Best ⚾ Pitcher Mobility Drill A common problem for baseball pitchers is the gradual tightness and loss of ROM in the shoulder over the course of the game and season. The goal is to restore mobility BEFORE your athlete picks up a ball and then maintain it. Try the...

Sitting on the ground more is one of the simplest things you can do for long-term mobility. It sounds almost too basic, but getting down to the floor and back up is a real marker of independence. If you lose that ability, a lot of everyday function starts to go with it. Sit with your legs straight out. Sit cross-legged. Kneel. Shift around. These positions gently restore hip rotation, ankle mobility, and the ability to move your body in and out of different shapes. This kind of low-level, daily movement practice helps maintain better joint mechanics, and according to Kelly Starrett, it might be one reason why "floor cultures" such as those in Asia often preserve mobility longer and have fewer problems related to stiffness and loss of function. From the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast.

The rotator cuff consists of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. These originate on your scapula, or shoulder blade, and insert on different parts of your humerus, or upper arm. As a whole, they provide dynamic stability to the shoulder joint, while individually, they assist with various shoulder movements, including abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. Since these muscles contribute to multiple shoulder movements along with other muscles, you really cannot isolate the rotator cuff. Even with external rotation, which is performed mostly by the infraspinatus and teres minor, you will receive some assistance from the posterior deltoid. Therefore, in order to maximize rotator cuff strength, our recommendation would be to focus on a comprehensive program. This will better prepare you for a wide variety of tasks and activities involving the shoulder. To demonstrate what we mean, let’s consider the biceps. If you perform pull ups and rows, these exercises will secondarily work the biceps. However, if your goal was to maximize strength and hypertrophy of the biceps, you would also incorporate isolation exercises, like a biceps curl. The rotator cuff is no different. Compound pushing and pulling exercises at various angles will challenge the rotator cuff, but if you want to train your shoulders to their full potential, a comprehensive program that also includes isolation exercises in different directions will likely be the most optimal. These are just SOME external rotation strengthening options. Learn more:

It really is this simple. Yes or no… Do you want to be fully mobile into your 50s and beyond? It doesn’t matter if you enjoy the work. Anything of value requires investment. And here’s the part you fitness bros don’t want to hear: Lifting ain’t it. Loss of strength isn’t what makes your body old, it’s loss of mobility. In fact, too much strength/mass is detrimental to longevity. Just look around—the fittest, most physically capable people in their 50s and beyond aren’t meatheads. You want to be lean, mobile, and strong *enough*. 🪛Maintaining range of motion and healthy spine/joints should be the #1 priority—and the older you get the more you need to “tighten the screws”. That’s why highly varied, functional sports like climbing, jiu-jitsu, and surfing are the best forms of exercise. They hit all the dimensions of fitness, including mind-body connection, which is crucial for brain health and longevity. Start with a 3-minute deep squat each morning. The deep squat is called “the anti-aging exercise”—it’s one movement that builds strength and mobility in your ankles, knees, hips and lower back. 3 minutes a day now, or a lifetime of pain and limitations later.

This is THE elite exercise for hip mobility: (Especially if you sit at a desk all day) It’s called 90/90 It’s my all time favorite mobility drill for internal and external rotation of the hip Sit on the ground with both legs at 90° (This alone may already be a good stretch for you) Then begin to lean forward to deepen the stretch Key here is actively pressing your front knee and ankle into the ground while simultaneously raising your back ankle off the ground Hold in that active stretch for a slow 5 seconds then release That is one rep Repeat 5-10 reps each side

In the 3 years since I severely herniated a disc at L5/S1, I’ve tried everything under the sun to rehab and prevent reinjury. If I had to recommend just one exercise, it would be this one. It’s the single best exercise for strengthening the posterior chain and the intricate scaffold of muscles that support the spine. It’s a $100 piece of equipment (link in the comments below). Start with static holds and work your way up to 2 minutes. Then start moving as shown below and work your way up to 3 sets of 30. Then you can do more advanced things like added weight and one-leg static holds. A 3-minute deep squat each morning plus this exercise 2-3 times a week plus hanging knee lifts is a great basic back mobility program. If you want to go deeper, check out my full back program in the comments below.

