Phillips: Steve is doing a back exercise with this soccer-type throw over his head. He’s using his back muscles both to throw the ball and catch the ball coming back overhead. This is similar to any time Steve has to make an outlet pass or get into a weird motion. For example, he might be on a single leg, falling backwards and has to wait for the defender to go by to make a quick pass. Or when he fakes a shot, and he’s got the ball above his head in the first place, but decides to make a different angled pass from overhead. We are adding the weight of the med ball as a strength component.
