Lessons
Lessons will consist of helping you analyze your delivery, and will get you on the right track to great mechanics. Holding runners and pick off moves will also be addressed during instruction.
Video analysis will be available on a high speed camera. This type of analysis is recommended for the purpose of knowing and understanding the 8 phases of delivery. Video analysis has proven to be highly effective and is now a vital part of pitching instruction. Studies show that visual feed back is essential in helping students comprehend material that is presented to them.
I strive to stay informed on the latest physiological and technical information and research. Parents are always welcome.
