Quarterback technique — mechanics fundamentals
Grip, base, hip rotation, follow-through, off-platform throws, and pocket movement technique for quarterbacks across age groups.
Throwing technique compounds. The quarterback who has clean mechanics at 12U will be a better quarterback at 16U because the foundation is sound. The quarterback who has bad mechanics at 12U will spend years undoing them, and many never do.
How to use this library
Grip and base first — they are the physical foundation. Then hip rotation, then follow-through. Off-platform throws and pocket-movement technique come later, after the platform throws are reliable.
Each guide breaks down the specific mechanical detail with side-by-side film of the right and wrong way to execute it. Mechanical work should be done in moderate volume with high attention — 50 high-intent throws a session beats 200 unfocused ones. Mechanical changes happen in the offseason; in-season mechanics work creates inconsistency that costs games.
