Throwing Program
Overview
I created this program in 2019 to establish a velocity training program for our athletes in the summer months of May-August. Throughout my experiences in the program we have found high levels of success in our athletes who train within this program over the summer. This program often entails 6 day practice/workout weeks but has seen promising results who take the program the most serious and put in greater effort and commitment.
Breakdown of the Program
This program is broken down into several portions that all complement velocity training for each athlete. 3 times a week the athletes will throw long toss with bullpen sessions to work on mechanical opportunities. These athletes will also lift and do yoga 3 times a week to work on strength, flexibility, balance, and rotational power to help complement our throwing sessions. Our athletes are also encouraged and given eating, drinking, and sleeping recommendations to help their bodies recover from long and intense training sessions.
Injury Prevention
Even with our athletes throwing 3x/week, lifting 3x/week, stretching 3x/week, and all of the games they are already playing throughout the summer - we have yet to have seen any semi-major or major injuries from our training. This is greatly due to our outstanding arm care routine that all of our athletes follow. By getting our athletes on a consistent post-throwing routine while also strengthening their shoulder and deceleration muscles we have found a "remedy" for pitcher's health while on a semi-intense workload.
Results
In a 3 year span this program has trained over 75 athletes with an average velocity increase of +3.14mph, with increases as high as up to +9 mph and pull-downs as recorded as fast as 89mph.
