We’re training our softball girls to take a skills test (Sparq Training) that covers four core strength areas in the sport.
20 yard dash – 15 yard shuffle step – Vertical Jump – Powerball Throw
Here’s a question for you . . .
How far do you think you can throw a 5lb ball (with two hands like you were swinging a bat)?
Second question . . .
What would be damaged along the way as you attempted this throw?

No, Randy, the FIRST question is: Can you lift a 5 pound ball with two hands?
What would be damaged? Much of my skeletal system.

I don’t know the answer to question #2 but because you have to ask question #2 it means that the obvious answer to question #1 is: “Farther than you think!”

That does not sound fun.
I would not have been able to do anything. My shoulder is shot and it can barely get the fork to my mouth.
My ball-playing days are over.

Not to even entertain the first question, I go directly to the second. The answer would be the same as Greg’s! My arm would go out of socket!
