Got an athlete who gets into early hip ext. and struggles to activate his glutes while going down the mound? Add “Janitor” throws to his programming. It starts the athlete in a hinge and allows them to feel the difference between quad & glute activation

We have been working on developing finger strength with our pitchers for the last few weeks with the goal of increasing spin rate on fastballs & breaking balls. I got really interested in how rock climbers train to build finger strength and I found Dr. Eva Lopez and her work

Experimented throwing plyos from 60ft 6in for the first time today. Really liked what I saw with it. Here the athlete is demonstrating a walking windup at 90%. He PR’d on every plyo despite being at sub-maximal intent

This pre-throwing patterning is called “standing hip/shoulder separation” The purpose behind this is for the athlete to feel his hips rotating separately from his shoulders. The the back knee drives down putting the hip into ER instead of extending out

I really like taking the shoe off the foot of my back leg when performing pre-throwing movement patterning. Stroke victims learn to walk again bare foot in order to maximize info sent to the brain from the feet. This builds proprioception in the athlete’s foot.

Love this video of @LGio27 here. His forearm is supinated at separation allowing him to get into great horizontal shoulder abduction (scap retraction) thus allowing him to create a large degree of external rotation of the shoulder (layback) as he gets into the Driveline phase

DrivelineEdge pitch comparison tool helps demonstrate to athletes the importance of spin direction & how it affects movement. Two identical CHs thrown at different spin directions. The CH thrown at 2:00 kills lift because it has more sidespin than backspin

Another way to achieve the purpose of activating the glutes is performing the “kneeling hip extension” I do not like this one as much just bc it takes out the feet which I believe is one of the most important links in chain bc it’s where it all starts

A few points I want to make when using the belt is 1. I prefer to super set throws with and without the belt 2. I perform all of my plyo drills off of a mound. I believe throwing from a slope is the fastest way to transition more efficient movement patterns to the game mound

It’s important for your athletes to feel it in their glutes and NOT their quads It starts at the beginning of the chain, the FEET. A cue I use is to “screw” your feet into the ground and “squeeze” the glutes when coming up like in a good squat while keeping knees slightly bent
