Quarterback Mechanics: How to Throw with your Hips in Football

[@kjgardnerjr6614]

This made my throws come out with so much more power with less effort. Great stuff.

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

Love to hear that!

[@michaellovell4068]

The way I used to think about it was almost like swinging a bat in baseball. That seemed to help me really sink my hips and push off that back foot

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

Great way to look at it.

[@jeremiah3532]

Yes, thanks Morey

[@MistaTraw]

This is amazing advice no one on KZbin this detailed and well versed in biomechanics of throwing a football. When you step with your front foot, is it essentially the back leg initiating the initial step forward of the front foot if that makes any sense

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

It does make sense. The momentum does come from the back leg but you want to be aware of how the front foot and leg are moving so you land in a stable position..

Have a good day god love you

[@joshevans782]

Can you give us some drills to accomplish this please? Thanks

[@ViN-kr3ri]

Very useful. Tom Brady demonstrates this very well in one of your other videos.

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lukewile]

Thanks for the video. As you push from the back leg, what powers the hip rotation? it seems like it starts turning before the front foot has hit the ground which only leaves the back leg on the ground. 1:55 "push and rotate together"

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

Luke Wile it’s the back leg that initiates it and the front leg that continues the rotation through the throw

@@Performancelabofcalifornia thanks 🙏

[@willroberts7518]

I'm working on getting a lot of hip shoulder dissociation, do my hips need to be all the way rotated before my shoulder starts rotating?

[@naveenwhat]

No, it comes in a chain. Think of making a wave in a jump rope, the movement begins where you apply force and transitions through the end. Try carrying momentum through your hip to upper body by using your block arm to swing your upper body without exaggerating it

[@scj1668]

I really need to sit down and watch this video Maybe record a video myself and send it Cuz I’m throwing like I don’t have a shorter

[@scj1668]

Shoulder*

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

We have a bunch of great videos to help you out with that

[@Sam_beydoun]

I kinda just pivot off my leg leg rather then push does that also work?

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

Better to get a push unless you are 6'4" or taller.

My man... In the voice of Denzel Washington ✌️😉👍 Dude, you would of changed Tim Tebow's life😁

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

Lol I wish I had the opportunity..

[@Ubermentsh]

@@Performancelabofcalifornia unfortunately at this point, he probably wishes that too 😏

[@Performancelabofcalifornia]

@@Ubermentshhe probably hasn’t seen any of my videos lol

[@Ubermentsh]

@@Performancelabofcalifornia yeah, that's the problem 😂
