			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3951" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" title="3sps" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2011/08/3sps-287x300.jpg" alt="Off-Season, Pre-Season, In-Season Pitching" width="287" height="300" />What you need to know about the 3 seasons of pitching. In today&#8217;s game baseball has lost control of its seasons. Most youth and even up to the professional ranks have eliminated the off-season program all together. They spend most of their time moving from pre-season to in-season and then back again. This is a destructive path to follow if you want to move up levels of the game and have a long productive career.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, game time spent on the mound is priceless but to much of it can become a major problem. My mother always said everything in moderation is healthier. This is the same for anything. The problem with spending to much time on the mound, during game time, and not enough time developing yourself in an off-season program is that you make yourself more susceptible to injury and you limit your ability to grow and develop. ASMI has already done the studies on how high pitch counts per game and even per season are being ignored and that this is a reason why arm injuries are so high. The lesson to be learned here is that not enough youth, high school, college and even professional pitchers are separating their seasons into a moderate divide of a growth and development program, a load building program and a maintenance and recovery program. These programs are the foundation of what I like to call the 3 season pitching system.<span id="more-3950"></span></p>
<h1>3 Season Pitching System</h1>
<p>These three seasons should be a staple part of all pitchers yearly pitching cycle. Those pitchers who only using a 2 or 1 season system are limiting their ability to enhance performance and prevent injury. Sticking to this 3 season system will promote success in all levels of pitching.</p>
<h2><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3388" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" title="3x-pitching-product" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2011/05/3x-pitching-product.jpg" alt="Off-Season Pitching Program" width="258" height="281" />Off-Season Pitching Program</h2>
<p>The Off-Season should be around 3-4 months out of the year. Preceding your Off-Season program you need around 1-2 months of complete rest from any type of exercises. You should focus on nutrition and good sleep. This means going to bed at a good time and logging about 8-10 or more hours per night. This type of sleep should be consistent all year long.</p>
<p>Once your Off-Season begins it should include the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Dynamic Warm-up</li>
<li>A total Strength and Conditioning program based around an 8 week cycle to build speed, strength and ultimately power.</li>
<li>Joint integrity program to develop your small muscle groups like your rotator cuff.</li>
<li>A throwing program that complements your strength and conditioning program to help program the new motor coordination around good pitching mechanics.</li>
<li>Anaerobic conditioning program to promote speed and power movements through a full range of motion along with building your ATP buffer.</li>
</ol>
<p>Remember your Off-Season is focused around increasing performance without using a high volume of throws. This is the most effective season to increase velocity.</p>
<h2>Pre-Season Pitching Program</h2>
<p>The Pre-Season program should be around 1-2 months out of the year. The foundation of the program is transitioning your training from a speed, strength and power development program into a speed, strength and power maintenance program so you can begin to build your pitching workload. This means you will need to begin to increase your volume of throws as you decrease your resistance training.</p>
<p>Once you begin your Pre-Season program it should include the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Dynamic Warm-up</li>
<li>1-2 days per week of higher rep and lower resistance training. Workouts should incorporate more medicine ball training than barbell training.</li>
<li>Joint integrity program to maintain strength in your small muscle groups like your rotator cuff.</li>
<li>A throwing program to begin increasing your volume of throws with mound time as you gradually build up to your In-Season pitching rotation.</li>
<li>Anaerobic conditioning program to continue to increase your ATP buffer while providing some speed and strength maintenance.</li>
</ol>
<p>Your Pre-Season program is a transitional period in the year where you must effectively convert your Off-Season program into your In-Season program. You have less time to make this happen, so you must work hard and smart to make sure your Pre-Season program works with your team practice schedule and gradually builds you up to your In-Season workload.</p>
<h2>In-Season Pitching Program</h2>
