I didn't mean to imply that this coach you're talking about was a hello elbow person. I'm not sure if that's how you took it. I was only making a point that someone being "certified" is only as good as the person doing the certification, and assuming that coach is doing things the way the "certifier" would want. As I've said before a few times, this is why I've never done or been a part of a certification program: I'd have no way of knowing if the person I "certified" is actually doing things the way I would want, while using my name to drum up business. For me, it'd require a lot more oversight than I'm willing to do.Certified with Courtney Hudson out of Alabama... Mycoachology on Instagram. I didn't mean to make it like she was some Pitching guru my point was the trainer had SOME decent pitching base and knowledge NOT HE.
We did a Zoom with Courtney Monday night and it was eye opening.
Furthest thing from Hello Elbow - She studies Body Mechanics - And the trainer focuses on Strength, Core and Balance weakness geared toward pitching and those movements
She pointed out small issues to focus on Arm whip / Stride leg TIMING!!!, Getting that front leg down with Intent!!! and Hand/finger release which seemed too late.
Small issues but major Speed killers... and it helped on the spot and gave us a better plan of attack.
She's also certified with High Level Throwing/Pitching and worked with Wasserman who we took a clinic with.
I'm truly glad you found a coach who is helping you and opened your eyes to some things. I don't know Ms. Hudson but it sounds like you found a great coach. I'm happy for you guys.
