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.

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.

Simplicity within the Complexity

To truly measure your improvement, count your ratio of pitches that finish outside your catcher's body compared to your total number of pitches thrown.

Measuring the number of times you miss your target outside your catcher's body tells you...

1. Whether your throwing arm balance is controlling you or a totally spontaneous throwing (re)action manages your results and

2. Whether you use your eyes to find your target area or  to fine tune your location within your target area.

The critical driver for your success is consistently delivering your pitches to within inches of your target.

Best - By keeping your hip level at the top of your front leg lift, you consistently deliver every pitch within your catcher's body.
Better- Even though your throwing arm balance controls your movements, your well-developed eye-to-hand coordination produce acceptable results.  (Unfortunately, eye-to-hand coordination is not a teachable skill.)
Ordinary - Your throwing arm balance takes over your movements and you possess minimal eye-to-hand coordination.

Using your results as your critical driver tells you what you need to address to guarantee success.

Should you struggle with your ratio of worst misses against total pitches thrown, contact me.

Want to be ordinary... then focus on your velocity.

Without any consideration for pitch location, the pitching culture urges you to maximize your velocity.  Most pitchers, unfortunately, make this theirfocus.

Velocity with location comes from …

o Using your footwork to keep your hips level.

o Using your entire body to enhance your velocity.

o Throwing through a naturally productive arm slot.

o Using your eyes to fine tune your location within your target area.

o Continually moving through a Tommy John resistant delivery.

o Knowing your combined velocity and location lets your immediately compete at the next level.

o Always keeping your opponent off balance.

o Elevating your performances way above ordinary.

o Relies on a very repeatable execution.

o  Knowing you're going to dominate.

Velocity without location comes from a casual approach to your footwork.  You ...

o   Let you footwork use your throwing arm for balance.

o   Use your upper body to create your velocity.

o Throw through a naturally unproductive arm slot.

o Use your eyes to find your target area.

o   Become an extreme risk for a Tommy John breakdown.

o Hope your velocity is enough to get you noticed.

o Never fool a patient hitter who waits for your next pitch to miss over the plate.

o Compete against every other pitcher who's velocity driven, but not against pitchers with fastball command.

o Rely on eye-to-hand coordination for your survival.

o Hope you do well.

Instead of working on your velocity, you realistically have a better chance of reaching the highest levels by, instead of your footwork managing you, managing your footwork.

Want to reach the highest levels? … ask me to help you!

In-person instruction from hundreds of miles away.

Why a video-streamed bullpen session works?

Your body responds to your actions in extremely predictable action/reaction patterns.  I've trained myself to recognize your predictable action/reaction patterns and, better yet, know the subtle action adjustments proven to constructively change your current reaction pattern.

When I look at your action/reaction patterns, I know the solution to using less effort to produce better results lies within your footwork.

During your first couple of motions, depending upon what you show me, I may ask you to make a slight adjustments to your foot placements.

Next, I look to make sure your front foot lift keeps your hips level.

As soon as I'm satisfied with your front leg lift, I let you make your current throwing action.

As in all naturally productive, totally spontaneous and Tommy John resistant throwing reactions, your pitching process produces your sustainable fastball command.

That's all there to it! 

By adjusting your footwork, I’ll give you more control over your movements.

Every one of your follow-up sessions refines and reinforces the skills presented in your previous sessions.

Within a short time, you'll find your footwork producing the sustainable fastball command you always dreamed about.

No matter your skill level, contact me to use your footwork to have next level coaches notice your extremely efficient and totally fluid pitching actions.

How do you use your eyes?

When you keep your hips level at the top of your front leg lift, your lower body delivers your pitches into your target area and you use your eyes to fine tune your location within your target area.

•  Your pinpoint location allows you to do something only a few pitchers can do... follow your team's pitching strategy.

By doing so, you become an bigger asset to your team than pitchers whose footwork forces them to use their throwing arm for balance.

When you use your throwing arm for balance, you use your eye-to-hand coordination to try an "feel" your target area.

•  By letting your footwork force you to use your throwing arm for balance, you use a process of trial and error to find a "feel" that consistently lands your next pitch close your target.

You inability to execute your team's pitching strategy gives you less worth to your team than pitchers who know how to follow their Team's strategy.

To find out how you can use your eyes to fine tune your results, contact me.
