Did you watch the Women's College World Series this weekend?
Wow, this amazing softball is just an incredible treat. I love it!
Speaking of the WCWS, have you noticed how modern pitchers are literally work horses? They can go on forever and remain super effective. A perfect exemple was the 10-inning game between UCLA and Auburn.
The modern pitcher at the WCWS has speed, movement, mental toughness, and..... endurance. Pitching endurance is the biggest difference between today's pitchers and what we saw 5-10 years ago.
What is the secret for this pitching endurance? You're probably thinking that they do a lot of cardio work.
Truth is, what you think is cardio work like running a few miles isn't what they do at all. That's not pitching specific and will NOT contribute to pitching performance much.
The superior conditoning they do is very pitching-specific. The more generic you are in your training, the less benefit you will get from your workouts.
Be specific, pitching specific that is. That's how you achieve such high levels of pitching awesomeness!
