It really depends on what you are after, your budget, where you live and the time you have available to invest.

 

We chose Driveline because we wanted to focus on arm strength/conditioning and velocity increase, but we don't live near Driveline. We don't live near any of the listed facilities, so we needed something that will work in our location. Driveline has a remote training option that works for us. It is very player driven and requires time and dedication. It's different than having a coach seeing you face-to-face for an hour a week and giving you feedback on mechanical changes or going to a summer camp for a few weeks. The player needs to make the time to complete the exercises and work with their trainer remotely. It's a long-term commitment both time wise and financially. We're only a few months into the program and my son is still working to make the daily exercises and training a habit, but I think all the work will pay off in the long run. I will say that his arm has never felt better. He has no pain after pitching. Several of his teammates have been out of commission for periods of Spring and Summer ball due to arm pain, but he is stronger than ever.

As a high school Junior, my son attended two of Tom House's clinics: a 3-day one in our hometown during the school year; and, because he felt like he took so much from that one, a week-long one in San Diego in the summer. Then, because that had gone well, he was asked to return as an instructor/intern for the summer in San Diego after his Freshman year in college.

 

He credits a great deal of his success as a pitcher to his time with Dr. House and the numerous instructors he worked with in his clinics. As is the case with virtually all of the best programs, Dr. House takes a very holistic approach; so, the mental aspect, nutrition, weight-lifting, and other important elements other than mechanics are taught.
