    Pitching Injuries: Avoid These Two Lower Body Mistakes

    I found my inspiration for this first episode from an excellent article about the dangerous state of pitching injuries.  While there were many differing opinions on why injuries are on the increase, I thought it was time for me to talk about how I solve injury issues and arm problems on a day-to-day basis in my work as a pitching motion troubleshooter.

    You will be learning about specific errors in the pitching motion that render a pitcher more vulnerable to injury and hopefully, new ways to look at your pitchers.
