@adbono posted:@HSDad22, to be clear I did not mean that there is no value to using pull downs in training IF THEY ARE DONE PROPERLY. What I said was that 90% of what I see out there (and online) is garbage. I incorporate controlled pulldowns into the training that I do personally with HS, college , and pro pitchers. But I don’t train kids for money. And therein lies the difference. I’m not trying to build a brand off the backs of kids by posting nonsense videos and making ridiculous claims. I see so much reckless training of young players and it both disgusts and angers me. Reckless and unqualified “instructors” are ruining kids and profiting while they do it. Parents are perpetuating the problem by paying for garbage because they haven’t done their homework. I’m not going to get into it on a public forum but Driveline isn’t lily white in this deal either.
Yeah, the more I wrote the more I realized that is where you were going with that, and agree 100%.
I'm not always so quick on the uptake.
