“Untrained” Pitching Coaches Block Progress


With every adjustment, a Location Specialist following the PPI Location Protocol© quickly improves the ratio of the Student’s total pitches traveling into their intended target.

Pitching contains a tragic failure loop.

Pitching Coaches drive Pitchers to self-coaching and self-coaching drives Pitchers to Pitching Coaches.

This makes the simple task of a Pitcher bringing his throwing hand through the same sustainable and highly effective release window almost impossible.

Self-Coached Pitchers

Self-Coached Pitchers …
  • Understand how their body works,
  • Feel how their body reacts to itself and
  • Have a natural process that has them adjusting their next pitch results to how they felt themselves move during their last pitch.

Self-Coached Pitchers continue this process until their location is as competitive as they feel their results need to be.

When the Pitcher’s self-adjustments don’t work, these Self-Coached Pitchers seek out a Pitching Coach.

Pitching Coaches

Pitching Coaches are “anointed”.

When someone believes an individual can revive or energize another person’s pitching results, the individual is officially “anointed” as a Pitching Coach. Sadly, no formal training is required!

“Anointed” Pitching Coaches …
  • See the way their Pitcher’s body move,
  • Relates what they see to how they want the Pitcher’s delivery to look and
  • After comparing what they see to what they think is right, the Pitching Coach asks their Student to make a seemingly random adjustment to their last motion.

When a Pitching Coach’s efforts don’t produce the results the Pitcher expects, the Pitcher either goes into self-coaching mode or finds another Pitching Coach. Ironically, the new Pitching Coach gives their Pitcher’s a fresh set of self-coaching goals. When these goals don’t work, the Pitcher looks for yet another Coach to boost their results.

Pro Pitching Institute (PPI) Trained Location Specialists

PPI Location Specialists follow a copyrighted pitch location protocol. The PPI process trains Location Specialists to …
  • Know how their Pitcher’s body works,
  • Understand how their Pitcher’s body reacts to itself and
  • Combine the above with a systematic process proven to get their Student’s throwing hand to come through the same release window on every pitch.

With every adjustment, a Location Specialist following the PPI Location Protocol© quickly improves the ratio of the Student’s total pitches traveling into their intended target.

Want to become a more effective Coach or Pitcher?

The PPI teaches ‘anointed’ Pitching Coaches how to teach their pitching Students to deliver each pitch into their intended target.

The PPI also uses the same location protocol to teach individual Pitchers to far exceed their wildest pitching dreams.

If either of these options would improve your coaching skills or your pitching results, you’re invited to contact “Skip Fast for next steps.

Win the pitching game within the game


When you know the rules and have the winning strategy, you win all the time!!!

No matter the game, unless you know the rules, you’re not going to win.

Pitching is no different. When you “try” or “hope” to win at pitching, you don’t know the rules, won’t locate the ball and, very quickly, can’t find roster spots.

What are the rules?
When you know the rules and have the winning strategy, you win all the time!!!


The rules for maximizing your velocity/throwing arm speed
The physical laws of nature dictate you maximize your throwing arm speed by getting your lower body to whip your throwing arm into release.

The rules for improving location
The only way to improve your location is to focus on and understand gravity’s impact on your positions and movements. By doing this, gravity won’t need your throwing arm for balance and, consequently, your lower body can whip your throwing hand through the same release window on every pitch.

The rules to making effective adjustments
Changes within your front leg lift are the only changes you should make. The signals your front leg lift sends to your brain determines your throwing arm path. When you fail to manage your front leg lift, you can only “try” and “hope” to do better?

How do you know you’re winning?

You’re winning when, with each adjustment, you ……
  • Improve your throwing arm speed while you see your worst misses consistently finish closer to your target.
  • End your front leg lift with your weight pounding down on a spot just in front of your back foot.
  • Instantly enhance your strike-to-ball ratio.

Bottom-line, you’re winning when you try less and succeed more!

 Stop trying and start doing

Change your current mindset and you’re guaranteed to attract next-level attention right now!

Velocity
Stop trying to maximize your velocity. Instead, use gravity to your advantage, keep your arms uninvolved with your balance and, as you come out of your starting position, make sure to engage your lower body.

Location
Stop using your last pitch result to drive your next-pitch arm slot. Instead, develop a process where, without aiming, you know your pitches have a greater chance to travel directly into your intended target.

Adjustments
Stop trying to change your actions as you move down the mound. Instead, manage your results through your positions/movements into your front leg lift.

Stop searching for a way to win the pitching game!

The progression featured on the ProPitchingInstitute.com web site obeys the rules of the pitching game, shortens your learning curve and, without hurting what you do so well, instantly improves your pitch location.

If, after you use this progression for a couple of weeks, you don’t find yourself throwing more strikes, I'll do two things.
  • First, I’ll waive the monthly $15 fee an outsider pays for my professional guidance and,
  • Second, I’ll use what you send me to personalize a program that’ll fix the roadblocks standing in the way of you throwing more strikes.

