Description

In this episode, I dive into a powerful yet often overlooked method for improving throwing performance: strengthening the brain-muscle connection. By improving how your nervous system communicates with your muscles, you can throw with more velocity and less pain. I break down how this connection works, why it matters for throwers, and specific strategies to help you train it effectively.

โ€ข What the brain-muscle connection is and how it affects throwing

โ€ข How to activate the right muscles at the right time

โ€ข Drills and cues to improve efficiency, control, and power
