Narrow ISA —hitter left Narrow ISA pitcher right Near identical jump height ▶️Hitter will use more A-P compression to preload pelvic outlet = greater rate dependent metrics ▶️pitcher-use more relative motions—greater countermovement depth Generally favorable adaptations -both

Narrower structure trying to force a hingey type move on the left vs moving more along helical angle on right Lateral foot becomes delay on left pic-on right can better create IR shape prox-distal Great representation of the change of movement of guts--see bat path

Trevor Moawad on challenges “...don’t simply assume that everything will work out. Don’t tell yourself you can’t do It. Just evaluate the situation. Figure out what you can accomplish right now. Then draw your line. When you cross that line, draw another one. And keep going”

Generally speaking incoming athletes will fall into 3 categories: those that will follow the typical progression of our LTAD model, physical outliers, and technical outliers. Their distribution also tends align pretty closely with a typical bell curve.

And yet some people in this country still deny that white privilege exists. Sickening. Maybe the one “positive” that comes out of today is this provides an enlightenment for some.

Top before bottom after More x & y force on back leg --generally KPI for Wide Isa Big difference is shape and timing of lead leg (red arrows) Heel can actually IR and energy propagate thru foot ER'd heel on top-skips over heel-creates several speed bumps to try -find a downforce
