✈️ Idaho Pitching Clinic Recap: Development, Nostalgia, and Building Future Arms

This past weekend I had the opportunity to run a pitching development clinic in Burley, Idaho for players ages 11–14 — and the experience was both productive and personal.

I flew into Twin Falls, which instantly brought back memories. As a freshman, I spent a season pitching at the College of Southern Idaho — and the return to this area reminded me how much of my own foundation started right here. Driving through the Idaho scenery on my way to Burley gave me time to reflect on how far the journey has come — and how much I enjoy helping the next generation take their first steps.

🔥 Clinic Breakdown: 2 Days of Focused Player Development

Day 1: Foundation First

We started with a 2-hour session focused entirely on the basics that matter — stability, mobility, and building a warm-up routine that actually prepares the body to throw.

• Pitching-specific activation and mobility work

• Focus on shoulder stability and hip control

• Individualized adjustments to basic throwing mechanics

• Drill work aimed at helping each athlete begin to find repeatability and rhythm in their delivery

Day 1 was about understanding how to prepare and how to move — not just how to throw.

Day 2: Deeper Work and Data-Driven Adjustments

The second day was 4 hours long, and we used every minute to dig into individual needs.

• Athletes went through ArmCare strength and balance testing

• We identified weak links in the arm, shoulder, or movement patterns

• Each player received custom drill plans to work on the areas that would give them the biggest return

• Throwing sessions were focused on building rhythm, timing, and mechanical efficiency for each individual

At the end of the day, every player left with access to a custom training program through the ArmCare app, so they can continue developing with real structure — not guesswork.

📈 Why This Matters

At ages 11–14, habits are forming — good or bad. Clinics like this give young players the tools to:

• Warm up with purpose

• Move more efficiently

• Train smart, not just hard

• Build long-term strength, mobility, and throwing confidence

And with objective ArmCare data behind the training, they now know where to focus — not just what feels hard.

🧢 Looking Ahead

Huge thanks to the Burley community for the great turnout and enthusiasm. I’m excited to keep building these events and watching players take control of their development.

If you're a parent, coach, or program director interested in bringing this type of clinic to your city — reach out. We’re just getting started.
