This one’s personal. I’m breaking down my own throwback mechanics from my pro ball career and the mistakes that cost me years of development.

From being drafted in 2010… to getting released in 2014… to reinventing myself in the bullpen… I learned the hard way that:
 • Velocity is a choice — you throw hard by training to throw hard
 • Your environment dictates how your body organizes
 • Athleticism is more important than robotic mechanics
 • The mental approach you take into every throw will shape your movements
 • Skipping the adaptation phase is what leads to injury

If you’re a pitcher who’s struggling with mechanics, command, or velocity… this episode is going to hit home. My journey had a lot of failures, but now I use those lessons to help guys like YOU avoid the same mistakes.

What you’re thinking impacts the way your body is going to move in an effort to complete the task at hand.. something I learned the HARD WAY and I know a lot of us ball players struggle with..

For me I struggled sooo hard trying to get the ball to move and NOT THROW BALLS that I forgot my body is the most adaptable thing on this planet n it knows how to get the job done IF I’d just get out of my own frickin way lol

That’s why I’m such an advocate for training in environments that DEMAND athleticism/freedom/power and FLOWWW 🌊

Want to throw hard - Throw HARD

Think aggressive - be aggressive

Think passive - be passive

Simplicity is the gateway to athleticism 

When I finally found my groove in 2015 I realized I could literally think “throw it as hard as I frickin can” and it’d actually go where I wanted it to go because I was just FLOWING bruh.. I also intentionally trained my body to adapt to the movements of high velocity demands in my preparation (long toss, pulldowns, and high intent catch plays)
