okay so when we start off Camp we're going to talk about motion start we want to make sure that kids understand triple flexion and triple extension so triple flexion is a hinge at the waist the hinges at the main end of the ankle so you're going to get about like 60 degrees probably the same and a little bit too far with the foot but I think it resonated with this so we're going to use these again each kid will have one they'll check your angles will start understand that speed is gained by setting three levels of flexion and driving out to three levels of extension through the ankle of the knee and the hips or work on that at the beginning okay so that's the first thing right there all right so the next thing we'll talk about is how to get power off the mountain because this is our mechanical part of it when we think about power off the mouth about the pelvis moving in a linear Direction so linear on the pitch happens before rotation we're using a linear direction for about 32 inches 33 inches at about eight miles an hour on the best player so this thing's got to move fast and hard forward it gets to the end of the forward run while the legs in the air when it hits the end of the forward run that's when the pelvic rotation starts to happen but it's essential that we get a really good driving push right at the beginning okay that stems from using his feet two different ways so when I set up on the mount let's try not to let the kids sit up like this this is ineffective because they'll never get the proper angles that we just talked about in the first video so make sure the back foot's close enough that when they're in this position that Circle start we measure those angles where that Circle start what happens first in an ideal motion is that the back leg fires first you push off the ball of your foot which engages your Talus which then drives you into your calf which will push you this way when the back foot is slightly angled inward it makes it easier to rotate the pelvis when it's hanging out and we start back on our heel we're coming off of our glute which is not a fast way to move that drives first and it drives The Locomotion into the front leg and when we drive into the front leg we're looking to drive down into our heel in the middle of our foot which then activates the glute so it goes from ball with foot tallest calf to mid foot back heel glute and those two things in that one two order should create that run at a higher speed and faster forward good when we get into rotations we'll have one coach working the pad first pad exercise is to actually press yourself into this position so right now I'm pushing hard off my ball of my foot into my Talus into my calf and I'm feeling it push down right here that position for a little bit it should burn and then ready go they drive out as far as they can which I'm not going to do right now but they'll drive out we could get them eight or number one they could do Sprints from here ready to go straight Sprint here ready to go drive the leg up and then right here first ready to go right into the pitch so kind of three things on that segment ready next time we have GRL which is ground reaction force the one that happens in the beginning and we measured at the end so the greater level of force we throw it down into that leg right before we throw the pitch the higher the volume the higher the pitch speed so it's good to keep your foot down but we also need to and if the knee is slightly bent it just can't leak so it's got to either stabilize on the greatest athletes what we see is it extends so from here to here we see extension at like 100 degrees per second and after a ball released we see extension in upwards of 500 Degrees per second on great athletes because they push back so hard you're going to see the heel dig maybe the toe kick up so just working on like that kind of pressure right in there usually helps you stop turning as well so the d-cell on the front leg is really important okay so the next thing you want to work on in your drills stand sideways on the mound like this I mean okay two things when they go to do their pitch make sure this foot has got some angle to it and you stand back away put your foot like this on top of the shoelace okay and make an arm Circle just don't let that foot move so push down when they go to throw the ball okay that's good now see she's leaning forward a little bit so the next thing to do is grab the thigh so I want you to push in the mind if you can I should probably push it out leaning so you want to push it back down and back if you like backwards resistance so it's like you're throwing the brake on with that front leg yeah yeah yeah good job again that was pretty good good first power goes one of the girls we're gonna do is take Med ball hit the light ones not the heavy ones for the kids use sixes if possible and partner so we're gonna get pretty close to the wall we're gonna stand here or we're coming back and we are cooking it as hard as we can to get into the wall and working on just being explosive getting that foot down throwing through as hard as we can okay good next thing I'm going to do from the mound is work on being explosive here so we're going to set up it's going to come in our gut or in our triple flexion and we're going to drive this thing out as far as we can right to the arm Circle so we're trying to get as much distance as possible as we go through the bottom good this time last camp water bottle was about getting a strawberry powder and discount water bottles or acceleration it's about building speed so we're gonna do two drills of