Are you aiming to improve Pitch Efficiency, Gain Velocity & Reduce your risk of injury? This routine will help you achieve your aim!
This is a Pre-Throw Routine intended to be completed before every Live Day, Pen Day and/or Higher Intent Throwing Day within your throwing program.
The selected movements focus on 5 phases of the throw: Loading, Cocking/Stride, Acceleration, Deceleration & Follow-Thru.
Within the routines, the biomechanical focus will be centered around creating space and holding tension within the hip, creating separation of hips & shoulders, improving T-spine extension & shoulder external rotation as well as a stable base of support at foot touch for effective lead leg block.
In this program, there are THREE, routines (2 Weeks Each) to get you started. But is also adaptable as you can extend each routine out for as long as you'd like, or mix and match exercises.
As a bonus, there is an On-Field Dynamic Warm-up included that you can follow prior to beginning your Pre-Throw Routine. ADDITIONALLY, there are Med Ball Drills to be completed following your Pre-Throwing Routine to "feel"/cement new found ability & potentiate going into your throwing session.
This program is written to remove the fluff and provide you with a streamlined approach to get into the proper shapes to do your job efficiently and to be more effective for your team!
