Clinics and talks
This off-season I'm running free clinics for New Jersey high schools, travel programs and leagues. I take two a month through March, first come, first served.
Every session is built on my forthcoming book, Baseball Player's Guide to the Winning Way, and on more than twenty-five years of strength and conditioning work, including with the Toronto Blue Jays, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and USF. No sales pitch, no fee.
Three formats
Coaches' night
For a league's managers or a high school staff. Keeping young arms healthy across every team a kid plays on, using pitch counts and rest the right way, and running practices that keep kids playing instead of standing in lines. Every coach leaves with the one-page Whole-Arm Ledger to hand out the next day.
Team clinic with a parent segment
Fifty-five minutes with the players: an arm-care warm-up they can run themselves, first-step speed, and practice games that make the skill show up on Saturday. The last twenty minutes are for the parents: how to help without taking over a kid's dream.
Parent night
What actually develops a ballplayer, and what parents are paying for that doesn't. Specialization, showcases and the arm. Questions until the questions run out. Every family leaves with the free starter kit.
For coaching clinics and conventions
I'm available as a speaker for coaching associations, clinics and conventions. Three talks, each 45 to 60 minutes:
- Arms That Last. Off-season strength and arm care for the 13-to-18-year-old pitcher, reading fatigue, and the throw counts nobody keeps.
- Play More. What the research says about how great players are made, and how to design practices that look like it.
- Numbers a Kid Keeps With a Pencil. Measuring development instead of outcomes: the Joy Score, process grades and the Whole-Arm Ledger.
What I ask in return
Nothing up front. If your program finds the session useful, I'll ask for a short note saying you'd like copies of the book for your players when it's published. That's it. It helps me show a publisher that coaches want this book.
Request a date
Tell me about your program and a few dates that might work. I'll answer within two business days.
