The Two Missing Ingredients In Your Pitching Development Program
The vast majority of all pitching development programs lack two essential ingredients; proper sequencing and proper recovery.These missing ingredients have nothing to do with acknowledging that these two ingredients are important but more so with the complexity and lack of understanding about the vital role sequencing and recovery play on the human body.
Luckily, I had the fortunate ability to sit down and interview one of the greatest minds and world leaders in understanding the role sequencing and function play on the human body. Meet Dr. Gary Gray, “father of function”, and CEO of Gray Institute. Gary’s ability to understand Human Biomechanics and look at the body as a chain reaction launched the second to none Gray Institute. He pioneered and developed Applied Functional Science, which focuses on how the body moves and focuses on practical movements that the body makes in real life. Applied Functional Science can be applied to the entire movement and sports industry. The Gray Institute is a world leader and foremost authority on the critical role function plays in our lives.
In my opinion, my interview with Dr. Gray is one of the most important videos you can watch on pitching, especially in light of the current cycle of pitching injuries in today’s culture. The video above highlights various topics that can help navigate a pitcher to find long term success.
Topics Covered:
The current issues in baseball affecting a player’s function.
Function: The bridge to connect all programs.
What is happening in the muscles when they recover?
Mobility and Flexibility: The cornerstone of a fitness program, without we can’t have strength.
Bio-mechancial Sequencing: The role a pitcher’s bio-mechancial sequence plays on recovery and function.
Defining a pitcher’s success. How do we measure?
I hope you enjoy the interview and begin to ask yourself questions about your pitching development program. Our primary goal was to provide information to help guide you down your path of success.
