The more and more I meet new young athletes, the more I believe it is essential for parents to find someone, other than their parents, who will influence them, in a positive way, to work hard to achieve a goal. Doesn’t matter what kind of coach, tutor, mentor.

Implemented the 1-10 a long time ago. Kids will say anything to be able to play!!
Ask an athlete if they’re happy or if their arm feels good to go, and they will say “yeah.”
Instead, ask them to give a number on a scale of 1-10. You’ll learn far more about how they’re actually doing.

As the high school baseball season starts to get going, especially with all the cancelled games, be sure to keep in mind, pro pitchers don’t throw in multiple games, innings, etc in one week. If a pro isn’t expected to be able to handle that workload, should a HS player?

There are no games between the ages of 8-16 years old worth hurting your arm over.
No tournament…
Championship…
Tryout…
Showcase…
If your fatigued, sore, tired, pushing thru all of these regularly will significantly increase the chances of getting injured.

If you are committed, what is the thought process behind going to showcases?
You already got the “exposure” you needed to get committed?
Slight tangent, exposure doesn’t get the commitment. Being good gets the commitment, just had to throw that out there.

Soft tissue injuries like a strained hamstring or hip flexor are almost always categorized as an injury.
Why doesn’t the same apply to the bicep and tricep of the throwing arm?

The back leg being forced to internally rotate was something I used to coach.
It is something that is currently being taught, ESPECIALLY TO SOFTBALL PLAYERS…
Softball players tend to have less rear hip external rotation so they will internally rotate sooner during the throw
Making sense of the lower half: A demo🧐
-The back leg doesn't actively slam into IR
-The lead leg doesn't actively extend
-Pelvic rotation brings the back leg through
-Pelvic rotation pulls the lead leg into extension
The feet are anchors
The pelvis is the driver of rotation

Say this all the time! Bat = $300. Glove = $200. Cleats = $150. Batting gloves = $100. That $750 dollars doesn’t make you 1 cent better!!!!
I’ve been seeing a lot of pictures of parents showcasing new bats, gloves, etc they bought for their kids. If they’d have spent half that much on training, their kid would actually be better.

There is a big difference between strength training with perfect form vs. strength training just to get it done. Many times strength training just to “get it done” are workouts forced on a player rather than them choosing to do it themselves.

I find it funny it took a study to figure this out. 90-100 pitches in game is easily 180-200 total on the day. Plus stick them at SS or CF after they are done throwing.
A high school pitcher's workload isn't limited to in-game pitch counts. A new study looks at how a more comprehensive picture of a player's throws will only help to prevent injuries in these young athletes:
