How to do it

Setup

Facing a solid wall, ball at the chest, staggered or square stance.

Steps

  1. Throw the ball explosively from the chest into the wall.
  2. Catch the rebound or collect it.
  3. Full reset before every throw.

Common mistakes

Pushing, not throwing: INTEND to put it through the wall. Arms-only: the legs and trunk load the throw. Fatigue throws: power dies quietly; stop while it is crisp.

Breathing

Sharp exhale on the throw.