Navy Transition Drill -Improve Offense, Defense, Decision-Making, and TOUGHNESS! Check out the 5 Benefits from Coach Nate Steege’s great practice drill: ("REPLY" below if you'd like a FREE PDF with 7 Drills For Championship Practices - which includes videos, diagrams, and instructions!) Now to the benefits… 1. Players learn to recognize advantage/disadvantage when possessing the ball and attack immediately and exploit their opponent. 2. Players get game-like reps in a drill that simulates chaotic situations that occur during the game… Rather than just 'checking it up top' 3. Defense learns how to communicate and match up in a game-like setting. 4. Develops toughness by having players hustle after the ball and whoever gets it is on offense 5. Offense learns how to space and execute in a chaotic environment

Spent this past weekend at Manhattan Baseball evaluating and helping develop player plans for every pitcher! Included in the eval was also a mobility and range of motion assessment. When creating a development plan, it’s important to have clear objectives and the “why” behind it. Ultimately, programs should be striving to improve on field performance, not just to get good at whatever the “thing” is. Goals for each player are going to be broken down into 4 main buckets: • Mechanical • Pitch Development (movement and velocity) • Pitch Execution (command) • CRG and mental side Every player will have: • Throwing plan with drill package specific to them • Bullpen plans focusing on their needs and goals • Arm care routine • Mobility program tailored towards areas needed to improve (primarily focused on spine, hips, and shoulders) • Strength program Head coach, Steven Rosen and pitching coach Will Hesslink are building something very special in NY. They want to get the most out of every single player and are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Excited to see what this year has in store for the Jaspers!

Bar hop How It’s Done Start on one side of the stick with two targets at 7-10 yards and 1 yard apart. On the beep, engage the target directly in front of you with two shots, then engage the second target with two shots. Step over the stick and reengage the first target with two shots, and then the second target with two shots again. This drill is 8 shots total, with four on each target. Why It’s Done This drill is a great way to introduce movement into your training. If you're used to static shooting, this drill would be a great one to start with. It may be just one step, but getting your feet to do what they’re supposed to while shooting is harder than it looks. This drill also includes a couple of transitions, which will easily get you some Charlies and Deltas if you’re not careful. Things to Remember The goal is to make it sound like you're shooting one target. What I mean by that is you should try to shorten the time between targets and make the flow as smooth as possible. When you start and when you finish, be sure to check your stance. You don’t want to end up off balance. Bending your knees will help soften your movement. As always, make sure you are looking at a small spot and not just the whole target. It’s one of my favorite drill to do so give it a try! Thanks sis for the drill suggestion! Hannah

Self Toss short-hop feeds drill. 1 hop and 2 hop variations. Ball hit at you, declared backhands and glove side picks. A player can get a lot of reps in a very small space. Keys: in order to be on time to the short hop, the toss can’t be too far out front, too low or too fast. You have to start low, play low and move low (with precision feet). Why? Everything happens really fast, especially 1 hop rep variation. If you are late, you get an in-between hop. Really late and/or very lazy feet … you get a big hop. We are not working fielding either of those hops in this drill. Be on time to the short hop. Another key: On ball tossed directly in front (grounder at you) it prevents exaggerated “rounding off” the ball. Not enough time before ball hits the earth and you have to be there on time to the 1” hop. This creates a much more realistic game like rep and approach to the ball. We use a line in video to show how the alignment works. Notice how he is set up with left ear near the line. He is “preset” as far off center as he would need to get on a game rep. Left ear or left shoulder is as far off center as you ever need to get to read speed and hops at ball hit right at you. (Left handed throwers are opposite ear). If you do this drill with baseballs and a target on a net, you can finish the play with a throw and follow. Really creative and you can do this same self feed drill or your own variation to work on your double play “feeds” or slow rollers. Another variation is throwing a ball off a wall. But walls are not always available. Especially when using a baseball. We are using a tennis ball in this video. Dirt Bro Baseball

