Coaching-Hinweise
Technik-Tipps
When catching the medicine ball, always use both hands and absorb the impact by bending your knees and hips, going into a slight squat position. This reduces the risk of injury to your hands, arms, and shoulders. Never try to catch the ball with straight or locked arms, as this can lead to injuries.
When throwing the ball overhead, use your legs and hips to generate power, not just your arms. Your arms should follow the momentum created by your lower body. Extend your arms and release the ball at the highest point of your reach to maximize the height and distance of the throw.
