Can you shoulder better pitching results?

When you put your body in a position to use your natural shoulder/hip alignments, you challenge very opponent to make solid contact with any pitch.

Your instinctively shoulder/hip alignment impulse. 

  •         By body has a subconscious response to keep your shoulders over your hips.
  •          Whenever your shoulder/hip alignment is off, your body’s priority becomes getting your shoulders and hips realigned.


A Dynamic Motion Taps this Impulse.

You end your front leg lift with your shoulders over your hips, and your weight centered between your knees.
  •         Action: Your starting body position allows you to create a lower body rotation that brings your back hip closer to your target than your throwing side shoulder.
  •          Effect: As a reaction to your movement out of your front leg lift, you’re force to instinctively bring your throwing side shoulder toward home.
  •         Result: Your back-shoulder movement causes you to spontaneously whip your throwing arm into your ball release.
  •      Outcome: Over time, you expect each pitch to travel directly into your Catcher’s mitt.


Because your throwing action is a reaction to the shoulder/hip alignment you intentionally create, your motion allows you to send more than 2 pitches in a row directly into your Catcher’s target.

A Stationary Motion Works Around this Impulse.

You end your front leg lift with your shoulders over your hips, and your back foot supporting your body weight.
  •         Action: Unless you make some movement that’ll take you into your stride, you won’t move out of your starting position.
  •         Effect: As you move down the mound and complete your stride, your shoulders remain over your hips.
  •         Result: To complete your motion, your throwing arm works by itself.
  •         Outcome: Because you turn your throwing action into an independent event, you never really know where each pitch will end up.


Because your throwing action has nothing to do with your shoulder/hip alignment as you end your stride, you’re always struggling to produce the results associated with a more dynamic motion.

If you want to know how simple it is to replace your stationary starting position with a more dynamic starting position, contact us.

Fear of Failure Creates Failure

Why Fear of Failure Creates Failure?

Science has a greater impact on your pitching than you realize.

The Science
Your Inner Ear
Your inner ear monitors your head alignment and, when not level, tells your body to use your arms to get your head back to level.
Sympathetic nervous system
Your sympathetic nervous system uses a “fight or flight” response to keep your body in balance.

How the Science Applies
Fear drives your actions
You fear of an unacceptable next pitch result becomes your lens to your world. Your battle for an acceptable next pitch moves you into "fight" mode.

You “fight” disconnects your sympathetic nervous system from the universal forces influencing the way your inner ear interprets your balance.  Your “fight” response doesn't care what you want to do, but your inner ear says to your body “we need to physically react."

Eliminate Fear
Every outing turns into a series of short-term emergencies.  Eventually, you start looking away from your “fight” response and begin looking toward “flight” response.  Your “flight” resolves the conflict between your “fight or flight” mechanism and the way your inner ear reads your movements.

Your “flight” takes you to a quiet place. During “flight”, you synchronize your movements to use natural forces to influence your inner ear to produce a totally spontaneous and very repeatable throwing action.

Guaranteed Success
By letting science drive your pitching plan, you’re guaranteed to seamlessly and effortlessly produce the high-level results you’ve been searching for all along.
