Trendsetters to Showcase Skills at 17′ Army Bowl!
On January 7th we will finally get to see the top high school players match up on the biggest stage yet. The Army All-American bowl is a sort of showcase for the select youth football players to demonstrate their speed, strength, agility, football IQ and of course leadership skills. Steve Clarkson is proud to work with many of this years All-American signal callers. In fact, four of the six quarterbacks are trendsetters that will be leading their respective teams in this iconic matchup.
Last year Trendsetters K.J. Costello and Shea Patterson came out with a bang and were responsible for the lopsided game after throwing 2 TD’s each and taking home a 37-9 win.
Learn more about these All-American signal callers here before the game.

In order to create a balanced motion and to best use the power of your entire body, keep your non throwing arm out in front of you. This will help with both accuracy and power and is a fundamental of throwing mechanics.

One that can be used during your warmup routine is throwing from your knees. This will help warm up the shoulder and the kinetic motion of the arm will naturally come across the body.
