There's no such thing as "perfect pitching mechanics" for EVERYONE, but there are some key strategies for engineering a delivery that works best for YOU. #cspfamily

I've written a lot about the importance of strength training in the frontal plane, but a lot of folks overlook how important it is to move fast with some external loading in those positions. Rotational medicine ball drills are great, but here are four more that we use regularly: 1️⃣ 3D strap lateral lunge with IR 2️⃣ Lateral Lunge w/Eccentric Band Overload 3️⃣ Landmine Lateral Lunge for Speed 4️⃣ Lateral Lunge Pulses Try them out and let us know what you think! #cspfamily

In my new podcast episode, I highlight five ways that pitchers – especially in the amateur ranks – can safely build pitching velocity in a short amount of time. With summer ball approaching, this information is very timely. Link in bio. . . This episode is brought to you by @1stphorm . Beyond the broad product line they offer, I also love 1stPhorm’s commitment to ensuring that their products are the highest quality, meeting specific NSF certified for sport standards for consistency and purity.Their Phormula-1 protein powder is the best tasting option I’ve encountered in over 20 years in the fitness industry, and they’ve got several great flavors to choose from. I also lean on their creatine monohydrate to support hard training, their collagen for joint health, and their fish oil for a variety of health benefits. Above all, the people at 1st Phorm are top notch – and that’s a rarity in an often unethical industry. Check them out for yourself at /cressey and get free shipping on your order of $99 or more. Additionally, they’re offering an amazing 10% more than your money back guarantee if you’re not fully satisfied with your purchase. #cspfamily #1stphorm #iam1stphorm #pitchingvelocity

I often remind our young athletes and parents that the overwhelming majority of our clients won't go on to make life-changing money playing professional sports, but that all of them can learn a ton of life lessons in the gym and leverage their time at @cresseysportsperformance to foster a favorable long-term relationship with exercise. I'm not sure there's a better CSP client example than @sahilbloom , who was a #CSPFamily OG; he was there the day we opened in 2007. From day one, he was insanely locked in with his preparation. Every rep was tracked, and at a time when he could have been content to be the big fish in a small pond of Massachusetts baseball players, he didn't hesitate to jump into the deep end, training alongside pro players all through high school and college. He went on to pitch for (and captain) the Stanford Baseball team and earned his master's degree, then moved on to private equity and started his own venture capital fund on top of a collection of other shrewd investments. Sahil became a NY Times Best-Seller for "The 5 Types of Wealth," and recently started @wildromanofficial , a natural skincare company that's turning a lot of heads for all the right reasons. And, he's in heavy demand for speaking engagements. All the while, Sahil still trains hard and regularly. I've often said that exercise is somewhat of a "North Star" for a lot of spouses/parents, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders. It teaches you to "embrace the suck" and work through challenging things. And, it's there for blowing off steam, celebrating when you're feeling good, and also kicking out endorphins to make you creative and fun to be around; the trickle-down effect of exercise is as much mental as it is physical. Damn proud of you, buddy. Thanks for the morning lift - and 19 years of friendship.🤝

In my latest podcast, I welcome Dr. Robby Sikka, who brings a wealth of sports medicine research experience across a variety of sports. Robby shares insights about the dramatic rise in injuries in professional tennis while also speaking to the broader landscape of sports medicine trends across high level sports. Link in bio. . . This episode is brought to you by @drinkag1 . They’ve just upgraded the formula to AG1 Next Gen, which comes in a slightly larger size with bolstered vitamins and minerals and upgraded probiotics. They’ve completed four clinical trials on the formulation, and these clinical studies have demonstrated that AG1 improves gut health and addresses common nutrient gaps, even among healthy eaters. AG1 is your daily foundational nutrition; it has 75 whole-food sourced ingredients designed to support your body’s foundational nutrition needs across five critical areas of health: 1) energy, 2) immunity, 3) gut health, 4) hormonal support, and 5) healthy aging. It is the new and future way of getting a multivitamin, and a whole lot more. Head to /cressey and claim my special offer today – free AG1 travel packets, a shaker bottle, and a 600-serving bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 – with your first purchase.

Happy Mother's Day, @annacressey ! We love and appreciate you so much. ❤️

In the new podcast, I review some recent research on the utility of the Functional Movement Screen in predicting upper extremity injuries in baseball players. More importantly, I speak broadly to the goal of doing assessments, and why what’s predictive in one population might not hold up in a different group of athletes. Link in bio. . .

Dr. Michael Freehill of the #Athletics and @stanfordorthopaedics was an outstanding guest on the podcast recently. In particular, this segment on elbow injuries, hand size, and the dimensions of the baseball was fascinating. You can check out the entire conversation at the link in my bio. #cspfamily #sportsmedicine #pitchinginjuries

Consistency isn’t flashy, but it shows up loud in the data. This force plate trend over the past few years (from one of our athletes now finishing out his first year of high school) tells a simple story: small, consistent improvements compound into big changes. No shortcuts, no magic programs; instead, just showing up, stacking quality work, and trusting the process. Long-term athletic development isn’t about chasing peaks, it’s about raising the floor year after year. And when you zoom out, that’s where the real difference is made. Great job, @loganhighfill290 ! #cspfamily

In this episode of the podcast, I welcome Cleveland #Guardians starting pitcher Slade Cecconi (@slade_cecconi ), who speaks about not only his path to the big leagues, but his strategies for continuing to improve while at the highest level. Slade shares his late bloomer story, and outlines key developmental strategies he employed – including leaning on the wisdom of MLB veterans. Link in bio. . . . A big thanks to this show’s sponsor, Rapid Reboot, a leader in Pneumatic Compression Technology to optimize recovery after hard training sessions. We added Rapid Reboot’s technology at Cressey Sports Performance last year and it’s been a huge hit with our athletes.

College baseball injuries are up ~5x in the last 6 years 🤯 And according to @ericcressey , it’s only going to get worse. NIL. The transfer portal. One-year deals. Everyone’s extracting value without putting time into building the foundations. The industry’s defaulted to more skill work, but you can’t skill your way out of a physical deficit. That’s where the Proteus Physical Velocity Assessments come in—the first tool that puts an objective number on that gap for every athlete, at any level. Want to learn more?
