Key Takeaways and Drills
-
Dynamic Warm-up: Start with sprints, high knees, butt kicks, arm circles, and karaoke to get your body warm and blood flowing.

YWL Rotator Cuff Exercises: Perform these slowly and controlled to feel it in your rotator cuff. Include W’s, side stretches, and empty can exercises for rotation.
-
Medicine Ball Throws: Incorporate medicine ball throws against a wall or in an open field. Try turning throws, pushing throws, and overhead throws stepping into the throw. 10-20 reps of each.
-
Throwing Progression: Start on a knee, focusing on wrist action, then gradually incorporate more of your arm while standing. Progress to turn throws and step-behind throws, increasing distance gradually up to 120 feet.
-
Turn and Burn: Backpedal, then plant your foot, turn, and throw with maximum effort. This exaggerates shoulder turn for increased velocity.
-
Run and Gun: Run directly at your partner, take a crow hop, and make a strong throw.
This workout, if taken seriously, will help you see some serious velocity increases. Make sure to dedicate time to this and you will see improvement. Remember, it’s all about the consistency.