Your next 10,000 motions determine your future


You force your mind to process a specific posture/movement combination into your leg lift and the chances you bring your throwing hand through the same release window on every pitch dramatically increase.

Everything in pitching is black and white

Your mind constantly monitors your posture and movement patterns. Your mind makes sure you respond to a specific posture and movement pattern in a very specific and very predictable way.

This predictability lets you use your positions and movement patterns to turn your throwing action into a highly efficient and very sustainable response.

How to develop sustainable location?

You force your mind to process a specific posture/movement combination that’s proven to bring your throwing hand through the same release window every time you throw a pitch.

You rehearse these same postures and movement patterns 10,000 times and you’ll come to expect every pitch to travel directly into your target.

Your process becomes such a habit that you become THE Pitcher who, every time you take the mound, keeps their Team close enough to win.

How do you recognize this ONE process?

When you find your ONE process, your ball travels directly into your intended target without the receiver’s glove moving.  Again, it’s black and white. Either your pitches go where you want or they don’t!

You’ve found your ONE process when, on one pitch, you miss your target by an unacceptable distance and throw the next pitch directly into your target over 75% of the time.

Anything less than achieving these measurements will compromise your next pitch location and will shorten your pitching future.

How do you find the ONE process that works for you?

You find the ONE process to practice 10,000 times by systematically eliminating your worst misses.

Anytime you miss your target by an unacceptable distance, you find the position/movement pattern breakdown and fix it.

When a Pitcher asks a knowledgeable source for help, finding the ONE process happens very quickly.

When a Pitcher associates themselves with someone unfamiliar with the way the body works, finding the ONE process becomes a long and frustrating pursuit.

How are you going to use your next 10,000 pitches?

The progression featured on the ProPitchingInstitute.com web site gets you very close to the ONE process you want to practice 10,000 times, shrinks your release window and teaches you how to follow any poor outcome with a pitch that travels directly into your target.

If, after you use this progression for a couple of weeks, you don’t find yourself throwing more strikes, I'll do two things.

·     First, I’ll waive the monthly $15 fee an outsider pays for my professional guidance and,
·         Second, I’ll use what you send me to personalize a program that’ll fix the roadblocks standing in the way of you throwing more strikes.

No Conflicts, Better Results!


To maximize your strike-to-ball ration, you open your front shoulder to your target, your body spins down the mound and, by plan, to stop from hurting yourself, your throwing hand comes through the same release window on every pitch.

How Your Mind Works?

Your brain is built to protect you from injury.

Without thinking about it, your mind makes sure your body is always in balance, your arms are free to react to any threats and you’re able to move any way you want.

Standing Positions Say It All

A Typical Standing Position
Let’s pretend you stop to talk to someone.

Without thinking about it, you place your feet a comfortable distance apart and you center your weight between your feet.

Your body wants to feel your weight centered between your feet, you’re stable, your arms are free to respond to any danger, and, should it be needed, you can quickly move in any direction.

Standing with Your Legs Crisscrossed
From experience, you know standing with your legs crossed means, to keep from falling, your arms react to the slightest weight shift.

Standing with Your Legs Far Apart
Position your feet outside your shoulders and your arms are free to move anyway you want, you’re stable, but your mobility is limited.

But You Start Your Motion on One Foot?

For the first time anywhere, we present this reality; When perched on one foot, your mind substitutes your knees for your feet.

No Conflict … Knee Separation
By ending your front leg lift with a separation between your knees, your mind naturally stabilizes your weight between your knees and, consequently, keeps your arms free to move the way you want. 
Once your front leg reaches its highest point, the slightest arm action causes your body to move.

To begin your delivery, you open your front shoulder to your target. As a result, your body spins down the mound and, by plan, to stop from hurting yourself, your throwing arm instantly makes a throwing action and your throwing hand comes through the same release window on every pitch.

Conflicts … No Separation between Your Knees
When you end your front leg lift with your front knee even with or behind your back, your mind instinctively centers your weight over your back foot. You’re able to move your arms, but, as you do, your body stays in place.

To begin your delivery, you must shift your weight toward your target. Only when your front foot gets back on the ground does your body stop using your throwing arm for balance. As a consequence, you reduce the chance your throwing arm comes through the same release window from one pitch to the next.

The Pro Pitching Institute eliminates your conflicts!!!

The progression featured on the ProPitchingInstitute.com web site uses your body’s natural tendencies to maximize your ball-to-strike ratio.

If, after you use this progression for a couple of weeks, you don’t find yourself throwing more strikes, I'll do two things.
  • First, I’ll waive the monthly $15 fee an outsider pays for my professional guidance and,
  • Second, I’ll use what you send me to personalize a program that’ll fix the roadblocks standing in the way of you throwing more strikes.
