It continues to be frustrating to watch the hitting world toil around in ineffective training environments. The data is clear... get the barrel moving faster & you will become a better hitter. It doesn't guarantee you become a good hitter or that the other "stuff" doesn't
We've found hitting performance is optimum when a swing is ~90% of max bat speed. That is swinging fast, not hard (not max effort). What that also means is you want to improve your median bat speed as a hitter, your hitting engine. 90% of 80 mph max is better than 90% of 70 mph

There's a bunch of misinformation out there, so let's clear it up: Yes, we sold NCTB... but @NCTB_TheLeague will be unchanged. Same management, same format, etc. No doubt my favorite thing I've created or done in baseball- The League is a joy every year. Can't wait!

There's a lot of truth in this, but always some nuance... Following basic soft tissue principles, 14-21 days is a solid standard when evaluating how long it takes "micro" tears to heal in soft tissue. So taking off 2-3 weeks over the course of the year, especially after a long
“No throw November” is probably the worst idea (or advice) in all of the pitching world. The only exception to this is if you are feeling pain. Never stop throwing! *throwing does not mean pitching off a mound. Throwing is throwing!

This is a bit much… What Yama did didn’t have anything to do with fancy terms and recovery (those things are important & I know them well) That was an apex competitor sacrificing his health and putting his team first with everything on the line Sometimes us trainer guys take
Yamamoto in the World Series highlights the importance of Acute: Chronic Workload. If he overthrows for the last 6 months, doesn’t recover seriously, or doesn’t stick to his routine he doesn’t have the ability to spike his acute workload without getting hurt. RECOVERY MATTERS

One of my biggest frustrations... people doing random mobility for the sake of just doing it... Not everything is right for everyone Not all mobility is good mobility Sometimes your super power is a lack of mobility (gasp) @KpiMh
Doing “spine training” won’t fix your throw if you don’t understand what you’re training. Im sure adding all the spinal suff you pulled off IG will work will fix everything.

Real expertise doesn’t need a sales pitch You can see it — in results, in reputation, in the people it’s produced Those searching for good coaches or advisors shouldn’t chase social media clips Find the ones with a track record of success, not a tagline @KpiMh

Seems like yesterday and also a lifetime ago... We were scared when we opened... in the middle of a pandemic with a huge financial investment and a new concept this area had never seen Now we did something very few facilities have ever done before, in record time... All I can
