The four steps to throwing a perfect spiral, according to an interview with junior starting quarterback Treavor Gebhart:
1. The hand placement: First, put your pinky on the third lace and your ring finger on the first lace, so you have a nice firm grip. Hold the ball lightly with the other hand.
2. The load: Put the ball right next to your ear. This allows you to get your shoulders to face your target. The ball should be parallel to the side of your face.
3. The release: Extend your arm from the load position. Drop your non-dominate hand. Throw the ball and let go with your thumb as you release, allowing the ball to rotate.
4. The follow-through: Flip your wrist and bring your hand to your opposite pocket.
