Throwing is a skill—and honestly, one of the most under taught in softball. I’ve been coaching softball for a decade now, and it still surprises me how little time is spent actually developing throwing. We expect clean, accurate throws in games, but don’t train it with any real intent or programing. Then when players make bad throws, feel pain or start breaking down from overuse, we’re shocked. Or worse—frustrated. If we want athletes to perform, we’ve got to stop treating throwing like it’s just a warm-up and start treating it like the skill it is. Train it, teach it.

The vast majority of the time, your [insert muscle/body part] tightness is not a flexibility/mobility issue. It’s a weakness and exceeding tissue capacity issue. The tightness is communication from the body that you are currently red-lining the capacity of the tissue to handle the stress you are placing on it. Tight hip flexors? Probably weak and undertrained Tight forearm? Probably weak and undertrained If it’s not weak, then there’s likely workload considerations and a buildup of fatigue/lack of recovery. Regardless, no amount of stretching, scraping, cupping or dry needling will fix the root cause here. Just mask the symptoms until the next high intensity/volume stressor is applied and the cycle repeats.

Changing your mindset from “Putting the ball in play” to “I’m going to do damage” Can clean up movement and timing issues faster than any drill can.

99% of the time, you don't need: • New bat • New shoes • New travel team You need to practice consistently 6 days a week for 6 months.
