Med Ball Throws

Sean,

I spoke to Coach Boyle today on The Strength Coach podcast about the importance of Medicine Ball throws. He had posted:

"To get better at shooting we shoot. Shooting is legs and trunk. We’ve never done any grip, wrist, forearm stuff. I love med ball throws for shooting."

(This was about side throws)

I asked him how he cues them for hockey players and he said he really just focuses on getting them to throw from the back leg, and not focusing at all on arms/hands.

I tell golfers "Throw with your right butt cheek."

I use Slams, Chest Passes from different starts, and Side Throws (regular side throw and one with a lateral step towards the target)

Wanted to get your thoughts on what your "go-tos" are for med ball throws (with respect to specific throws and cueing) with hockey players.
