How can I throw a football further?
Throwing a football further requires a combination of proper technique, strength, and speed. Here are some tips to help you improve your distance:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Turn your hips back slightly and tilt your upper body away from your target.
Hold the ball with your non-throwing hand under the center of the ball and your fingers spread apart. Your throwing hand should be placed over the laces on the opposite of the ball.
Start your throwing motion by pushing off with your non-throwing foot. As you swing your arm forward, keep your elbow high and your wrist forward.
As you release the ball, snap your wrist and follow through with your hand. Your arm should be extended fully.
Practice regularly to improve your technique and build strength. Use a variety of drills, such as long tosses, short passes, and one-step throws.