<p>The In-Season program should be around 3-5 months out of your year. This program is built around your pitching workload. This is your pitch count requirements based on your rotation. If you are a starter or a relief pitcher, your In-Season program should be scheduled around this rotation. The foundation of the program is to continue to maintain speed, strength and power with a major focus on recovery. The better pitchers are able to recovery faster between appearances. A good In-Season program would promote this recovery.</p>
<p>Once you begin your In-Season program it should include the following:</p>
<ol>
<li>Dynamic Warm-up</li>
<li>Med Ball strength maintenance program or weight training maintenance program.</li>
<li>Anaerobic conditioning program to support speed, strength and power maintenance and also to promote increased ATP buffering.</li>
<li>Joint integrity program to maintain strength in your small muscle groups like your rotator cuff.</li>
<li>Throwing program to help promote motor coordination synchronization without a high volume of throws.</li>
<li>Nutritional and supplementation guidelines.</li>
</ol>
<p>The goal of your In-Season program is to maintain your Off-Season gains, as long as possible, while promoting a quick recovery between appearances.</p>
<p>TopVelocity.net currently has an Off-Season program which is the 3X Pitching Velocity Program. I am developing an pre-season and in-season program. Stay tuned!</p>

Sorry to bust your bubble but it takes a lot of hard and smart work to develop it. If you are looking to gain 4-5 mph on your fastball then you must work to improve in all facets of pitching. These facets include:<span id="more-1574"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Efficient and effective pitching mechanics.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>An explosive fast twitch focused total body.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Proper nutrition and supplementation.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>A healthy mental approach and faith in something greater than yourself.</p></blockquote>
<p>I understand this news can be overwhelming and a buzz killer but if gaining velocity was easy and could come in a pill form then everyone would be doing it and 90 plus mph would become average. If you want to be extraordinary then you must live to be extraordinary. Listed below are some links to get you on the right track to developing velocity, that you are so determined to obtain, in such a short period of time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1245" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" title="pain" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2009/02/pain.jpg" alt="pain" width="285" height="380" /></p>
<p>So you have pain in triceps or biceps or both and it has more than likely been hurting for a while. You are searching the web for answers because you need this pain to go away so you can get back to business. I get it! I was you!</p>
<p>When I had this problem and I couldn&#8217;t find the answers to a quick fix of the problem, I just looked for ways to hide the pain. I was taking Advil almost everyday and I started to have to take tons more of it because the pain was getting worse. The pain first started in my elbow and then it moved up my bicep into my shoulder.</p>
<p>It got so bad that I had to take the maximum dose of pain killers, along with icy hot and in between innings, I had to hit my arm so I would feel the pain of the hit and not the pain coming from my throbbing arm. This was the day that my rotator cuff tore and my career completely stopped. I was shocked and depressed, at this time in my life, because I had let the pain get so bad, that it ended my career.</p>
<p>I am writing this article here to help you because I wish someone would have helped me at that point in my pitching career when the pain first started. If you have pain in your lower, or upper bicep, or your lower or upper tricep and maybe even in the back or front of your upper forearm, you are overusing and abusing your arm. If you have anyone or all of these pains, then you need to stop and listen to your body.</p>
<p>Pain is your bodies way of telling you that something is wrong. Pain does not just go away. It will only get worse, like it did in my career, if you do not make some changes immediately. Unfortunately, you should have not waited this long to make the changes but better late than never!<span id="more-1244"></span></p>
<h2>Why the Pain?</h2>
<p>Here is a list of possible reasons you have pain in your arm.</p>
<ol>
<li>Inflammation of soft tissue due to pattern overload of the joint. Here is a great article to learn about <a href="http://topvelocity.net/pattern-overload-a-major-cause-of-pitching-injuries/">pattern overload and pitching</a>.</li>
<li>Bone spurs or bone to bone contact.</li>
<li>Muscle or tendon damage.</li>
<li>Pain caused from twisting or torquing the hinge joint of the elbow. This is due to poor mechanics.</li>
</ol>