Full Pre-Throwing Band Routine 💪 There are many ways to execute the arm-specific part of your warm-up. While bands are not mandatory (medballs, arm circles, indian clubs, shoulder tubes, etc. also work), if you're going to do them, take a logical approach to the routine. The goal here is not strengthening, and you shouldn't be creating fatigue. Overloaded arm care movements do have their place and can be done post-throw or worked into your weekly lifting routine. The main goals for this band routine are: 1. Drive blood flow from scaps to fingertips 2. Improved motor control/muscle activation through a full range of motion We can break this down into a few areas: 1. Fingers/wrist/forearm Both the flexor-pronator muscles that help offload torque from the UCL, as well as the extensors and supinator that help with deceleration. 2. Elbow Both the biceps and triceps, which serve deceleration and stabilization functions, respectively. 3. Scap Driving range of motion, control, and stimulating both the accelerators (pec, lat), decelerators (low/mid trap, rhomboids), and scapular stabilizers (serratus). 4. Shoulder Control and range through ER/IR, stimulating both subscap and posterior cuff while maintaining joint positioning. Check out our YouTube for a step-by-step walkthrough of the routine, along with the most common mistakes ~90% of pitchers make when executing a band routine.

Victor Wembanyama (in French) is asked what he is looking to improve on over the summer: 🇫🇷: Victor, after these Finals, what do you want to improve the most this summer? On the court or off the court, what area of improvement have you identified for yourself before next season? 👽: I'm going to work even harder, obviously, to be even more durable and, above all, to keep a fresh mind and maintain control of the game at all times. That's what really stands out about Jalen Brunson, for example. There are too many moments—and it doesn't come from bad intentions—but there are too many moments where I'm passive, where I don't have the control over the game that I'd like to have, and it ends up costing us. #GoSpursGo #PorVida

A younger guy recently asked me a really smart question: “What’s one thing you’d tell your 30-year-old self to do differently for health & longevity?” This one is a no brainer: I’d invest 5+ hours a week into MOBILITY training. In fact, I’ll take it a step further… EVERYONE—young or older—should replace most of their traditional weight training with mobility work. Stop chasing numbers, adding bulk, and risking injury! Elite mobility guys are ripped, strong as hell, and have unmatched functional fitness. More importantly they stay injury-free. So what’s mobility training? It’s exercise designed to increase: 1) Range-of-motion of joints (not the same as “flexibility”) 2) Functional strength & neuromuscular coordination 3) Skeletal stability (to repair & avoid injury) Yoga and Pilates are forms of mobility training but modern mobility training combines multiple disciplines. Just do a YouTube search and you'll find tons of videos and programs designed to address specific goals or issues (e.g. bad knees). Mobility work allowed me to avoid surgery and recover quickly from a severe back in injury in March. The video below is a basic back program that I do twice a day — it only takes 10 minutes and has been a game-changer. This is just the tip of the iceberg — I plan to go much deeper into mobility and hire a coach (if anyone knows a great one in Boulder LMK). I’m convinced that if I’d discovered mobility training when I was younger I would have avoided 20 years of chronic back issues and performed better athletically. 🤙

The 1 Drill To Meet All Your Rebounding Needs Some coaches don't believe in doing rebounding drills. They believe they can emphasize rebounding in everything they do without isolating it. I love that in theory. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked that well for me in reality. Coaches like Tom Izzo and Kelvin Sampson seem to agree. Michigan State and Houston are known for being 2 of the best rebounding teams in the country. I don't think it's a coincidence that they prioritize practicing rebounding. If you want your team to be elite on the boards, you must drill it in practice. Here's a versatile and game-like drill from 3v3 Drills For Offense & Defense with Coach Nick LoGalbo that will help your team dominate the glass. Setup: -Position 3 players around the perimeter -3 defensive players are in the paint Instructions: 1. The coach begins by throwing the ball to an offensive player. 2. All of the defenders close out. 3. The player who receives the pass shoots immediately. 4. The defenders must box out and grab the rebound. 5. Play is live until the ball is scored. The rebounding team does not have to take the ball out. Thus, if the defense does a good job boxing out and gathers the rebound close to the rim, they can immediately shoot. This continues until a basket is scored. 6. Each basket is worth 1 point. Play to 5.

