When the pitch is at or near your left knee/left shin area, it is easiest and most efficient to go thumb down (back hand) and simply turn the mitt back to flat. Too many inexperienced catchers attempt to turn their mitt all the way over to a thumb up position and end up (Cont.)

Stroke hand recovery: can hand movement improve after a stroke? Yes, even months or years later. Two things matter: whether your fingers can straighten even a little, and how much you practice. Watch out for learned non-use, when the good hand quietly takes over. And if the stroke hit the hand you don't write with, that's the one to fight for. Save this and check your fingers today. #Neurointerpret #strokerecovery #strokesurvivor #handtherapy #neurologist

Chest Workout Routine To build a great chest, you need the right workout routine. This routine will help you effectively target your chest muscles and build strength and size. Warm-up (5-10 minutes) It is important to warm up before starting any workout. This prevents injury and prepares the muscles for the workout. * Light cardio (such as jumping jacks or skipping) * Dynamic stretching (such as arm circles, torso twists) Main Workout Perform the following exercises in 3-4 sets, with 8-12 repetitions in each set. Rest 60-90 seconds between each set. * Barbell Bench Press * This is one of the most effective exercises for the chest. It targets the upper, middle and lower chest muscles. * How to do: Lie on your back on a bench, feet firmly planted on the floor. Hold the barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Bring the barbell down to your chest and then push it up. * Incline Dumbbell Press * This exercise especially helps develop the upper chest muscles. * How to do: Sit on an inclined bench (about 30-45 degrees). Hold a dumbbell in each hand. Push the dumbbells up above your chest, then slowly bring them down. * Dumbbell Fly * This exercise helps stretch the chest muscles and give a deep cut. * How to do: Lie on the bench on your back, holding a dumbbell in each hand. With your arms slightly bent, stretch the dumbbells above your chest as if you were hugging someone. Slowly bring them back to the starting position. * Cable Crossover * This exercise focuses on the inner chest muscles and provides a better definition. * How to do: Stand in the middle of the cable machine. Hold a handle with each hand. Bring your arms to the front, as if you are bringing your hands together. * Push-ups * Push-ups are a great bodyweight exercise that strengthens the chest, shoulders and triceps. * How to do: Come down on your palms and toes, keeping the body straight. Lower your chest close to the ground and then push up. If normal push-ups are difficult, you can do them on your knees. Cool-down (5-10 minutes) Cooling down and stretching after a workout is important for muscle recovery. * Do static stretches of the chest, shoulders and triceps. Hold each stretch for 20-30 seconds. Important tips * Progressive overload: Slowly increase the weight or increase the number of repetitions over time so that your muscles are constantly challenged. * Correct Form: Always focus on maintaining correct form. Incorrect form can lead to injuries and muscles not being targeted properly. * Nutrition: Adequate protein and a balanced diet are important for muscle growth. * Rest: Getting enough sleep and giving your chest a rest before the next workout is essential for muscle recovery and growth. This routine can help you build a strong and well-developed chest. Remember, consistency is key to seeing results!

INFIELDER TIPS: Work from the ground up. Field the ball out front by reaching out, then softening your elbows. A simple rule: You should always be able to see the ball AND your glove in the same view. After the catch, bring the ball back to the center of your chest with your elbows out. That puts you in a strong position to transition and throw with a repeatable arm stroke. And don’t become a two-hand robot. Practice using one hand, especially on balls outside the framework of your body. Your glove hand needs freedom to work.

Teaching you How to Shoot Better 🏀 | Part 1 Before you warm up from the three-point line, get a few feet from the rim and work on your form. 1. Start close. Give yourself room to focus on the little things without having to shoot hard. 2. Check your grip. Spread your fingers and feel the ball on your fingertips, with a little space under your palm. Your guide hand goes on the side to steady the ball. 3. Hold your follow-through. Let the ball roll off your fingertips, relax your wrist, and keep your shooting hand up until the ball reaches the rim. 4. Get 3 clean swishes, then take one step back. For this drill, count the shots that go straight through the net. If your form starts changing as you back up, move closer and reset. The goal is to keep that same smooth release and follow-through as you move farther out. And remember, as long as you Try, you’ll Never fail. That’s what it means to NeverMiss. Keep shooting, keep practicing, and you’ll get better.🏀 #basketball #coach #CapCut

