If perfect mechanics were enough…
they wouldn’t disappear in games.
So why does a player look great in lessons, but stiff and inconsistent under pressure in the game?
Let’s break it down🧵

My JUCO coach had us throw sidearm to ensure the runner slides!
What do you think about this play?

A performance coach after the athlete they trained one time for two weeks gets a college offer or makes it professionally

After working with thousands of players, one thing is clear:
The best players are the best movers.
Their swings are more athletic.
Their pitching motions are more athletic.
Skill follows Athleticism and Baseball Flow — not the other way around.

Build the athlete first.

Youth baseball has a development problem. Players master drills… not movement. So when the game speeds up: late swings, off-balance throws, rushed plays. Same ball. Different outcome. One player stays smooth. The other can’t solve it. It’s not mechanics—it’s movement.

Shoutout to his dad too…
Imagine working 8–10 hours, then coming home and spending another 4+ hours getting reps in with your son.
Sounds like a dream day—but doing that consistently for 8–10 years?
That takes real commitment.

G had a bad day at the plate as a sophomore for us on a Friday evening. That night, he went home and hit in the cage for 4+ hours with his dad, woke up and was the first guy at the park the next morning. His work ethic was absolutely unmatched then and still is now.

Just out of curiously, how does everyone feel about the “Get your Elbow up‼️” cue for young hitters?

@GowagsKyle Curious on the issue with “keep your eye on the ball”
English
@flowsdoc I despise it. Almost as much as keep your eye on the ball.
English
@flowsdoc I’m a nobody. But, I don’t like it when it’s a forced movement. Let the athlete be an athlete. Everyone has different movements that allow their body to achieve a task.

I wish I understood this in pro ball.
The game doesn’t reward perfect mechanical positions…
it rewards athletes who can solve movement problems in real time.
Train movement → the game slows down.

Stop doing more baseball drills. Start building better movers. Games don’t happen in perfect positions. They happen at speed, under pressure, from imperfect angles. Movement before mechanics. Athletic plays > isolated drills. Move better. Play better. 🔁

@theswingman444 “Depends” is a good way not to answer a question..
English
@theswingman444 You’re correct.. controlling center of gravity, connected turn, dynamic balance, robust adjustability, clean transitions… it’s all trainable
English
@flowsdoc And where do you think having the ability to FLOW comes from? Being in GOOD POSITIONS is what allows for EFFICIENT & EFFECTIVE TRANSITIONING throughout movement .
Using still images is a great way to see how the athlete is positioned at any given moment during that movement.
English
@theswingman444 Level changes, transitions, athletic flow,
Timing… not positions.. we’ve been looking at too many still images of positions.. the swing is one Flow..
English
@flowsdoc Wasn’t saying they needed to be in a static position and of course there’s no such thing as being perfect but figuring out the best positions to get in while moving will ultimately lead to more efficient and effective movement.
English
@theswingman444 Slippery slope chasing static perfect positions.. it’s about transitions not positions..
English
@flowsdoc The way you solve the movement problems is by getting into good positions,
