Do you know why we love these two younger pitchers in the video? We have time to develop them, and the sky is the limit for them. We can plan long-term. They are a delight. There was a parent who wanted to fly across the country and have me work with his 17-year-old daughter because she was not being recruited, and he wanted me to “fix” her in a weekend. I absolutely saw red flags. Why? 1-You are asking her to eliminate dozens of muscles that get in the way of performance, while substituting muscles that she should have been using all along. It is called muscle memory and older kids can be strangled by it. This is not fair to her. 2-I have no idea of her work ethic, thought processes, the parental relationship, and how to best get through to her, but he wanted her to be “fixed”, a word that I do not like. 3-What is the likely outcome of trying to learn an entirely new system during high pressure exposure tournaments and college camps? 4-Even if she understands how to use her body better for a fastball, it requires a lot of adjustments in every other pitch. That may take a little longer. 5-Because they are in a panic, because they want a total overhaul in a weekend, I cannot imagine the confusion the kid is feeling after buying into a certain approach for years and suddenly being told it was a bad idea. Yes, we regularly make huge differences in older students. Most of them are fantastic, but we always wish that we could have started sooner and enjoyed the journey more. If you look at the huge number of D-1 commits on our social media, one theme emerges frequently. Most of them started young with us, they committed to the system, and we had time to do it right. You will find exceptions. In every one of those cases they say the same thing—they wish they had started years before, they would have been much further along in their journey, and there would have been so much less stress along the way. 🔗 Want to find a Tincher Pitching Certified Instructor near you?
