The Yips: A Love Story

Beware Of The Cult Of Average
admingoole0104@goole.com2026-04-24T09:10:58-04:00At the ARMory we study OUTLIERS so my players can become THAT GUY! While science seeks to find common denominators among the normal, it propagates “The Cult of Average.” Average is a code word for mediocre, and that is not our goal at The Florida Baseball ARMory.
Anatomy Of A Pitcher’s Hip Hinge: First Move Nuance
2026-10-09T16:03:06-04:00A well-executed one-legged hinge is vital to increasing impulse and improving velocity. But, not all hinges are the same. The single-leg hinge must be nuanced to link the athlete’s hardware to his software. This requires an in-depth investigation and appreciation of each athlete’s unique physical characteristics and movement preferences.
The Anatomy of “Lead Leg Blocking.” It’s Corruptive And Has To Go!
admingoole0104@goole.com2026-10-09T15:59:08-04:00The bottom line is this: Pitching is like picking up chicks. The first move is critical. You have to get the first move right, or you probably don’t have much of a chance.
Impulse And The Little Glutes: The Most Important Contributors To Pitching Velocity
admingoole0104@goole.com2026-06-02T07:43:34-04:00To change a movement, you have to change the mover. To stabilize the back leg (thereby increasing impulse) the athlete must have enough mobility to get into a position that optimizes the length-tension relationships in all of the muscles surrounding the hip.
It’s Time For A Revolution in Throwing Rehab
2026-04-24T09:10:59-04:00The UCL, Labrum, and rotator cuff aren’t the most highly vascularized tissues, they do receive some blood flow, and therefore under the right conditions, they are capable of remodeling themselves to resist the stresses under which they are placed.
Justin Verlander: “I’m A Stuff Guy”
2026-10-09T16:13:01-04:00The first thing Justin Verlander said to me is “I’ve got a problem. In my start today, I was sitting at 88-‐91. That’s not going to get it done. I’m a stuff guy. I’ve always had great stuff. I’m not the type that will be ok learning to pitch in the low 90s. I need to get my velocity back."
ARMory Guy Gained 24 mph in 3 Years and Got a D1 Power 5 Scholarship
2026-10-09T16:14:52-04:0024 mph in just over three years? For some, that may seem unrealistic, but gains like that are not uncommon here at The Florida Baseball ARMory. They happen so frequently that we’re no longer surprised. We’re always thrilled, but never surprised. And with the right individualized training plan, they can happen for anyone, including you.
Why It Doesn’t Take 10,000 Hours
2026-04-24T09:10:59-04:00When an athlete achieves the mobility necessary to maximize his length-tension advantages and then finds the synchronous co-contractions to fully optimize the contractile and elastic properties of his muscles, he accomplishes his goal and his body naturally wants to do that again. His natural instincts take over and he is compelled to move in the same manner again and again. When it clicks, it stays.
Is How You Learn A Skill More Important Than What You Learn?
2026-04-24T09:10:59-04:00It turns out that HOW you learn or refine a skill like hitting, throwing, or pitching is more important than WHAT you actually learn. We have emerged as an industry leader in applying this leading-edge motor learning science to baseball training.
