Chapter 25: Training Programs

Training programs must incorporate specific training activities to increase motor skill and physical fitness levels. These programs must start with training activities that require minimal motor skills and physical fitness. After pitchers master specific pitching skills and attain the minimal pitching fitness, the program must advance to more advanced training activities that require advanced pitching skills and physical fitness.

WARNING: Until the medial epicondyle growth plates become contiguous with their humeral diaphyses, adolescent pitchers must NOT do my 10 lb. wrist weight or my 6 lb. iron ball exercises.

a. Two Week Training Program

I wrote my two week training program as an introductory program to my force application techniques. On the Maxline training days, I teach a fastball and a curve. On the Torque training days, I teach a fastball and a screwball. Without professional instruction, pitchers will find perfecting my force application techniques challenging.

b. Forty Week Training Program

I offer my forty week training program only at my Zephyrhills, FL Pitching Training Center. Pitchers must agree to train daily for two hundred and eighty consecutive days. If pitchers miss days, to regain their training level, they have to train one and one-half days for every day that they missed. During the forty week training program, pitchers cannot pitch competitively. However, after the program, pitchers must pitch competitively as much as possible. I prefer that pitchers have four years of college eligibility remaining, but I will accept pitchers with only two years of college eligibility remaining.

Forty Week Training Program Ends

After my forty week training program, to continue their motor skill development, pitchers have to pitch competitively. Pitchers physiologically respond to my forty week training program very similarly. They can achieve the pitching arm strength required to throw all pitches within the forty weeks. However, I cannot predict when pitchers will master the pitching motor skills. Pitchers should not expect to master everything that I teach within the forty week training program.
