The #1 Strength technique to prevent Arm Injury
Do you have a Superior Labrum Anterior to Posterior (SLAP) tear? Do you want to know how to prevent a SLAP tear, Elbow pain, or any significant injury from happening as a baseball player? Enter Chris, a 15y/o left handed pitcher who was throwing good heat for his age (sitting in the low 80's) without any formal pitcher training. Chris began developing a painful pinch on the back of shoulder early in the Spring of 2014 in the late cocking position. This pain eventually brought him to my...

Poor Velocity from Poor Lay Back in Late Cocking?
[Let’s take a step back in time…….] “WTF….Why are they not improving their velocity with all the hard work they’ve been putting in?” Hours spent in the gym each week working on strength and power exercises, with years of evidence backing that up. Weeks spent honing their craft (they’re baseball pitchers btw), further ingraining the mechanics and postures they’ve been taught to avoid. I even personally examined these kids for any anatomical maladies that would prevent this sort of thing from...
