    1️⃣ Overhead Bounce + Hold: While maintaining a stable spinal and pelvic posture, bounce the ball overhead and hold for a bit after you catch. The goal here is to create and maintain space between your head and sacrum; try to avoid arching the low back
    2️⃣ Continuous Overhead Bounce: This is a more dynamic progression to the previous exercise, rhythm and timing are key to doing this effectively! This will also challenge the overhead strength of your shoulders
    3️⃣ Over Shoulder Throws: This is also commonly called the “hammer hip” throw. Basically we are loading one side of the hip, and throwing the ball over shoulder as powerfully as possible. Rotate the hip and pivot the foot to help generate as much power as possible
    4️⃣ Straight Rotational Throws: This exercise works on both rotation (concentrically into wall) and anti-rotation (eccentrically away from wall). Aim to fully follow through with the movement by fully extending arms and the hip furthest from the wall!
