My throwing skills

Question
HI I am the quarterback for my 7th grade football team and I have this throwing competition coming up in a few days and I cant throw as far as a couple of kids on my team do you have any tips for me to throw further?   thanks

Answer
Andrew,

Arm strenght is not something that can be improved dramatically in a couple of days but you can concentrate on your footwork & positioning which may help. Always get your lead shoulder to the target and stay closed. Step with your front foot to the target and push off the back and rotate your hips. Throw over the top and follow through. If your ball travel is not as far as the other guys concentrate on accuracy.

Good luck.
