Your Pitching Performances Follow Your Balance.

 

Balance measures performance.

While other measurements tell you what to improve, balance tells you how you can improve.

Your pitch location follows the size of your release window, and your release window is driven by how much your body needs your throwing arm to offset the weight shifts your movements create.

Balance tells you about your motion.

Balance supplies the raw data needed to dissect your performances, and, when used to identify your most relevant movement patterns, tells you where and when to adjust your actions.

Properly apply these adjustments and you instantly free your throwing arm to send your pitches directly into your receiver’s target.

Balance forces you to go beyond mechanics.

When you use balance to produce pitch location, your less intangible success markers fall into place.

Balance forces you to take into consideration ...
- Environmental concerns, conscious controls, and the basic nature of your pitching motion.
- Physiological, biological and neurological processes
- Beliefs, values, standards, and expectations.
- Mental strengths and weaknesses.

There’s no other measurement that goes as far as balance!

Balance is the ONLY yardstick that wraps every success measurement into a neat, well-ordered package.

Lower Body Dominance Requires a Balanced Stride

 

What’s the difference between balanced/out-of-balance strides?

The difference is your weight distribution as you begin your stride.

An out-of-balance stride begins with your weight centered over or in front of your back foot.

On the other hand, a balanced stride begins with your weight centered just in front of your back foot.

How is a balanced stride important to lower body domination?

When you begin your stride with your weight centered over or in front of your back foot, you force your body to move down the mound with your hips under your shoulders.

However, begin your stride with your weight centered in front of your back foot, your body lands your stride with your lower body pulling your upper body into release.

You see the difference in your results.

With an out-of-balance stride, you throw the ball toward your target, and never really know where any single pitch will end up.

Yet, with a balanced stride, your lower body-driven pitches keep hitters from reaching base with uncanny regularity.

Need a balanced stride?

Only Coach Skip can teach you how to end your front leg lift with your weight centered in front of your back foot.

Automate Your Lower Body Engagement

Getting your lower body to drive your results start with and end with your back knee position at the top of your front leg lift. 

Back Knee Over Your Back Foot

End your front leg lift with your back knee over your back foot, your weight teeters over your back foot and, to move down the mound, you’re forced to stride.

The instant you stride your mind uses your throwing arm to offset the weight shift your stride creates.

 Using your throwing arm for balance prohibits any lower body engagement and creates the chaos that makes locating your pitches a daily challenge. 

Back Knee Behind Your Back Foot

End your starting position with your back knee behind your back foot, your motion begins with your weight balanced between your knees and your throwing arm free to react to your lower body.

Your transition from your load to your stride opens your lower body and, to regain your balance, forces you to complete your pitching motion.

When you trust your body to work the way it’s intended, you automate your pitching motion, and expect your pitch location to challenge every hitter you face.

Help is here

Beginning your motion with your back knee behind your back foot isn’t as straight forward as it seems.

Pitch Location is Basic Math.

 

Do the Math

Like a math equation, the sum of your mechanics equals your pitch location.

Anytime you attempt to change a mechanic without considering its impact on the entire equation, your formula for pitching success is out of balance, and your pitch location suffers.

Sequencing Matters

Besides keeping your equation in balance, to maintain your pitch location, you must also consider the sequence of your actions.

One misplaced movement, and your equation falls apart, or, in pitching terms, you miss your intended target more often than is healthy for your pitching career. 

Take Your Pitching Career to Heights Unknown.

Coach Skip is the leading authority in developing very personal and extremely dependable pitch location algorithms.

Once you ask him to balance your equation, you can expect your movements to fall into a productive sequence, and your pitches travel into your intended target with uncanny regularity.

Want the sustainable pitch location needed to achieve your pitching dreams? Coach Skip is waiting for your call.

A 3x3 Rubik’s Cube Delivers a Genuine Pitching Process

 

You’re handed a 3x3 Rubik’s Cube to solve.

If you’re like most people, you solve a 3x3 Rubik’s Cube by deciding which row to turn or which column to twist. This random process continues until you solve the cube or give up.

There’s another more reliable, extremely automatic, and very foolproof way to solve your cube. This process follows a simple algorithm, makes 18 twists/turns in a prescribed order, and turns the cube’s sides into solid colors.

This Rubik’s Cube progression leads to a functional pitching process.

Just like the Rubik’s Cube, the most common path to pitch location is to continually analyze your motion and make adjustments. All the while hoping your pitch location remains competitive enough to challenge the hitters you face.

Just the way the Rubik’s Cube algorithm controls the cube’s solution, your brain is hardwired to control your pitch location.

Fortunately, Coach Skip teaches 6 easily executed actions that, in a well-defined order, automatically, repeatedly, and spontaneously locate your pitches. Armed with Coach Skip’s proprietary pitching process, you can expect your pitch location to clear a path to your pitching dreams.

Proof: Starting Positions Determine Pitch Location

 

As Water Flows …

When you start with the same amount of water in a bucket and use the same force to pour the water down an incline, gravity will produce the same shaped puddle every time.

 Every time the amount of water or its force down the incline changes, gravity alters the water’s flow, and the shape of the final puddle as well.

 … Your Pitching Motion Also Flows.

Think of …

• Your starting position as a bucket of water before you pour it down the incline,
• Your mechanics as the way gravity ends the water down the incline, and
• Your pitch location is the puddle.

 When you relate the water’s flow to your pitching motion, even the slightest change to your starting position or your stride tempo hurts your pitch location.

 You constantly change your starting position and gravity not only changes your mechanics but alters your pitch location.

Improved Pitch Location

You produce the same starting position, come out of it in the same way, and your pitch location becomes unbelievably consistent.

However, when you end your starting position with your weight balanced over your back foot, your body wobbles, and your pitch location becomes much less predictable.

Want a more stable starting position and better pitch location? Contact Coach Skip.

Trust Your Body to Locate Your Pitches

 

Trust means you make the same actions, and you have the faith that your body will react in the same way all the time.

Pitch Location is Built Around Trust

Pitchers who end their stride with their hips and shoulders at different angles can trust their body will send their pitches directly into their intended target.

These pitchers trust their pitch location to keep most hitters off the base paths.

Misplaced Trust

Because most Pitchers end their stride with your front shoulder closed to their target,  more hitters reach base than need be.

If you’re one of these Pitchers, you’re satisfied with merely getting your pitches into the strike zone.

However, until you learn to end your stride with your shoulders/hips at different angles, you can’t totally trust your pitch location.

Build Trust

To elevate your game, change your focus from landing your stride with a closed front shoulder to ending your stride with a hip/shoulder separation.

Make this transition and you can trust your body to use your pitch location to keep many more hitters off base.

Hip/shoulder separation takes 10 minutes or less to teach, is permanent, is repeatable and begins with the FREE pitch location tips Coach Skip presents on his website.
