(injury, which I do my best to help you avoid)
But, on my path I have figured out a couple things...
1. I REALLY LOVE coaching. I've learned that someday, whether it's after a long professional pitching career or in a couple years, I am going to coach, expand my online training academy along with an in-person training center.
I love coaching because I love helping people experience the things I have and overcome the problems I overcame (hopefully faster and easier than I did).
The other thing I learned the last couple years coaching is...
2. There's a huge benefit of me teaching other players NOW... while I'm still playing and learning.
Because I KNOW what you're going through, what you're struggling with... the physical, the mental, all of it.
And, it's REAL to me TODAY.
That's a lot different from trying to remember what it's like 5-10-30 years from now!
Have you ever felt like your coaches couldn't relate? (Or, worse... not care to?)
I lived it in the last couple years so I can tell you things other coaches can't.
It was in learning those things...
that I decided to teach pitchers what I learned in my journey from throwing 82mph to throwing 97mph.
This matters to me because I was just like you a couple short years ago.
And I want you to be where I am...
Oh, and know that it's not your fault you haven't made it yet.
You just aren't doing the right things, yet. I wasn't either.
You're gonna follow the same path I did (but better)...
...so you can prove everyone wrong and KNOW YOU are as good as you think you are.
