Before you make any changes, answer these 3 questions.

Question 1 - Does a change really need to happen?

Yes, I’d make the adjustment - When your results are unacceptable to baseball people at the highest levels, you need to make an adjustment!

No, I wouldn’t make the change - when the reason for your improvement comes from something you see another pitcher do, what someone says you need to do or you're merely experimenting with your movements, I’d recommend you keep your current motion and merely optimize your footwork.

Question 2 - Why should the change happen?

Yes, I’d make the adjustment – your mind's "built-in response mechanism" indicates the adjustment will improve your results.

No, don’t make the change – anytime your mind's "built-in response mechanism" shows the change causes your hips to tilt, stay away from making the adjustment.

Question 3 - How do you make your change happen?

Yes, I’d make the adjustment - When the way your mind's "built-in response mechanism" keep your body in balance  levels your hips, make the adjustment.

No, don’t make the change – Anytime you’re trying to change some movement within your motion, keep doing what you’re doing.

By using your mind's "built-in response mechanism" to drive your adjustments, you always have a valid reason to make a change and you're guaranteed to produce better results.

• Once you make these adjustments, you'll notice see more people staring at you and wondering why their delivery can't accomplish what they see you do!!!

There's no right or wrong in nature.

In nature, your mind's "built-in response mechanism" doesn’t care whether your movements are productive or disruptive. 

All your mind's "built-in response mechanism cares about is keeping or getting your hips level.

Your mind's "built-in response mechanism" might not care about your hip orientation, but you should!

All consecutive year, Cy Young winners keep their hips level into their front foot lift.

Managing your mind - With well-managed movements, your mind's "built-in response mechanism" keeps your throwing arm free to instantly respond to your lower body actions. Once your glove side triggers your foot plant, to get back in balance, your mind's "built-in response mechanism" instinctively pulls your throwing hand into release.  As a reflex, your throwing hand consistently moves through a tiny release window.

Journeymen pitchers let their minds manage them.

Your mind controls you - Your hip tilt forces 
your mind's "built-in response mechanism" to use your arms for balance.  Because you're using your throwing arm for balance, you delay your throwing arm into your release.  Your independent throwing arm action expands your release window, makes you miss your target over the plate too often and, in general, produces unacceptable results.

Your body may not care about how you keep yourself in balance, but, unless you care, you’re unnecessarily shortening your pitching career.

When, for no known reason, your worst pitches travel outside your body, ask me to turn your throwing arm balance into lower body balance.

Are You Putting Yourself in Jeopardy?

You’re putting yourself in jeopardy are when you obsess over your results.

A Performance Driven Delivery

A "performance driven performance" model means you use prematurely use your throwing arm for balance, delay your throwing arm into release and produce unacceptable results.

You can't control your results...

• The hitter directly influences your results.  Good hitters hurt your results.  Bad hitters pad your results.
  - You can't control your opponent, so why measure your results against your opponent?
• Your naturally unproductive performances force you to use your last pitch location to influence your next pitch arm angle.
  - You can't overpower your mind's "built-in response mechanism", so why not do something to work with it?
• Your constant change in arm angle, no matter how subtle, creates the small ligament tears and fraying that, over many repetitions, makes you an extreme Tommy John risk.
  - You fail to address your arm slot changes and, because your throwing arm distress takes you off the mound, you won't have to worry about your results?
• Your inability to dominate at your current level hitters translates to next level hitters totally controlling you, not you dominating them.
  - When you properly address the cues your mind's "built-in response mechanism", you move past "potential" and show talent evaluators "ability"?

The opposite of a performance driven delivery is a motion driven delivery.

• You use your footwork to position your hips to keep your throwing arm free to instantly respond to your stride
• Your throwing hand moves through a naturally healthy, totally spontaneous and extremely acceptable performance.
• You motion produces your results without you requiring your results to drive your results.

Want a naturally productive, Tommy John resistant motion?  … Ask me to show you how properly managed footwork gets you to pitch as good as or better than you ever expected.

How do you rank against other pitchers?

Anyone can be ordinary, but, in pitching, the ability to produce sustainable fastball command will exceed everyone's expectations and move you to the head of the class.

• Sustainable fastball command comes from your mind's "built-in response mechanism" keeping your throwing arm free to immediately respond to your body position at foot plant.
• Keeping your throwing arm free to respond to your mind's "built-in response mechanism" keeping your hips level at the top of your front leg lift.

Not only does your sustainable fastball command turns you into a baseball scout magnet.  When people see how efficient your movements looks, they don't know why, but the stop and stare at your movements in an  attempt to figure out how you do what you do.

To find out how to properly manage your mind's "built-in response mechanism" and, at the same time, exceed your wildest expectations, contact me.

Keep it simple.

“Keeping it Simple” means you have a singular focus on your footwork.

Your footwork determines whether you control your movements or your movements control you.

Your footwork allows you to get your throwing arm to make one spontaneous, location-producing, velocity-enhancing, late-ball-movement reaction.

Without a focus on your footwork , instead of your improvement being execution drive, your improvement relies upon your ability to use your last pitch results to determine your next pitch arm slot. 

• Your footwork is the only way to offset your natural urge to use your throwing arm for balance. 
• based upon the time we spent figuring out how to optimize your footwork, when you try to manage your own footwork, by the time you figure out what you need to do, you'll be past your pitching prime. 

By showing you how to optimize your footwork, as soon as you begin your delivery, just like all consecutive year, Cy Young winners, you keep your throwing arm free to instantly trigger a Tommy John resistant, naturally productive and totally spontaneous throwing reflex.

Want to simplify your delivery and supercharge your results, then contact me.

Are You Focused On the Right Stuff?

Are you thinking more about your best pitches or are you thinking about your worst misses?

You expect to do well, but your worst pitches tell you what you need to work on to generate many more productive pitches.

… By addressing the reason you to missed your target by so much, you'll permanently improve your delivery.
... With a laser focus on what you do well, you improve nothing.

When your movements cause you to you miss your target outside your catcher's body, you …

... Consciously changing your throwing arm slot to get your next pitch into your target area does nothing to permanently shrink your target area.
... Also, thinking your miss was just a fluke occurrence is not a solution.
... Taking a breath, making sure you use your optimized footwork and make a complementary front foot lift brings your next pitch back to your target.

By optimizing your footwork, your worst misses finish much, much closer to your target.

The instant you realize no one is truly addressing or knows how to improve your worst misses, ask me for help.

Do you have a valid reason to make a change?

You're using "blind instruction" anytime you make an adjustment without having a valid reason to make the change. 

You only have a short window to prove to someone you would be an asset to their team.  

• “Blind instruction” extends your learning curve and reduces the chance someone/anyone will recognize your pitching skills.

Everything within your motion follows how your mind's "built-in response mechanism" processes your hip orientation.

- Changing an action without consideration to how impact your hip orientation means you're using trial and error to improve your delivery?

Everything you see within everyone else's motion is a reaction to a prior action.

- Attempting to include in your motion what you see in someone else's motion changes your hip orientation?  Blindly following what you think you see in someone else's motion is pitching suicide.

When manage the way your mind's "built-in response mechanism" interprets your hips, your mind begins controlling your actions.

- You use your mind's "built-in response mechanism"  to tell when and where to make adjustment that'll instantly shrink your target area, get your ball to break closer to the plate and, no matter the pitch selection, show the opposition a deceptive arm action.

Stop blindly doing what you think you should do and ask me to me to use your mind's "built-in response mechanism" to instantly make your results much more acceptable.
