How to Develop Bulletproof Muscle Memory


You miss your target by an unacceptable distance and, because you have a productive movement sequence,  you can expect and see your next pitch travel into your target.

What do you do during your bullpen sessions?

The more your movements seamlessly connect your body parts, the more pitches you see travel into your target.

When you get to this point, you spend your bullpen sessions reinforcing the movement pattern you know works for you.

Any disconnect between any one of your body parts and, instead of using your bullpen to reinforce, your bullpen sessions turn into a location-producing work-around.

Three approaches to muscle memory.

Good – This might seem repetitive, but one bullpen approach is hoping to improve your location by improving your location.
Once you find a “feel” for your pitches, your pitches travel into your target. With this approach, when you take the mound, you’re forced to find a different “feel” for every outing. At the higher levels, while you try to find your “feel for that day, your Opponents patiently wait for you to make mistakes they can drive.

Better - You make arbitrary changes to your motion, but the issue becomes knowing whether the change improves your results?
You hold onto any change that produces the results you want to see, but without a large sample of pitches, you never know until it’s too late whether the change is right for you.

Best - You study your motion, make improvements based upon your research and, after making the adjustment, expect to see more pitches travel into your target.
With this option, there’s no guessing, hoping or trying. You simply use your bullpen session to reinforce the repeatable movement patterns that turn your results into an expectation.

Productive bullpen sessions.

The “Best” option is your goal. Discover an efficient movement pattern and you stop worrying about your results. You miss your target by an unacceptable distance and, because you have a productive movement sequence,  you can expect and see your next pitch travel into your target.
