[@samaiech7587]

I have a DREAM! A dream in which legit American football players and coaches create high-quality-content videos covering every technical and strategic aspect of the game from the fundamentals to the advanced level. The end game would be to teach athletes who are football newbies to learn proper drills, accurately train, and ultimately become advanced or simply "game-ready."

[@Umarmohsen]

That is an awesome dream to have! I believe spreading knowledge is one of the most important things

[@edwardramos9235]

I have a ten year old son that has a naturally good throwing arm cause he can clock his sisters in the head with accuracy from a good distance and he wants to be a quarterback! All kidding aside I’d like to put his talent into learning how to throw a football properly so when he goes out for the team soon he’ll get the job. Your video helped a lot but what else can he do on his own when he doesn’t have the space or someone to play with. Thanks for all your help!

Hey man, I’d like to know if quarterbacks need a lot of endurance since I’m moving to the USA in about 2 months and am thinking about joining the football team. I don’t know which position though, what should I train if I want to become a quarterback?

[@Umarmohsen]

I believe that you should just join and your coach will best determine that as it has a lot to do with your build (height, weight, arm length, etc.) best of luck :)

[@laxly442]

@@Umarmohsen thanks for the answer! I’m 14 and maybe a little over 6‘ Im not too bulky though

[@fifamobilecontent13]

This helped a lot but what do you mean by getting more rotation on the ball

[@Umarmohsen]

Master the flick of your wrist, which will ultimately lead to a better ball rotation, hence better precision & quicker ball

Thank you so much I’m going to dominate my league

[@binorjohnson4645]

I'm going to be a junior next fall coming off my first year. With practice do you think it's possible that I can become good throwing the ball before training camp to win the job?

[@Umarmohsen]

I believe anything is possible if you keep your chin down and put in the work. Invest in a coach. Go to a gym. Watch film and never give up!

[@jasonhouck4551]

I put my thumb on the top right white stripe to the laces and rest the other fingers, is that still a good grip? I get a good spiral but im mad inconsistent

I honestly have no idea. Let me contact Jacob and get back to you ASAP!

[@jasonhouck4551]

@@Umarmohsen Not only that but i have a HUGE issue is after practice and ive been throwing for about 1 hour - 1 and a half hours the inside of my elbow feels bruised, and doing workouts like curls are impossible

[@Umarmohsen]

Jason Houck go to a doctor bro and rest a bit... when you heal start back slowly and make sure you have a good training program off the field to strengthen your forearms elbows, etc

[@OllietheBear]

Any ideas on how to get kids with small hands to get a better grip on the ball?

[@Umarmohsen]

Use a smaller sized ball and as they get used to it upgrade to a bigger sized ball! And focus on grip strength in the gym (exercises like farmer carries, plate pinches, etc) :)

[@22skatt88]

Sometimes when I throw it really hard it feels like my arm is being pulled a little. Is that normal of u try to throw it hard?

[@Umarmohsen]

If your arm hurts then it’s probably your rotator cuff being over stressed so I recommend checking with your Dr./Physician to avoid any drastic issues and good luck man

[@joshxmuhozi]

I'm 13 and having trouble with throwing the ball farther with that spiral

[@Umarmohsen]

SupremeJunk Hey dude, thanks for your comment 😊. If you struggle throwing far then I believe you need to get stronger through resistance training (bodyweight training or lifting, plyometric exercises for explosive power, etc.) then apply!that strength. I hope this helps

How do I make sure that my index finger is the last finger that leaves the ball? (sorry, am Dutch and football is very uncommon, so no one to teach me than sacred KZbin) thanks In advance!