<p>I believe that most arm pain is the sign of not just one thing but a few. It usually is the cause of poor mechanics, poor joint integrity (strength and conditioning) and overuse. Most pitchers who have this pain, all they need to do is address one of these issues and the pain will usually go away if there is not damage to the muscles, tendons or bone. Fixing all three of these issues, will not only remove the pain completely, but it will also increase performance. Most performance can be enhanced by more effectively distributing the stress of the sport through the body effectively, instead of putting it all in the arm.</p>
<p>In my career, if someone would have told me that all you needed is a program that will teach you to pitch with pitching mechanics that will take away your pain and in return will help you increase your velocity, I would have done a back flip. This program exists and it is called 3X Pitching. This program is what I learned and developed when I fought to overcome my career ending injury because I didn&#8217;t listen to my body. You arm pain is caused mainly by poor mechanics and overuse. The 3X Pitching Velocity Program will teach you how to use less of your arm and more of your body. This will allow you to pitch pain free, so you can focus on getting better. This program will also develop you as an elite athlete, so your body can handle a lot more stress than what you are currently conditioned to endure.</p>
<h2>Steps to Pain Relief</h2>
<p>If you are serious about fixing your arm problems and you do not want to go down the road to destruction like I did, then follow these steps to relieving your arm of this abuse.</p>
<ol>
<li>Take a few weeks off from throwing if possible.</li>
<li>Ice your arm to start the healing process. <a href="http://topvelocity.net/why-pitchers-should-ice-their-arms/">Read this article on how to ice your arm</a>.</li>
<li>Visit a medical professional who can examine your arm for serious muscle, tendon or bone damage.</li>
<li>Start eating better. Eat more protein.</li>
<li>Purchase the 3X Pitching Velocity Program and start learning why you are abusing your arm. Start the strength and conditioning program to start building joint integrity.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>BONUS TIP:</strong> Learn about proper pitching pronation. This mechanical adjustment can have an immediate effect on arm pain. Read this article to learn more, <a href="http://topvelocity.net/proper-pronation-prevents-pitching-pain/">Proper Pronation Pitching</a>.</p>
<p>This will get you on the right track and will definitely save your career. If your pain sounds like the pain I had before I tore my rotator cuff then I suggest you contact me above and tell me about your pain. I will advise you if you need medical help! Best of luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After my almost career ending rotator cuff injury, I decided to devote myself to understanding the body so I could somehow find a way back to the game I love. What I learned was I had bad mechanics as a young pitcher. I also learned that I did not train enough or when I trained it was completely wrong. I also learned that my diet was that of a dog and not a diet of a high performance athlete. It is important, as athletes, that we eat the balanced diet we have been told about all of our lives. We avoid listening to these words of wisdom because we eat what we want to eat. The reality is most young athletes have not faced a career ending injury. If someone was to tell you that you could avoid any serious injury in sports and prolong your career as an athlete, if you eat 5-6 servings of vegetables a day, would you do it? <span id="more-1188"></span></p>
<p>The reason we need 5-6 servings of vegetables a day is because the natural whole food vitamins and minerals are essential to all of our muscular functions as an athlete. It is also essential to muscle recovery. Read my article on <a href="http://topvelocity.net/pitching-nutrition-and-supplements/">Pitching Nutrition and Supplements </a>to learn more on this topic.</p>
<p>Here is a product that offers you 5-6 servings of vegetables in a pill form.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2009/01/coach1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1514" style="float:right;margin:5px;" title="coach1" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2009/01/coach1-300x200.jpg" alt="coach1" width="300" height="200" /></a>Ultimately your pitching Coach is your boss. If you piss him off, there is a good chance you may be out of a job. The problem is if he is a BAD pitching coach, he could jeopardize your career. It has happened many times before. The key is to keep the Coach happy, while you find the best support you can, to help influence your career.</p>
<h2>What makes a BAD pitching Coach?</h2>
<p>Someone who has no experience in playing the position at the top levels of the game, or someone who has no certified education of how to coach the position.<span id="more-1164"></span></p>
<h2>How can a BAD pitching Coach effect a pitcher?</h2>
