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.

Rotation without forward movement produces sustainability.

Rotation without forward movement produces sustainability.

You never know when you’ll begin your throwing action - At the first sign of a forward weight shift, your subconscious uses your throwing arm to counterbalance your weight shift. Until your subconscious it senses your lower body is your center of balance, you continue using your throwing arm for balance. At the point where your body is back in balance, your subconscious frees your throwing arm to complete your delivery.

We don’t know of any Coach who knows how to teach a Pitcher to move down the mound and into their foot plant at the exactly same rate all the time. Even a fraction of a second difference from one pitch to the next translates to the Pitcher missing their last pitch release point by a ½ inch and their location by 3 inches.  Missing your target by 3 inches means, at the highest levels, the Pitcher gives their Opponent an opportunity to drive the ball.

You begin your throwing action at the same time all the time - Sustainability comes from using one rotation at the same time on every pitch that’ll force your subconscious to spontaneously take your throwing hand through the same productive path.

By teaching Pitchers to end your front leg lift using your lower body for balance, the Sustainability Network allows the Pitcher to rotate their body into their foot plant at the same point all the time which, to their body back in balance, uses their subconscious to spontaneously bring their throwing hand through the same tiny release window.

Sustainability comes from using a Pitcher’s throwing arm not for offsetting a forward weight shift, but to bring their body back to balance after they rotate out of your lower body balanced front leg lift.

The Pro Pitching Institute.

There is only ONE way to fix a motion.

What you see when you look at a motion are behaviors.

A “behavior” is a reaction to an action.

Your wasting your time trying to change a “behavior” by changing the “behavior”?

The Sustainability Network makes the behaviors you see more efficient, more functional and more sustainable by addressing the action causing the behavior you want to change.

In fact, when you know what to look for, the way you see your body behave tells you which actions you need to address.

Become a Sustainability Network Member today!!!

As a Network Member, you use the 5 Core Behaviors to point you to the one action that’ll improve a Pitcher’s effectiveness, execution and sustainability.

Elite pitchers focus on their motion, not their results.

When a pitcher’s results are unacceptable, they adjust their motion. Their motion’s efficiency, functionality and sustainability becomes only as good as their most acceptable last pitch result.

For any pitcher to distinguish themselves, they become more efficient than other pitchers, make their movements more functional than other pitchers and show greater sustainability than other pitchers. 

Pitchers who make efficiency, functionality and sustainability their goal are offered more next-level opportunities than pitchers who live and die by their last pitch result. 

Efficient – A pitcher’s organized and systematic movements waste no energy.

- Efficient pitchers use their front leg lift to produce lower body balance and their core rotation to trick your body into producing unbelievably exceptional results.

Functional – Rather than whether a pitcher’s motion looks right, the best pitchers design their motion to effectively use their core to produce their results.

- Pitchers with a core-driven approach magically produce next-level results and, because they realize they can’t produce better results than they do through their core-driven delivery, they stop trying to make their motion look the way someone else says their motion should look. 

Sustainable – The elite pitchers know how to maintain their results from one pitch to the next and from season to season.

- These pitchers use their efficient and functional core-driven responses to simply and systematically maintain their results.

I turn inefficient, dysfunctional and unsustainable arm-driven deliveries into an efficient, functional and sustainable core-driven motions.  Contact me to show the pitchers you know what I can do for them.
