Where did the concept or statement of “you throw like a girl” come from? I mean I’ve seen just as many guys who can’t throw a ball as girls. It has something to do with weight and muscle and all that. I mean it’s about technique too. But at the same point in time, if you haven’t worked out and put the core effort into certain areas, you aren’t going to get that powerful throw no matter what technique you may have. For example, the press’ recent thing is that Obama apparently throws like a girl at some baseball thing. I’ve seen a video of him shooting hoops with a college basketball team, and he certainly doesn’t “shoot like a girl.” It’s sad that we’re even focusing on the idea that he can’t throw a ball properly anyway. But I mean honestly, why is it that we think that’s throwing like a girl instead of throwing like a boy. Granted, most sports at least in the professional arena have been at least first spearheaded by men, partly because men are willing to participate in the workouts involved to strengthen that particular area as well as the core to get that right throw. But at the same point in time, women are perfectly capable of doing the same workouts, learning the same skills, and essentially speaking performing.
