High Level Throwing: The Water Bottle Drill

by Austin Wasserman

Description

In this baseball & softball High Level Throwing course, Austin Wasserman shares the techniques for his Water Bottle Drill.

The Water Bottle Drill is the #1 Throwing Drill that will enhance an athlete’s understanding of arm path with less resistance than an actual throw! Less resistance = less interference with your current throwing volume while enhancing the arm pattern!

An efficient arm path will reduce the risk of shoulder and elbow stress by allowing the body to supply the force in a throw, not the arm! It creates proper timing between the arm and the lower body! An efficient arm path will also increase the ability to generate velocity! Yes!

We want athletes to FEEL what it’s like to move THROUGH positions during a throw, instead of training static, robotic pauses within a throwing sequence. The Water Bottle Drill will do just that!
