He said that unfortunately, too many Coaches are more concerned with their records / jobs, than the health of a players arm. And when a player continues to throw improperly, and builds muscle memory, they will revert back to their improper mechanics, especially when fatigued, creating more chance of injury. He said that under those situations, a player won't have an arm left, for whatever his next level could be. Also had a previous Pitcher from same HS, whom had coached son one Summer in Travel Ball, actually came to us, to warn us about not allowing HS Coaches to overuse him. 2013 was recruited as a Pitcher. But, he goes back to see / work with that same Instructor that he was referred to, every chance he gets, and will over the Summer. PM me for contact info, if you live in IL.
Get a referral from a good Baseball Coach. 2013 took lessons from former MLB Pitcher, Asst. High School Coach (Pitching Instructor) and then we received a phone call from a recently retired / Hall of Fame Coach, telling us that if 2013 were his son, and given a 100 mile radius, he'd have him working with ##### as his personal Pitching Instructor. 2013 loved working with this guy. Given the proper exercises for a Pitcher. As well as routine for before and after pitching. Shown how to use his strong lower half to his advantage. Made adjustments, perfected pitches, quickly increased velocity, and built confidence. Never allowed to throw a Curveball, until Instructors said his body was now developed to. It shouldn't go by age alone. MLB Pitcher really liked 2013, and would make him drop and give him push-ups, if he even asked to try throwing a Curveball, before he'd been told that he was ready to.
