šØ NEWS FLASH: We work on speed too. š
We just might have a different definition of what āworking on speedā looks like.
At SPA, we absolutely believe velocity matters. We measure it. We train it. We set goals around it. We use strength training, Rapsodo, pitch design, movement patterns and individualized development to help our athletes throw harder.
But weāre also going to build the FOUNDATION that allows an athlete to create that speed efficiently, consistently and safely.
Because throwing hard is great.
Throwing hard with command, movement, deception, multiple speeds and the ability to compete?
Thatās pitching.
And while college softball is changing rapidly, we will never measure the value or development of a young girl/woman by how much scholarship money someone is willing to give her.
Our job isnāt to develop a dollar amount.
Our job is to develop a PITCHER and PERSON.
Build the foundation.
Develop the athlete.
Teach her to understand her body.
Teach her to understand the ball.
Teach her how to compete.
And yes⦠THEN LETāS THROW GAS. š„
Speed matters.
Itās just not the only thing that matters.
Train with purpose. Compete with confidence. Lead with character.
