Your Complete Guide to Pre-Game Throwing

At ProSource Athletic Performance, we know that a solid pre-game routine is crucial for peak performance. In our latest video, The Complete Guide to Pre-Game Throwing, we cover everything you need to know to warm up effectively before hitting the diamond.

Key Takeaways:

• The Purpose of Pre-Game Throwing:
  The main goal of your pre-game routine is to loosen up and prepare your arm for the game ahead. It's about getting into the right mindset and feeling good to play without risking injury.

• Recommended Drills:
  We recommend starting your warm-up with simple, low-intensity drills, including:

  • Ten Toes Drill: Face your target and throw lightly.

  • Separation Throws: Gradually incorporate movement and separation.

  • Rockers and Step-Behinds: These drills help simulate game-like situations.

• Intensity and Progression:
  As you work your way through these drills, increase the intensity gradually. By the time you finish your routine, you should feel ready to let loose and throw hard.

• Duration of Your Routine:
  Ideally, your pre-game throwing should last about 20 minutes. However, time constraints can often disrupt this, especially during tournaments. Make sure you have a plan to get your throwing in before game time.
