Short Summary
- The coach introduces a corrective drill called the towel drill.
- The drill is designed to help players improve their throwing technique.
- It specifically targets players who tend to short-arm or release the ball too far back.
- Players hold a towel with the end taped to simulate a ball and focus on extending their arms during the throw.
- The coach emphasizes the importance of hearing a “swoosh” sound from the towel when released correctly.
- This sound indicates proper extension and release point.
- Players should stand shoulder-width apart with their gloves up in front while practicing.
- The coach suggests partnering players, where one holds out their glove for the thrower to aim at.
- The goal is for the thrower to snap the towel against the glove, reinforcing good extension and technique.
- Overall, the drill aims to enhance players’ throwing mechanics.
