Can someone explain Med Ball accellerations in detail?

If you do a squat throw of the med ball straight out and then do a 30 meter sprint, won’t the med ball be in your path? Do you just jump over it when you get there?

Or when you do the squat throw, do you throw one direction, and then turn and sprint the other?

You can get around the ball. These drills are illustrated clearly in the GPP DVD

From my experiences with med ball throws, its only when I don’t throw it far that it gets in the way. Even so, unless you’re throwing the ball dead straight all the time, the ball always rears off course leaving your path clear anyway.
