and 165 pounds i dont know what position i should play do you have any recommendations? edit: it would also be my first year actually playing.

[@firstdowntraining]

I would say you have pretty good size for an outside WR

[@SER915]

Bro I wish I could go to camp but I live like 10 hours from la 😢

[@firstdowntraining]

No worries man, I appreciate the support! Hope we can see you at a camp one day

[@SER915]

@@firstdowntraining yeah hopefully that’s one of my biggest wishes

[@louie-u9l]

Hey coach I wanted to know for receivers if your split release should be wide or not wide

[@firstdowntraining]

Hey man I answered this on a different post where you commented- hope it could help!

[@louie-u9l]

@@firstdowntraining ok thank you

[@originalrudeboi]

If I point my lead toe at my target won’t that create more torque in my hip drive?

[@firstdowntraining]

The toe point has nothing to really do with the amount of torque. Can it allow you to rotate, absolutely- and I’m not against the front toe pointing to the target. I’ve just seen that when guys do that- they step to the left(if they are right handed) and it causes this long stride. Not necessarily long but it takes a while to get down and it throws off their sequence timing- AKA the shoulders beat the hips in the motion. So you can open the toe but it needs to get down fast and then the front hip drive and back hip drive is what creates torque if it’s going before your shoulders in the sequence. Hope this could help, I’ll make a video on this too

[@originalrudeboi]

@@firstdowntraining this is actually happening. It causes him to step too far out occasionally. Thanks, bud 🤙🏽

[@JRJ15]

Coach, I have a pretty good throwing motion but my front foot turns to the left sometimes when I’m throwing is that a bad thing?

[@firstdowntraining]

It can be from a slight over rotation with your front shoulder. You’d get great benefit out of the first drill on this video: will help a ton keeping your front side stable

[@ouddahere8766]

Come to Charlotte NC

[@firstdowntraining]

We were there this past February! Will definitely be back, we love coming out to Charlotte

[@Salm860]

hello coach i want to ask you something so iam a 6foot3 13 year old , my coach want me to play defensive line but i want to play qb so how can i convince him please i really love qb postion

[@firstdowntraining]

I would say to him you feel that you can “best help the team win at QB” and then I would ask him “what you can do to earn an opportunity to give QB a try”. That’s all you can do, make him give you an answer on what it would take to at least get an opportunity. And then you have to execute
