How much is
too much?
I had a great
conversation yesterday with a local orthopedic
surgeon. He actually helps out a local minor league
team with their injury problems and issues.
We got on the
conversation of pitch counts and injuries.
As most of you know,
we certainly advocate pitch counts. There are no
absolutes in pitch counts, but we certainly have
guidelines.
Well, the bottom line
conversation with this Doc was that it really is up
to the pitcher to know his/her own limitations.
Listen to the body.
If you've
participated in our Elite Pitching program, you know
the pitch count parameters we stress. Use those as a
guideline. See how your body feels with those
guidelines and adjust accordingly.
What I really liked
about the conversation with the Doc was he stresses
proper conditioning, proper mechanics and improving
core strength to his clients.
Looks like we will be
joining forces with this doctor and his clinic to
help our clients with the best information and
instruction anywhere.
Food for thought
today!
Keep kickin' butt in
the training room!
