Find out about the important elements of our High School Program below.
Here’s 4 reasons why PureVelo is the best pitching program in the area:
1. Mobility and Stability - Physical Therapist
Full Body Evaluation
Our Physical Therapist will perform a full body evaluation prior to any workouts aiding us in creating an individualized and safe personal training program for each athlete.
Corrective Exercises
Our physical therapist will design a plan to help strengthen areas of weakness found in your initial evaluation to keep you throwing the entire season.
Ongoing Care
Monthly follow-ups by the physical therapist to monitor progression or initiate new corrective drills as needed.
Injury or Pain Evaluation
If at any point an athlete experiences pain our Physical Therapist will evaluate the problem and will outline his recommendations. Further treatment , if necessary, is not covered in our program.
2. Strength and conditioning
Upper body
Not just our arms but our neck, shoulders, chest and, of course, our arms. Let’s get stronger here so we can not only throw harder but healthier too!
Core
Everything starts with the core. This is where our ability to hold important positions in the delivery comes from. A weak core is one of the fastest ways to kill velocity.
Lower body
The legs are the life blood of a pitcher. Without our legs we rely solely on our arm to throw with any force which is not ideal and quite simply not safe. We’ll help build your foundation from the ground up.
Conditioning
Although pitching is mostly short bursts of energy a basic amount of conditioning is necessary to carry a pitcher through the later innings. We’ll make sure you can pitch as long as you need to.
3. Technology
TRAQ
All our workouts are accessible online with detailed drill explanation and videos plus we keep track of all your throws so you never wonder if you’re improving or not.
Rapsodo Pitching
Design the perfect pitch; Velocity, spin, spin direction, shape on every throw
High Speed Insight Camera
Not only do we have Rapsodo Pitching but we can show you exactly how the ball left your finger tips, which finger exerted the most pressure, and how your grip actually played out.
Pitchai
Biomechanical evaluation of your pitching delivery allows us to pinpoint less than optimal mechanics.
4. Pitching Phases
Our methodical approach to preparing you to a peak just as your season is about to begin …
On-Ramp
Here’s where we prepare your body for the rigors of throwing hard and throwing often. We’ll spend 4-6 weeks in this phase to be sure you’re ready. This is the necessary boring phase.
Velocity
During this phase you’ll throw as hard as you can up to 2 times per week. Don’t worry we’ll phase the amount of throws in gradually and we’ll spend a lot of time listening to how your arm responds, adjusting as needed.
Pitch Design
This is the fun stage! Using Rapsodo Pitching and our Insight high speed camera we’ll start by showing you exactly how your current repertoire plays then help you design the perfect additional pitch.
Live Bullpens
On Saturdays we invite local high school hitters to the gym to try their luck at your fastball, curveball and change. We wish them luck!
