Unlock energy transfer and eliminate premature rotation.

Welcome back to Day 2!

Shape 1: The Trapezoid is the starting point for every great throw. It ensures your lower body is engaged and storing energy, ready to transfer it seamlessly through your throw.

The Problem:
Without the trapezoid shape, many players experience:

• Premature Pelvic Rotation: Rotating too early prevents energy from being stored in the back leg.
• Parallelogram Shape: Collapsed knees and improper posture lead to wasted energy and inefficiency.
•  

The Solution:
Focus on creating the trapezoid shape by moving your body forward into alignment:

1. Activate the back part of your leg to store energy.
2. Ensure your knees stay stable and don’t collapse inward.

Why It Works:
 

• This shape sets up your lower body as the foundation of your throw, just like the handle of a whip driving its power.

Your Task Today:

• Watch the Shape 1 Video
