Throwing & Lifting Philosophy
Throwing & Lifting Philosophy
My approach is rooted in the principles of science-driven training, individualized progression, and the development of sustainable performance. Our throwing and lifting philosophy emphasizes:
-
Individualization and Athlete Assessment
Every athlete has unique physical strengths, weaknesses, and movement patterns. Through comprehensive assessments, we establish individualized programs that target specific needs, ensuring every athlete builds a foundation for long-term development and injury prevention. -
Balanced Strength and Power Development
We believe in building strength, power, and speed in balance with mobility, stability, and coordination. Our lifting protocols are designed not only to enhance force production but to promote overall athleticism, reduce injury risk, and support the explosive demands of pitching. -
Integrated Throwing Mechanics and Kinetics
Our throwing program combines principles with a focus on healthy arm action, efficient energy transfer, and optimized delivery mechanics. We prioritize teaching proper sequencing and mechanics, allowing pitchers to maximize velocity and control while minimizing stress on the arm. -
Progressive Overload and Recovery
Training gains are best achieved through carefully structured progressive overload and strategic recovery. By incorporating cyclical periodization, we ensure that athletes build consistent power without overloading their joints and muscles. Recovery phases are integrated to allow for adaptation and long-term sustainability. -
Holistic Approach to Athlete Health
In addition to strength and skill, we place a strong emphasis on sleep, nutrition, and mental focus as pillars of success. Athletes are educated on these fundamentals to ensure that their body and mind are primed for optimal performance on the field.
