I’m 80 and so much of what you’re saying is very true. Improper “coaching” destroys a lot of young kid’s arm for the sake of winning the next game (no matter the cost!)…but, to realize the real reason all you need to do is “follow the money trail”, guys! When you put that $$$ carrot stick out there, both coaches & young athletes want to imitate their MLB superstars who just so happens to have signed a million dollar contract with a $250k signing bonus (just out of HS) or …or $500m/6yr contract, etc. These are life-changing propositions that most kids have no ability to handle…being “coached” in high school by men who want to be known for developing more players for college recruiters than anyone else on the planet. The seed is planted that MONEY is everything….”go for the gold” mentality. Thus, in many unplanned cases the “love of just playing a game” has been totally overlooked and it has become “all about the money”…IMHO. I’m not saying 100% of all coaches (in all HS sports actually) are guilty of this, but I believe you’d be amazed at how high the number is IF it was actually known. And while I’m at it…Football is even worse! You’ve got HS teams now not even wearing knee pads & cutting the pants off ABOVE the knee!!?…and wondering why there are so many season-ending injuries…one after the other? C’mon man! A team can be losing 40-0 in the last 2mins and you’ve got a bunch of guys doing a choreographed end zone dance because one of ‘em just intercepted a pass!!?? And you see 8-10 yr old Little Leaguers doing the same things! It’s a sad case, brothers….but I applaud your efforts to bring these points up. Unfortunately, the die is cast…but maybe, just maybe there are some men out there who will pay attention and save a few of these kids BEFORE the next level of sharks prey upon them with cash in their pockets! God bless you, my friends.

Calvert Hall High School in Maryland does this to their pitchers. It's a bunch of old men that are the coaches there and they have that old school mentality to ride their best pitchers into the ground. Multiple arm injuries across the board there. Sadly alot of these kids there are D1 caliber pitchers but by the time college comes around alot of those kids arms are cooked.
@theartofpitching16 күн бұрын
That is very unfortunate. That is just another of many reasons why it is imperative to find a team to back you like AOP does to help navigate those difficult years.

So how long should they rest between seasons? And what kind of training do they do during the off season?
@theartofpitchingАй бұрын
It really depends on circumstances. There are many different factors to take into account. Rule of thumb would be post season a 1-3 week de load is always good. Once that's completed a return to throw build up program. Thank you for watching!
