Players, coaches and parents ‼️

Got stiff hips?

Most of the time it has zero to do with bony anatomical structures

What can it be?

Fascial Adhesions

Let’s break it down!!

Youth baseball has a development problem‼️

Kids master drills… not movement.

So when the game speeds up:
late swings, off-balance throws, stiff defenders.

It’s not a mechanics issue.

It’s a movement skills deficiency.

Build the athlete first.

Do me a favor:

Grab a bat. Relax your hands and arms.

Take an easy swing as if you’re hitting a ball.

Notice how gravity naturally helps slot and turn the barrel?

Maybe hitters don’t need to force the bat into position.

Maybe they need to relax and let it slot naturally.

It does go by so fast!
We focused on development never getting to high or too low especially waiting for Mother Nature to kick in.
As a parent, I always remembered what it was like as a player myself at these different levels…and that no one is harder on my son than himself.
He didn’t need his dad to be over critical and enjoying the successes as they happened.
He recently finished up 4 years playing NAIA and currently finishing up his second year of Med School at Wayne State.

Being a youth baseball parent is HARD!

Winning vs. development.

Playing time vs. Trophies.

The best team isn’t always the best FIT for your son.

You’ll make mistakes. Be present, enjoy the journey, and remember how fast it goes.

PARENTS: What pitfalls have you learned to avoid?
