A vertical jump A seated med ball chest pass and sit up med ball throw So many times in my career I would try and get kids to do a certain movements and I’d get frustrated because they couldn’t figure it out.

If you aren’t strong and you dont have the intent to throw/swing hard, not alot else matters because those are the two big foundations.
