All of these gimmicks posted publicly are setting a terrible precedent for the future of development. Stop putting timelines on development. Stop guaranteeing success. Peak velocity is not as important as the floor. Specific context is more important than fake velo environments.

I have an athlete who worked 21 days straight and was not sleeping well. He came in to pulldown and we noticed he was marginally down in velocity. We took a deload week and now he has to text me every night when he goes to bed and every morning he wakes up.

Something I messed up on early in my coaching career was how to develop left handed pitchers. A couple situations in particular where everything I thought & taught ended up being wrong. I took some guys & totally pushed them in the wrong direction.

Here at @TreadAthletics , we have been experimenting with a.) identifying a late arm action & b.) implementing solutions Although it is not always as simple as an instant fix, let’s jump into a real world example of addressing a late arm action with one of my current athletes.

The importance of elbow extension in the deceleration pattern: Many throwers who go through elbow trauma end up losing range of motion acutely. It is very important to establish & regain full range of motion in order to eliminate compensation patterns up the chain.

@Nico_Dandini Interns are not slaves. They are future co-workers & friends in the industry. I quickly realized that coaches did not want to see me slaving out to kiss their ass. They actually wanted to see if I could coach, handle a floor, & knew what I was talking about.

This is so huge. So many coaches are too quick to jump on something and bring people down. Most of the time you are only seeing a fraction of what goes into a players program and what you think is wrong might work for someone else. Don’t let that ego get in the way y’all. 🩹

“Cues” are just analogies that should be understood through past experiences. Giving an athlete a cue to a movement they have never done does no good. Self organization isn’t a thing without experience of what is supposed to be organized.

Implementing the cue of “building up speed into ball release” into his routine had significant impact on his sequencing leading to a new mound velo PR of 94.7 mph! For context, Mason was 90-91 mph during bullpens this past summer. Big things coming from him this off-season!
