Also, on the throws. Try to stick with throws for height or throws forwards. Most of the time when people do overhead backwards throws, they use their lower back way too much. At best, it leads to suboptimal development of the glutes/hamstrings and at worst it leads to hyperextended backs. Make sure they are very well coached if you do them or just stick with throws for height–a lot easier to teach.

I’ve noticed that too. I had some athletes this summer that could not grasp the OHB throw without using low back too much, yet all other throws they could do. Good tip!
