It is "Tim Lincecum workout program".
People want to know what type of workout Tim Lincecum used to win the National League Cy Young Award.
When people find out that Tim uses video analysis to fine tune his athletic ability, they voice dis-belief to me. People want to hear that gifted athletes like Tim Lincecum have a newly revolutionary workout routine.
These gifted athletes pay attention to detail. Their athletic bodies have indicators (check points if you will) that will set off little "red flags" when something feels out of the norm. Video analysis allows them to identify the source of these "red flags". Once the source(s) is/are identified, correction can occur.
One of my patients/clients (A.K.) underwent a video analysis with me. Some specific mechanical flaws were identified. Specific instructions were given to A.K. and his father. A.K. implemented the instructions and came back for a repeat video analysis. Before the video was reviewed, A.K. said some magic words... "My arm feels EFFORTLESS."
I knew from those words, without even looking at the video, that A.K. had made the appropriate changes to his mechanics. A.K. was describing what Tim Lincecum and his dad refers to as "dangle".
At the time of this post, it is mid-November. That means there is approximately 3 months before spring baseball "officially" starts. If a preteen can make changes in his mechanics that feels "effortless", don't you think you or your pitchers could? Don't you think you or your pitchers SHOULD?
There is an old saying, "you can pay me now or you can pay me later." Some people identify this saying with money. However, this saying has a whole different connotation when it comes to sports performance...
You can prevent an injury now (and improve performance) or be treated for an injury later.
