He is an expert at child growth, motor skill development, Exercise physiology, Kinesiology and applied anatomy. Even if you do not pitch with his full late rotational model you’re son will have the best chance to come out of his competitive pitching performances and general throwing completely healthy!!!
The information on adolescent human growth should be paramount in your thinking and carried over to his youth athletic timeline.

While Marshall's understanding of root cause of the problem is excellent, his ideas about mechanics are deeply flawed.

People should just copy Greg Maddux and other durable pitchers with long careers (and clean mechanics).