Your face isn’t sagging. Your skull is stuck. We’re told the fix is out there. Another cream, another supplement, another device. Meanwhile the face keeps holding what the body never let go of. Clean hands. Thumb to the center of the roof of your mouth, index finger hooked just above the ridge of your nose. Gently push down and gently push up. Breathe through the nose for six slow rounds, and on each exhale feel the opening. Then release slowly. Softer jaw. Quieter head. A face that stops bracing. You didn’t need to buy anything. Nothing is found on the outside. The kingdom of heaven is within. A release, not a treatment. #mindfulmovemend #facerelease #jawtension #nervoussystemregulation #somatichealing

The Pinky Trick: How to get out of a funk by moving your pinky Scott Adams "Motion creates dopamine. If you can move your pinky, you can probably move your hand. If you can move your hand, your arm will move and then you can stand up. So you just get yourself going by moving the smallest muscle and let that build. So that's how you get up. So now I'm up, I'm moving, that's dopamine, playing with the dog, that's dopamine, and then, I'm just getting more active and doing a bunch of things, and eating some food that wasn't bad for me. And next thing you know, all good."

Hand and wrist movement often take longer to see progress after a stroke for many different reasons. One of those is based on anatomy. The hand is farther away from the brain and so takes longer to remake those brain-body connections. #stroke #strokerecovery #strokerehabilitation #strokerehab #hand #movement #brain #neuro #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #nonprofit

The push-up is a compound, multi-joint movement. use @Eato app to track my calories. It doesn‘t just work your chest - it also targets the anterior deltoids and triceps. While the chest muscles are the primary focus, your shoulders and arms play a major role in the movement. To perform push-ups with proper form and get the most benefit, here are 4 key details you need to focus on: 1. Elbow angle & hand position Keep elbows at about a 45° angle by externally rotating your shoulders. Spread your fingers for better stability and wrist comfort. 2. Shoulders down Avoid shrugging. Keep shoulders away from your ears to reduce strain and improve control. 3. Let your shoulder blades move Retract on the way down, protract on the way up. This helps your chest fully stretch and contract. 4. Tight core, no sagging Keep your body in a straight line. Engage your core to prevent your hips from dropping or lifting. #eato #eatopartner #fitness #bodybuilding #pushup

Steph Curry Drill: 5-10 shots, none of them the same. Don't worry about re-gripping it. Move your body, close your stance, open it. Get too far away from it, get too close to it. Stand on one leg. Move around and just let your body create the shot. If you ever watch Steph Curry warm up, this is what he does in basketball. This gets you out of internal swing thoughts and into the shot. I hit every one of these right on the sweet spot. Your subconscious when allowed to operate is powerful and using drills like this to develop. hand eye coordination will help you to just be an athlete on the course.

This simple yoga flow covers more than you think. Cobra opens up the front side of your body and builds strength in your low back. Down dog stretches the entire back side of your body while strengthening your shoulders and arms. The easiest way to connect both is through a strong plank. From plank, lower with control, scoop the hips forward, and press into your hands to lift the chest into cobra. Stay long through the front of the body, not jammed in the low back. Take a breath, press your feet into the floor, return to plank, then push the hips up and back to create an A-frame for down dog. Reach long through the spine and shoulders. Flow slowly back and forth. You are mobilizing the front of the body, strengthening the low back, stretching the posterior chain, and building shoulder strength all at once.

If your stroke hand won’t move, don’t start with exercise — start by waking up the brain. Tapping and brushing your hand helps reconnect the signals that control movement. You’re not just training your hand — you’re retraining your brain. #strokerecovery #strokeexercise #handrehabilitation #neurorehab #occupationaltherapy #physicaltherapy #handtherapy #strokesurvivor #strokeawareness #plasticity #rehabathome

Points to think about when picking the ball glove side: •Work ground up. •Fingers stay down, wrist stays flat. •When working outside of your body frame, just use your glove hand. •Turn your body to where the ball is going.

Pushing Down the Mound Is Hurting Your Velocity The biggest mistake I see is guys trying to rotate by pushing. They try to push to create linear momentum down the mound. That’s the wrong way to go about it. When you push, it actually makes it harder to rotate. And rotation is where most of your velocity comes from. Hip to shoulder separation is responsible for a huge portion of pitching velocity. If you take away from that, you’re taking away from your velo. That’s why even from your knees, you can throw close to 80 percent of your top velocity. So the goal is to maximize rotation and create as much separation as possible. The pelvis fires toward the target while the rib cage, shoulders, and chest stay back. That stretch and torque is what propels your arm through.
