Knowing Your Unknowns Produces Instant Improvement

 


How do you measure how much you know?

If you knew everything you needed to know about your delivery, over 50% of your pitches WOULD end up where you want with the velocity/ball movement you expect.

Anything less than 50% and there are some unknowns you don’t fully understand or have yet to discover.

If you’re like other Pitchers, you have yet to appreciate …

- How your body reacts to your forward movement,
- How your body keeps itself in balance,
- How your shoulders and hips work together, and
- How rotational inertia affects your pitch results.

Make these unknowns a part of every delivery and your Million$ pitching results become your expectation.

Right Movements in the Right Order

With an understanding of these unknowns, these unknowns merge to produce the Million$ pitching results needed to achieve your Big-League dreams.

Once a knowledgeable Coach sees your pitching motion, he intuitively knows how to adjust your movement sequence, make these unknowns a part of every delivery and, by doing so, take you a step closer to maximizing your pitching potential.

Produce Million$ Pitching Results



“Trying” indicates you may not know as much as you think.

When you’re “trying”, you’re “testing”.

When you’re “testing”, your cutting an already too short pitching career even shorter.

You also risk failing to realize the upper limits of your pitching potential.

Think of your body as a clearinghouse.

Your movements send messages to your body. Your body interprets these messages and decides which arm slot your throwing arm moves through.

When you “try”, you’re attempting to figure out how to send your body the right messages in the right order.

However, when you know how to move, you give your body everything it needs to produce the Million$ Pitching results you’re desperately “trying” to find.

Stop “trying”, start producing Million$ Results

If you were in one of my programs, we’d use video chat or an in-person pitching motion to show me how you move.

In less than 10-minutes, without asking you to change your throwing action, I’ll show you how to immediately and consistently show every Opponent a Million$ fastball arm speed, have your pitches produce Million$ late stage ball movement and, at the same time, expect Million$ command.

Want Million$ results? Let’s talk!

Comparisons breed frustration.

 


Comparisons breed frustration.

It’s human nature to compare, compete and measure your success against the accomplishments of others.

Most believe, when you copy a successful pitching motion, pitching success is yours ...or is it?

Comparisons are unfair.

You know yourself better than you know anyone else.

As a result, you compare the worst of you against the best of others.

You set out trying to do the impossible … make your actions duplicate another person’s reactions.

Your competition isn’t against others.

In pitching, your only competition is you.

To be the best pitching version of yourself, you need to stop these foolish comparisons from robbing you of your energy, your focus, and your pitching career.

In the moment, you might think you’re doing the right thing, but eventually you’ll come to understand what a waste of time it is trying to copy someone else.

Your battle isn’t against others. Your war is within your own heart, your mind, and your soul.

Compete against yourself and the path to your pitching dreams becomes clear.

Compete Against Yourself

The Way You Measure Your Changes Can Hold You Back!

 


If you’re like most Pitchers, you measure the changes you make to your motion by tracking your results.

Trying to improve your results by measuring your results doesn’t make sense???

A Better Measurement

Let’s work backwards into a more realistic measurement.

1. Improved results come from your lower body sending your pitch into your target.

2. To get your lower body to pull your throwing arm into release, your lower body must rotate into the end of your stride.

3. To end your stride with a lower body rotation, you must come out of your front leg lift opening your front shoulder to your target.

4. To open your front shoulder out of your front leg lift, you must end your front leg lift with your weight balanced between your knees.

Therefore, when you make your weight distribution at the top of your front leg lift your sole focus, you can count on your results to quickly and permanently improve.

Need Help with Your Results?

The Pro Pitching Institute teaches the 3 simple movements guaranteed to end your front leg lift with your weight between your knees.

The Key to Best-in-Class Pitching Results

When you swat a fly, you roll up a newspaper and “wham” the fly is history. This is your right brain reacting to the circumstance.

Once you had the newspaper in hand, your left-brain self-talk didn’t include your arm angle, your weight shift, how far you were going to step. You just swatted the fly!

The Best Pitchers Trust Their Right-Brain

During your pitching motion, the more your left-brain actions end your front leg lift with your weight centered between your knees, the more your right-brain throwing response sends your pitches into your target.

Change your right-brain responses as if they were controllable left-brain actions and you won’t see as many pitches travel into your target as you want and, in the end, might not realize your full potential.

The Fix is Simple

The art of producing best-in-class pitching results always follows the same progression.

- First, you understand how your left and right brains interact.
- Next, your left-brain actions send your right brain the appropriate messages.
- Finally, you trust your right-brain will send your pitches into your target.

Guarantee Lower Body Engagement

 

With the right preparation, your right-brain turns your lower body involvement into a foregone conclusion, gets your pitches to travel directly into your target, and challenges the best trained Hitters to make solid contact with any pitch you throw.

Lower Body Engagement is Instinctive

Your right-side brain.

  • Your right-side brain uses your left-brain driven front leg lift to determine how you end your stride.
  • Your right-brain reacts and is the more athletic side of your brain.

Your left-side brain.

  • Your left brain controls your movements into your front leg lift.
  • Your left-side brain acts and is not nearly as athletic as your right-side brain.

Properly synchronize your left and right-side brains and you give yourself everything needed to engage your lower body.

Your front leg lift determines your lower body engagement.

Lower Body Engagement: When you end your front leg lift with your weight centered between your knees, your right-side brain uses your lower body to send your pitches directly into your target.

Searching for Lower Body Engagement; When you end your front leg lift with your weight over or well in front of your back foot, you’re forced to make the split-second, neurologically impossible arm slot adjustments that you hope are good enough to send your pitches directly into your target.

Cater to Your Right-Side Brain

Well-planned left-brain actions into your front leg lift forces your right-brain to use your lower body to get your pitches to travel directly into your target. Do this and you find yourself challenging the best trained Hitters to make solid contact with any pitch you throw.

Your Inner Ear Determines Your Pitching Results

 

Pro Pitching Institute

Your inner ear doesn’t care about your results.  It only cares about your balance.

Your inner ear constantly monitors your balance, continually sends your brain balance updates, and, to make sure you stay in balance, lets your mind commandeer your body parts.

Your inner ear turns pitching into a very black and white activity.

One choice is your inner ear realizes your body is in balance. In this instance, your inner ear frees your throwing arm to automatically send your pitches directly into your target.

The other choice is that your inner ear senses an imbalance. In this case, your inner ear  uses your throwing arm to keep your body in balance and, because your inner ear took control of your arm path, you never know with any certainty where any one pitch will end up.

With a focus on how your movements impact your inner ear, you develop a sustainable roadmap to pitching success.

There IS no middle ground.

Your movements either maintain your balance or create an imbalance. There is no middle ground.

This tells you there’s one, and only one, movement pattern that’ll get your inner ear to deliver your pitches where you want.

Control Your Inner Ear.

When your pitches regularly miss your target by an unacceptable distance, your inner ear is using your throwing arm for balance.

Unlike any pitching program anywhere, by helping you manage the signals your movements send to your inner ear, we guarantee you’ll produce the results you need to fulfill your wildest pitching dreams.
