Coach JP Says:
There are more errors committed by bad throws than any other area of the game!
Throwing and catching is so basic that most coaches and players seldom spend time on proper throwing and catching skills.
This strong instructional DVD starts with the basics and shows you proper grip, hand and finger position, then on to proper arm action, release point and the related parts of the upper body mechanics of the successful player. A few short minutes into the DVD and Coach Johnigan has you involved in some great drills that emphasize these skills. All are correct, simple to teach and to execute!
The value of good footwork and lower body mechanics is next and puts the entire motion together. this is where stronger, straighter throws and confident catches happen.
In short, this is good stuff for youth players & their coaches . of any age or skill level!
