Don’t be afraid of the dark 🤫🌑

Don’t be afraid of the dark 🤫🌑

Once again: intentions shape movements. But if an athlete has too much movement variability, it can create inconsistencies that hurt performance. 

In this session, Will wanted to clean up his changeup. It was extremely inconsistent and, honestly, just wasn’t a good pitch. He was trying too hard to slow it down, and it wasn’t coming out of his hand the same way twice. Variability in training is important, but random variability isn’t the goal. 

As soon as Will started throwing the pitch aggressively, it began to “stick” to his hand more consistently and gave us a much clearer picture of what was actually happening. Using slow-motion video on an iPhone, we noticed his middle finger was taking over and hooking the ball, which was contributing to the inconsistency. 

We made a small adjustment by shifting a little more pressure to the index finger and BOOM... now we have useful information and a pitch we can continue to build from. 

Intentions shape movements. Once Will stopped trying to guide the pitch and started throwing it aggressively, the movement became consistent enough to identify the real issue.

Intentions shape movements. 🔑🔓

Vinnie’s slider always had good sweep and depth when he threw it with conviction as a chase pitch. But the second his intention shifted to “just land it for a strike,” everything changed. The pitch would flatten out, back up, and get hit during the season. 

A lot of people immediately jump to grips or mechanical changes when this happens. And yes, sometimes those things matter. But if the intention behind the movement isn’t right, you can end up fighting yourself. Your body organizes around what you’re trying to do. 

When Vinnie tried to guide the slider into the zone, his movement patterns changed. The hand slowed down, the direction changed, and the pitch lost the violent shape that made it good in the first place. 

The fix wasn’t reinventing the pitch. It was getting him committed to throwing the slider aggressively again and trusting that the movement would take care of the rest. Once the intention changed, the movement changed with it. 

Intentions shape movements. Don’t ignore that when evaluating pitches.
