Reply to "Long toss vs. actual pitching velocity"

There are guys who throw from multiple arm slots with success because there will always be exceptions to every rule. They have this natural ability to be able to do things that most people cannot do. But you end up playing with fire when you try to turn what the exceptions can do into a rule.

Today our kicker was trying to connect on a 35 yard field goal in practice. He has the leg to do it but he was off today and the guy who coaches kickers was telling him something he was doing wrong. The kid was trying to say he couldn't do that and what he did would work. I finally heard enough of this and said "you've missed the last 5 attempts and aren't close. 10,000 kickers all over the nation do it the way coach is trying to tell you how to do it with success. You're obviously not the exception to the rule so do it the way he wants." He did and then made the next three.

Just because somebody can do something doesn't mean everyone can.
