Could have been a coaching issue or mechanical issue. My son is only 9 but loves baseball and I somehow managed to instill some bad habits in his throwing technique early on so he struggles with consistency at this point. He can throw hard and accurately, but when he forgets to focus on the mechanics we’re working on fixing, he loses all accuracy.
Consistency and mechanics are key for sustained accuracy, and while I don’t know your background, if you never had a coach help you with your form, it’s not surprising that you struggle with accuracy.
That makes sense actually! Might be some combination. I was never specifically instructed how exactly to throw, but all the other kids didn’t seem to struggle like I did. Lack of coordination is a general problem for me. But now I’m intrigued to find out if I could learn with proper instruction
Definitely! It’s never too late to learn a new skill, especially with YouTube and the Internet available. I’d try looking up some videos specific to the type of throwing you want to learn, especially if there are some videos focused on fundamentals or teaching kids
You have the ability to. Doesn’t mean you have the skill
I tried so so hard to learn and though throughout my childhood and teens and I can’t for the life of me figure it out. Might be an autism thing?
