long throws
Far athletic launches
Long throws in soccer are throw-ins launched with exceptional distance, typically from near the opponent's penalty area, used as set-piece attacking opportunities.
Players generate power through a running start and follow-through, essentially turning a restart into a cross.
Teams with a long throw specialist can threaten goal directly from the sideline: Their long throws are as dangerous as corner kicks.
