Ethan has been working towards this as part of his hire at Top Pick for a few months now. In addition to the online training he had to go through live training too in order to gain certification. Ethan will be using his new certification to lead several Top Pick training camps!
Officially certified by

for the Foundations of Pitching course.
I really learned a lot about how the body should move during the pitch delivery, drills to help with the timing, and how to help athletes produce the best physical results.
