You Have a “Go to” Position You May Not “Go To”?

You Have a “Go to” Position You May Not “Go To”?

You currently talk about “balance”, but, because your Body naturally drives itself in “balance”, merely talking about “balance” without managing your “balance” gives your Body no meaningful direction. Enter your “go to” position.

Your Body’s “go to” position… Your Body is in its “go to” position when your Shoulders/Hips are level and over each other and your Core is straight up and down. 

… and your body’s “go to” response. The instant you move out of your “go to” position, until you get back into your “go to” position, your Body stops listening to the way you want your Body to move! 

You can’t change your “go to” mechanism, but you can use your “go to” response to take you to the next level. You can spend hours trying to force your Body to generate more productive results, but, until you use your predictable “go to” responses to your advantage, the thought of getting your Body to move the way you want remains a work in progress.

Properly managing your “go to” response can make you dominant beyond your wildest dreams. By correctly managing your “go to” responses, with uncanny certainty, you can push your Body to produce a highly efficient, totally spontaneous and extremely repeatable throwing action.

Not accurately managing your “go to” mechanism…

- Keeps you from putting together good back-to-back-to-back outing.

- Causes you to spend hours fixing one thing only to realize you never fixed anything

- Forces your Team to overcome your disruptive “go to” responses.

If any of these career blockers describes you, contact me to discover how proven “go to” management instantly resolves your “go to” issues.

Successful Pitchers build their motion around their subconscious responses.

Consider the 4 ways your subconscious works.

1. To your subconscious, the only real thing is your present position.  
The good news is that you have complete and total control over your current body position.
2. Your subconscious only acts in the present.
Your subconscious only responds to your current body position.
3. Your subconscious always responds to the same positions in the same way.
Predictable subconscious patterns are built into your brain and, depending upon your current position, determine your future movements.
4. Your subconscious keeps your body in balance.
Your current position combines with your predictable subconscious patterns to determine whether, moving forward, you use your arms or your lower body for balance.

Use your subconscious to your advantage.

In pitching, as your front foot hits the ground, successful subconscious management uses your lower body balance to place all your weight to your glove hand side.

Predictably, with all your weight to your glove hand side, you give your subconscious one and only one way to equalize your weight… apply a rotational force (your hips) to a stationary object (your throwing arm) to use a spontaneous throwing action to bring your body back in balance.

Here's the great news.

As a natural byproduct of using your lower body for balance, without any conscious effort, your subconscious spontaneously produces pinpoint command, enhanced velocity, much later ball movement and, no matter your grip or release, your Opponent thinks you’re throwing a fastball.

Velocity Doesn’t Define You

All too often your pitching is defined by your velocity and not where your pitch ends up.

Sadly, People make instant conclusions about you as a Pitcher based upon your velocity. 

Even worse, Pitchers with lesser velocity and pinpoint command come to feel inferior to Pitchers who throw harder, but don’t know where their next pitch is going to end up?

You’re led to believe velocity is the end-all-be-all, but, once a hard throwing pitcher moves to the next level, they’re just like everyone else… they throw hard, they don’t know where their next pitch is going to end up and they let their Opponent control them.

Your Coach never visits the mound to tell you “You’re not throwing hard enough”.  His visits are always about command.

Your command comes in one of two forms.

1.     Spontaneous Command - Command is a spontaneous consequence of the lower body position you create as you move toward your target. Ironically, a natural by-product of a delivery with lower body involvement is enhanced velocity, much later ball movement and, no matter your grip or release, your Opponent seeing a fastball arm speed.
2.     Forced Command - Command is aiming at a target and hoping the ball goes into that target as you move your throwing arm around your head as quickly as you can.

For those of you who dream of pitching at the highest levels, instead of letting velocity define you as a Pitcher, ask me to teach you how to command your next pitch while I maximize your throwing arm speed.
