You are only as efficient as your worst movement. Following the National Pitching Association's guidelines for optimal pitching mechanics, health and performance, JA Pitching will analyze your pitching mechanics and provide feedback on all the critical variables to pitching success. You will then be given instruction and drills to help correct the first inefficiency in your sequence. (This is a fully virtual service and you do not need to be local to Broomall, PA to take advantage of this opportunity)
Step 1
You will be sent an invitation for the "On Form" app that you will used to record videos of you our your athlete pitching. Be sure to include a side angle (3 pitches facing in toward chest of pitcher) and a front angle (3 pitches straight in front). Your video must have the entire body within the screen during your entire pitching motion. (see example of angles below)
Step 3
After understanding all inefficiencies in the delivery and answering all relevant questions, we will discuss which inefficiency or inefficiencies to address first and through the OnForm app, you will be provided with drills and/or exercises to begin to address that (or those) inefficiencies. Between sessions, you will be able to use the OnForm app to share videos to ensure drills/exercises are being executed correctly.
Step 2
I will provide you a Zoom link in advance of our first session, and I will share the videos of the athlete on the Zoom call. We will talk through the National Pitching Association's 9 critical variables in the pitching delivery and then walk through the athlete's delivery in comparison and highlight any inefficiencies in the delivery.
Step 4
Take the feedback on drills and exercises provided and continue your journey to a more efficient pitching delivery that will help keep your arm healthy while throwing more strikes with more velocity. We will continue the process in future sessions to get continually improved your mechanical efficiency while answering any pitching questions you have in our conversations to help your pitcher perform his/her best.
Videos to show appropriate angles needed to send for proper mechanics analysis. You will need to send 3 pitches from each of these angles.
