“Contact me if your arm hurts!” – Coach Skip Fast, 25+ Years Coach Pitchers.

Your Kinect Chain

Pitching is a kinetic chain activity, meaning energy is transferred sequentially from the ground to the body.

The kinetic chain starts with the starting position of the feet.
The front foot lift uses this position to keep the weight back.
The glove arm moves across the body to create tension in the core.
The tension releases, and the ball goes to the target.

Disruptions in this chain, such as improper head movement, lead to excessive stress on certain joints, particularly the shoulder and elbow.

Head movement is a vital indicator of overall pitching mechanics.
A stable and controlled head position is essential for performance and injury prevention.
Addressing improper head movement often involves correcting underlying mechanical issues in the lower body and core.

The relationship between head movement and injury risk is essential for performance and injury prevention. A stable and controlled head position helps maintain proper spinal alignment and an efficient release. Excessive or erratic head movement throws off this alignment, increasing strain on the neck, shoulder, and arm.

Working with Coach Skip, pitchers discover a kinetic chain in which they lower their heads before moving forward, build an injury-resistant motion, and never worry about finding the target again!

Overall, Coach Skip Fast uses your responses to recreate your motion – a motion in which you send your pitches to his target with uncanny regularity.
