I’m brutally honest with guys that don’t want coaching. Because I have FULL CONVICTION in my ability to get results. I use the same app interfaces and programming style as the ones I give to my athletes. The backbone of my brand is practicing what I preach.

Individualized task accomplishment is getting lost because of social media. Over consumers can’t think for themselves or even have the chance at solving an issue through their own discovery. Too much info coming in. Not enough self reflection or experimentation.

Arm first, then gloveside. A lot of early torso rotation cases can be solved by anchoring the gloveside into a closed position. Then, when the lead leg lands that same arm pulls the trigger for the upper half. Delay firing the gun, increase Velo and ease of cheese.

Being a “plus sized” yet elite athlete is fun and cool UNTIL injuries hit. Many of these types can display physical prowess until the excess weight takes too much of a toll on the system. They get injured and their recovery time is double what a player of a manageable body

You’re not allowed to use the terms “leg drive” or “hip rotation” until you max out the adductor machine for reps. Simple game, simple rules.

You don’t need to be Sean Doolittle or Tommy Kahnle throwing one pitch 90% of the time… but a pitch that performs well won’t perform if it’s not THROWN. DON’T BE AFRAID TO SHAKE.

a few things I look for with an efficient arm action: -does it capture energy through the swing and allow for the arm to rebound through flip up into acceleration? -does it feel comfortable to the athlete? -is it repeatable and allow for consistent results with various pitches

I’m in a constant battle trying to become “that f’kin guy” It’s a never ending pursuit. It eats at me daily. Good is never enough. The work is never finished. It’s the thing I’m most grateful for and also my Achilles heel. I can only hope to one day find satisfaction.

Most guys treat their bodies like rental cars until they HAVE to start caring. You know what I'm talking about... The absolute WEAPONS who: -Crush a 20-piece nugget with large fries pre-game -Slam 3 energy drinks to "get going" -Think recovery is taking an ice bath once a

Im lucky man. I got my pops. And I know a lot of friends that don’t. Doesn’t always mean they’re not alive. Or maybe they don’t know. It’s been that long. Maybe they see them once every few years. Or don’t know when they will. If ever. But there are some that will never

Sometimes the last thing I want to do is drive to the park, set up the block, risk my back windshield and shoot. I rarely want to roll out of a warm bed to go lift in a commercial gym where the playlist sucks. If it’s the last thing you want to do, it’s the first thing you

Ten Toes > Pivot Picks (In my personal opinion. Though I know Peter Bayer has something to say about it) Pivot Picks CAN be a super useful drill to feel how energy should work through the throw from the lower half up. The problem is MANY guys do it incorrectly in a way that

Your end result doesn’t give a damn about the science. Point to any study, research paper or beta test and apply it to yourself. Works? Cool. Doesn’t? Who cares. The results are the only thing that matters. Be your own case study.
