how do you feel about the theory of the wall. the supposed block that your body hits not allowing you to surpass it. does anyone believe that everyone has a certain wall they hit for velocity?

This is like believing in Murphy's Law. This is a great topic for debate but I always try to avoid this negative mindset. When I was doing what ever it took to reach my velocity goal of 94mph, I not only developed a program to help me do this, which is the 3X Pitching Velocity program, but I was also reading all of the motivational books that I could find. Stories like Roger Banister and the 4 minute mile is what changed my life. Things started happening to me that I could only dream of. If you take a perspective in your career, that everything ends with a "Wall," then you are destine to fail, in my book!

Well what I believe isnt "can I do it" its "will i do it". There is no wall if you believe and work on it. Work and see the results!

Hmmm, I have this weird theory in my mind. You may not get it though, but here goes. What would happen if an irresistable force (for example, a cannonball that cannot be stopped by anything) met an immovable object (for example, a wall that cannot be moved by anything? Nothing would happen because the situation is impossible. They cannot coexist. If a force is irresistable, there cannot be an object that is immovable. Conversely, if an object is immovable, there cannot be a force that is irresistable. So what I'm saying is a wall that doesn't allow you to surpass it doesn't exist if you're motivation is "irresistable". Even if your body has reached its potential and cannot be surpassed, the mind will never be surpassed and even if you never gained anything physically, you will definitely feel like you have accomplished something either way.

I like it! Thoughtful stuff.

 

Never liked the idea of a "genetic limit" for velocity. Everyone thinks they are at it, while they are really nowhere close. It's definitely not a helpful idea, and causes people too limit themselves far too much, which is why I think the idea should be disregarded.

Good stuff, Z! I had 3 well respected Doctors tell me that I would never play competitive baseball again after my rotator cuff tear because I didn't have the eligibility in college to recover from this injury. They believed this because they said it would take me a few years to just throw again and if I had the desire, it would take me another good year to get back to the college level and even if I was able to get this far they said I had no guarantee that my shoulder could handle pitching at the college level again. I refused to listen and I proved them wrong because I refused to believe in limitations. I learned that the human body can recover from and do anything it believes in. The problem is most people do not believe!
