“There’s something about an athlete that you have to believe that you’re better than you are. You have to. But, the great ones can also look really honestly with themselves and go you know what? I’m afraid. I need to get better at this. I need to get better at that,” Dave Roberts
The Biceps and Brachialis are strong decelerators of the elbow extension component of throwing which is why it is a common location for day 1 soreness
❤️Give yourself some soft tissue love with these Biceps Tack and Pump techniques + The Throwing Arm Myofascial Stretch
🔑Pin down the Biceps in a shortened position (bent elbow) and lengthen/glide it by maintaining pressure and extending the elbow. Work up and down the belly of the muscle
🔥 You can make this a little more specific to the biceps by adding in pronation with will elongate the biceps even further
If the biceps shortens over time, there are two common outcomes:
⚾️ Loss of Elbow Extension Range of Motion
⚾️ Forward tipping of the throwing shoulder
Neither are Ideal
** This needs to be done combined with a holistic approach of an S&C program and proper workload management as some common causes of this can be poor workload dosing or simply lack of strength
Hard throwers don't:
🚫 Push off the rubber
🚫 Triple extend
🚫 Reach with their front hip/leg
Hard throwers do:
✅ Hold tension into the back hip
✅ Keep a stacked torso + pelvis
✅ Maintain back foot connection
✅ Hold pelvis closed during linear move
Nick Saban explaining process over outcome.
"Most people have a vision - they can define what it takes to accomplish the vision. But can they execute it?"
"Do they have the discipline to make the right decisions?"
The goal is easy to set - the discipline to show up and do the work, that's where people fail.
Focus on doing your job at the highest level.
Talent gets you in the room - what you do and your process keeps you there.
"Those choices and decisions certainly determine whether we can stay committed to a process that's going to help us accomplish the vision we have."
Commit to the process and trust the results will follow.

Interesting how,in this BP session, Bonds is initiating his swing before/as he is planting his foot. He was known to have said ”if you are early,you are on time.”
Good players hope to rise to the occasion.
Great players just trust their training.
Greatness doesn’t wait for the bright lights; it’s built daily.