water bottles one lateral so we're gonna set up extremely rotated femur good hip head and come around and we're gonna Chuck like we're chucking we're thank you Garth we're throwing it as hard as we thought we can Garth off and then once they do that several times okay I mean enough to get it not just several times like a quality experience we're gonna come around we're gonna start from the front and make sure make sure they got those good angles and throw it up pretty hard thank you I want um exercise is done with stride length so imagine I'm on the ground on my back my head is there my feet are there I'm going to measure my body length I'm going to put a coin we have coins in the thing so I know what my body length is what I'm going to try to do is try to get I don't know if that's really my body length but I'm going to try to drive out as far as I can try to beat That by at least a foot that's the goal so you can take them in the station single leg broad jump full broad jump do verticals do like as high as you can and drive out as far as you can sometimes alternating between right foot and left foot uh gets them to understand and drive out faster so jump out as far as you can on your left foot jump in that right with your right foot forward and then try to add it to the pitch so we're looking at trying to gain speed um through stride length for every foot closer you get to the hitter The Hitter perceives an additional three miles an hour on the pitch so perceived speed is part of speed there's effective velocity there's perceived speed and then there's actual radar gun speed so perceived speed and power come from striving okay good one of the rotations down the Dome will be long toss and what we're looking for on Long Toss is to not try to overthrow or to try to stretch back and really work that down angle back in here which is optimal for screw glow Rising curveball and it's an optimal assessment if you can throw the ball far there's data that says if I can throw the ball you know over 100 feet I'm going to be over 50 miles an hour if I could throw 120 feet I'm up higher higher higher so when these kids can get the ability to throw the ball on the upper trajectory without gravity pulling it down that means they're developing the power they need to be a strong pitcher okay okay so power control is one of our topics to be able to throw hard and be able to control it a lot of it has to do with timing from body control timing off the Mountain's a big thing if they don't have they have a lot of extra movement and emotion in the beginning you really do lose power and you lose a lot of control so we're going to set the kids up here is going to be a one-two timing so it's going to be one even if my hand separates that's still a 1B so my hand used to separate one it can't be one two that that is not happening anymore softball and there's either one in the beginning so it's one two old beat for a lot of you who are here as kids used to be one and a jab two three that job is at a time it sends you up where it needs to go up okay so one two timing we'll do it as a group but we'll also do it as a rotation camera drill provides you the opportunity to feel an end load of weight most kids are going to want to hold the hammer here which loses the ability to really fire that ulnar movement pattern so it's set up here like this make sure you got that 138 angle which is flexion older flexion right here but when I bring it down I want to hang on to my hammer angle as long as possible when I feel up around compression boom I want to let it go so come down boom I want to let it go I want to actually pretend I'm striking something to work on the D cell that I need I'm in my delt in my supraspinatus that pulls my shoulder and stabilizes my shoulder so I want to be here boom and I throw it down and here boom when I throw down and you can see the Palm position is in a great place to intro rise ball because all I could do right here now is Twist that pitch okay I'm gonna go into a rotation of spin here's some things that each of our stations will do around the building one we're gonna hold on the black let's use a universal grip for screwball rise ball curveball okay thumbs behind working the middle finger stretch between middle and and ring finger first finger up okay this is the large ball so it's a nice South spin like a spin rise like it's been rise I can wear a curve and I can wear a screws I could probably swim to each other with this one but start to feel that big ball and just getting that line as best as you can right from here and then you can start to do a little curve a little screw with this and a station I think we're going to stay within four stations and go rise up screw at each station with each object and then rotate the next one would be the dowel so the down would be east west on your rise ball okay it would be like right here on a curve okay do not throw this with each other because lined up with the dowel on the knife and right there on a screw so it's this way this way or that way self-spin with this one next one get through to each other with this I would definitely start with rise ball so you're looking for pink on one side oops and green on the other okay and then when you throw the curve it's gonna look like that so screwball they can do that back and forth to each other same thing with the spinner same idea as this okay just here here and here okay and if they need assistance with the curveball have these handy I don't want to make this a station really but if you just wear purple to intro out all your boots by just kind of doing them okay
