Anyone who has ever played football knows that throwing a long pass is not easy. The key to throwing a football 80 yards is to generate enough power and accuracy. First, the quarterback must generate a powerful throw by using the momentum of his entire body. This can be done by carefully timing the release of the ball with the stride of the throw. Second, the quarterback must be accurate in his throw. This means accounting for factors such as wind speed and direction, as well as the receiver’s position on the field. Finally, the quarterback must have a strong arm, capable of generating enough velocity to overcome any defenses that may be in place. With these three elements in place, any quarterback can throw a long pass with ease.
How to throw a football farther
This is a guest post from Ryan Johnson, a strength and conditioning coach who has worked with NFL quarterbacks. There are really only two ways to throw a football farther: increase the speed of your arm or increase the size of your arc. The problem is that most people can only generate so much force and so it becomes difficult to create a bigger arc without sacrificing accuracy.
The answer, then, is to focus on increasing the speed of your arm. This can be done through a variety of exercises that help to improve the muscles used in throwing a football. Plyometric exercises, for example, are great for helping to improve the explosiveness of your muscles. Medicine ball throws are also a good option, as they help to improve the endurance of your muscles.
Grip the ball with your fingers, not your palm
One of the most important aspects of throwing a football is your grip. If you grip the ball with your palm, you’ll notice that it doesn’t spin as much as it does when you grip it with your fingers. This is because your fingers provide more surface area for the ball to spin on. When you throw a football, you want the ball to spin as much as possible. This makes it easier for the receiver to catch and also makes it more difficult for the defense to intercept.
So, make sure that you grip the ball with your fingers and not your palm when you throw it. You’ll notice a big difference in how well the ball spins and how far it travels.
Point your toes down and tuck your chin to ensure good balance
When you throw a football, it’s important to have good balance. This will help you generate more power and accuracy in your throw. To ensure good balance, point your toes down and tuck your chin. This may seem like a small thing, but it makes a big difference in how well you can control your body when you throw the ball.
With these tips in mind, you should be able to throw a football farther than you ever thought possible. Just remember to focus on generating as much power and accuracy as you can. If you do that, the distance will take care of itself.
Use your whole body to generate power – thrust hips forward and snap wrists at the end of the throw
