Rotational medicine ball throw velocity explained 38% of the variance in pitching velocity in 35 Division III baseball players.
The standing broad jump and the lateral to medial jump didn't show a significant relationship with pitching velocity in the same group.
Rotational med ball velocity is one of the power tests we use with pitchers, and a retest that helps us track velocity and power potential.
Mid-week session from our baseball strength phase. The trap bar is our undulated lift this week:heaviest load we can move at 0.8–1.0 m/s peak velocity. Med ball throws are tracked with a @PocketRadar and the trap bar with an @OVRPerformance#baseballstrength#pitchingdevelopment
Every throw, every swing, every rep: tracked by athlete, by day.
A few movements from a typical strength week with the high school baseball guys.

@AntiSatan7 Clear app. to the Church that the Pilgrims believed could be applied to earthly civil admin. Great lessons that can be implemented to our current concepts of the church and the state with God as the ultimate authority. Applying to the dominion of this earthly life.
@CIKJeremyCarl IMO the economic lesson is actually a religious one. The choice of the communal system in the Plymouth Plantation they believed was right by God, but they figured out it went against their created nature. 2 Thess. 3:10- great ex. of Biblical app. to the civil body politick
The Pilgrims originally believed that the communal system was the correct way by God. When reality set in and they saw the injustice occurring (2 Thess 3:10), they realized it went against their created nature. The surplus directly led to the feast with the purpose to praise God
Did you ever learn how socialism stole the first Thanksgiving?
The Pilgrims first tried a socialist system where they shared fields, shared food, equal rations.
But Bradford wrote in his journal that the young men “complained that they should work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense.”
Communal property, he said, “bred much confusion and discontent and retarded much employment.”
The results?
They planted only 26 acres of crops… and people starved.
So Bradford switched to a capitalist system - private family plots. This allowed every family to keep the fruits of the labor.
The result?
The next year they planted 184 acres—7× more food! More than enough for everyone, including the needy.
Freedom works.
Analog teaching still wins where it matters.
Print reading boosts comprehension, handwriting strengthens thinking, and focused discussion deepens understanding: all backed by decades of cognitive science. You don’t need a device to build knowledge. You need books, pencils and high-quality talk.
In a world obsessed with digital solutions, the fundamentals are still the most powerful tools we have.
How might your teaching change if you stripped it back to what actually works?
“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.” -John Quincy Adams
CLAIM: "America was founded as a SECULAR nation that didn't favor Christianity"
TRUTH: 1) You have to ignore an *avalanche* of primary-source evidence to believe this.
2) In 1854 a secular group protested that the US government was too Christian, and demanded the secularization of the public square.
The House Judiciary Committee vehemently rejected their protest, and said the following...
(this is gonna blow your mind)
"Had the people, during the Revolution, had suspicion of any attempt to war against Christianity, that Revolution would have been strangled in its cradle. At the time of the adoption of the Constitution and the amendments, the universal sentiment was that Christianity should be encouraged, not any one denomination...
In this age there can be no substitute for Christianity. That, in its general principles, is the great conservative element on which we must rely for the purity and permanence of free institutions."
FURTHER: Here's the United States Judiciary Committee in 1853...
"We are Christians, not because the law demands it, not to gain exclusive benefits or to avoid legal disabilities, but from choice and education; and in a land thus universally Christian, what is to be expected - what desired - but that we shall pay a due regard to Christianity?"
EVEN FURTHER: Here's the United States House of Representatives in 1856...
"The great and vital conservative element in our system is the belief of our people in the pure doctrines and Divine truths of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