5 Exercises to Lower Your 60-Yard Dash ⏰ 1. Hill Sprints Hill sprints will help you run in the correct form of acceleration and improve force application with each foot strike. 2. Flying Sprints Great drill for developing max-velocity with athletes. This drill teaches athlete to go faster and maintain maximal speed for a longer duration. 3. Heavy Sled Drags Heavy sled drags allow you to learn and practice acceleration mechanics at slower speeds. To perform this exercise properly you need to posses a good forward body lean, and maintain a positive shin angle. 4. Dynamic Skips Skips are one of the BEST ways to improve knee drive, dynamic ankle stability, arm drive, posture, ground contact time, and rhythm - many factors that contribute to fast and explosive athletes. 5. Max-Effort Sprints with Complete Recovery To run fast you need to do just that, run fast. Sprint intensity should be 95%+ on each sprint if you’re trying to get faster. Additionally, you need to be recovering fully following each sprint! Rest 60 sec. every 10 yards covered.

Dan Campbell said, "It starts over with the work. There is no complacency. There is no entitlement. We go back to work, and that is the focus. Because, if you don't work, it doesn't matter." It means doing the work. It means competing every day. How The Best Compete: 1. They outwork you - It means consistently showing up, doing the work and committing to your craft. The best in their field value the importance of hard work, going the extra mile, and continuously improving your skills. This dedication sets them apart because they grow and improve consistently. 2. They outhustle you - Hustle beats talent when talent doesn’t hustle. It means having a relentless drive and a never-give-up attitude. It's about taking advantage of every opportunity, being proactive, and staying ahead of the competition. The best understand that effort and determination can outshine natural talent when combined with hard work. 3. They outlast you - It is the principle of perseverance and resilience. Outlasting the competition means maintaining resilience and endurance over the long haul. They stay persistent, overcome obstacles, and continue to move forward when faced with seatbacks. Their steadfast mindset ensures longevity while others are filled with doubt. 4. They out-focus you - It means prioritization and focusing on what matters. It's about prioritizing your efforts and channeling your energy into what truly matters. Competing means you have a clear vision of who you are, what you want, and how you are going to get there. This level of concentration ensures that you maximize your productivity and achieve your objectives. 5. They out-adapt you - It means continuously growing, improving, and adapting. They are masters of constantly reassessing where they are, changing, and reinventing themselves. It's about finding solutions, learning from failures, and continually adjusting your strategies to stay on course. This ability to pivot and persist is crucial for long-term success. Competing every day is a mindset, not a moment. It means do the work, give your all, and never settle.

When I was in pro ball, even throwing in the mid 90s, I never did this. But I honestly think it’s one of the biggest things that’s going to help me get to 100 miles an hour. One of the most underrated ways to throw harder is to implement cross training. Now, cross training in terms of pitching just means you’ll be using something other than the baseball to throw. For example, you see Yamamoto in the big leagues right now. He attributes a lot of his velocity gains to javelin throwing, and he’s thrown the javelin for many, many years. There’s another pitcher who’s one of the best pitchers in college baseball right now in Japan who’s up to 102 miles an hour and attributes a lot of his success to throwing the volleyball and the volleyball teaching him how to move. For myself, I use a football to clean up my arm action. When you use different implements, it’ll give you a new stimulus. It can clean up a lot of the mechanics that you wouldn’t be able to with the baseball itself. For myself and my training to throw 100 miles an hour, I use all of these implements for my arm action. Now, I have a tendency of forearm flyout where my forearm flies out this way, and so I want to keep it a little bit more directed toward the plate. Some of the best ways to do this is to throw the javelin. Because to throw the javelin far, you can’t be flying out. You need to go straight through. The football as well needs to be straight through. Also, just hitting the volleyball. I love watching volleyball players hit the volleyball because the upper mechanics are so efficient. So if you feel stuck in your training, start incorporating cross training.
