The Training Advantage

Do You Want to:

Reduce your chance of injury?
Improve accuracy?

    Enhance your performance on the pitchers mound!  This 2-DVD set of more than two and a half hours contains a complete conditioning program designed specifically for pitchers that will increase strength, stability and functionality.  Learn over 75 exercises to increase speed and accuracy and reduce the risk of injury.  Exercise demonstrations, modifications and progressions are outlined in detail to help athletes of every level enhance their performance.

    In short, “Conditioning Program for Pitchers” is specifically intended to help enhance the performance of throwing athletes.  This program specifically focuses on improving functional strength.  All movements have been carefully selected from thousands of possibilities to aid in the development of all throwing athletes, regardless of your experience or physical development.  The majority of movements are multi-planar, multi-joint, proprioceptively enriched and sport-specific. The number one goal of this program is to prevent injury and help produce optimal athletic success in a fun environment.  As with any conditioning program, the more specifically tailored it is for an athlete, the better.

   It is important to understand that the type of movements featured in these DVDs primarily stimulate the nervous system.  They are functional, sport-specific movements.  Most of the featured movements are multi-planar (3-Dimensional), ground-based and highly integrated.  Maximal strength is not necessary for many sports.  You need to keep in mind that during functional activities you may only use 45 – 50% of your maximal strength. Many traditional forms of conditioning emphasize force production.  Body building exercises emphasize one plane of movement (typically the sagittal plane) and usually isolate a muscle with emphasis on developing muscle hypertrophy (muscle growth).  You will not find traditional body building exercises in this program, all exercises are specific to pitching.
