OK. in gym in school we are playing dodge ball and there are lots of guys that just throws the ball so hard and fast...and some of them are super skinny( no muscle ) and some are really fat. what i don't understand is that i'm pretty strong but i can't throw a ball nearly as half hard as they can...how do they do that? is there like a trick to throw a ball or something? or am i just really weak?

It's probably something to do with your form. Make sure you are transferring your weight from your hind leg to the front leg that you plant with. I.e. if you are right handed, left leg plants forward and right leg stationary. Be sure to follow through! I doubt you are weak, you probably just have poor technique.

it could be a million things:

- muscle fibre make up
- technique
- core strength
- stabiliser muscle strength
- reactive vs static ability

to name a few

Focus on improving your form. It helps immensely.

95% sure its your technique. Its much more complex then using your arms. its about, like states earlier, transferring weight, much like throwing a punch where u have to use your feet, hips, torso etc