<p>Pitching takes a tremendous amount of muscle coordination. The body must naturally understand how to build maximum momentum and torque, to deliver an above average fastball to a specific location. It is a pitching Coaches job to guide the pitcher to reaching his athletic potential. This takes an expert understanding of the position and the athlete. If the pitching Coach is far from an expert then the chances of him being a guide to the pitchers athletic potential, is very poor. This could be detrimental to a young pitchers career because promoting bad mechanics, due to the lack of experience or education, will decrease velocity and cause injury. It happened to <a href="http://topvelocity.net/about/">Me</a>.</p>
<h2>What are the signs of a BAD pitching Coach?</h2>
<blockquote><p><strong>1)</strong> No experience in the top levels of the game.</p>
<p><strong>2) </strong>No certified education in the world of pitching and athletic training.</p>
<p><strong>3) </strong>A poor understanding of Physics Driven Pitching Mechanics.</p>
<p><strong>4) </strong>A poor understanding of the physiology and psychology of his pitchers.</p>
<p><strong>5) </strong>Over throwing his staff of pitchers.</p>
<p><strong>6) </strong>Discouraging his pitchers from using a strength and conditioning program.</p>
<p><strong>7) </strong>Forcing his pitchers to throw more breaking balls than fastballs.</p>
<p><strong>8 ) </strong>Using Long Distance running to build endurance in his pitchers.</p>
<p><strong>9) </strong>Excessive amounts of long toss.</p>
<p><strong>10) </strong>A poor warm-up and dynamic stretching routine.</p>
<p><strong>11) </strong>Not educating his pitchers on proper athletic nutrition and rehabilitation.</p>
<p><strong>12) </strong>Not educating his pitchers on the mental game.</p>
<p><strong>13) </strong>Uses a lot of poor conventional wisdom to coach his pitchers.</p></blockquote>
<h2>What are the signs of POOR conventional wisdom of pitching mechanics?</h2>
<p>These are old techniques of pitching, that have been proven throw science, to decrease velocity or cause injury.</p>
<blockquote><p>This would be Coaching the pitcher to:</p>
<p><strong>1) </strong>Take the ball out of the glove and reach it to the sky.</p>
<p><strong>2) </strong>Get into the T position. Glove hand to target and ball to center field.</p>
<p><strong>3) </strong>Pull the glove hand in hard to your body, while pulling the throwing arm down to throw.</p>
<p><strong>4) </strong>Kick the back leg up high after release. He may even use a chair for the pitcher to kick his leg over, after release, to force this bad pitching mechanic.</p>
<p><strong>5) </strong>Keep your landing leg bent at release. Do not let it straighten!</p>
<p><strong>6) </strong>Pull your head down hard during pitch.</p>
<p><strong>7) </strong>Wipe your arm.</p>
<p><strong>8 ) </strong>Slam your chest into your landing leg.</p>
<p><strong>9) </strong>Move your arm faster.</p>
<p><strong>10)</strong> Drive your glove hand to the target.</p></blockquote>
<h2>How to PLEASE a BAD Pitching Coach?</h2>
<p>I will be the first to tell you that this isn&#8217;t easy. Due to the high percentage of BAD pitching Coaches in all levels of the game, ever pitcher will deal with a BAD pitching Coach a few times to many in their career. The best way to deal with a BAD pitching Coach, without him having an effect on your career, is not to avoid him but to please him. Here is some TIPS that will help.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>1) </strong>Do whatever he says when he is looking and then do what you think is best when he isn&#8217;t looking.</p>
<p><strong>2) </strong>Study the game, the position, physics driven mechanics and strength and conditioning. Become your Coach.</p>
<p><strong>3) </strong>Do not let him catch you educating the other pitchers. Especially if he is a HOT HEAD.</p>
<p><strong>4) </strong>Do not screw around when he is around you.</p>
<p><strong>5) </strong>Do not talk bad about him to other players.</p>
<p>This is the MOST IMPORTANT TIP:</p>
<p><strong>6) </strong>You must IMPROVE.</p></blockquote>
<p>The hardest thing that any pitcher or athlete must learn, is that it is a rare case for you to find a Coach that will propel your career to the top levels of the game. This is because, they are just as concerned about their job, as you are about your job. So if you want to make it as a professional one day, you are going to have to knock down a lot of doors. You will always find support but the only person that is going to help you get their is yourself. I will leave you with this quote from Nolan Ryan.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Pitching in the big leagues is a dream. Preparing to pitch in the big leagues is a nightmare.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1025" style="float:left; margin:5px;" title="Marlins Dodgers Baseball" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2009/01/40887832-228x300.jpg" alt="Marlins Dodgers Baseball" width="156" height="206" />When we rest as pitchers, during a game in between pitches, it is important that we restore our ATP. This can take up to three minutes to completely restore. More ATP in our system means more explosive energy in our muscles. The problem is in between innings we usually get a lot more than three minutes. This means we have more than enough time for our bodies to replenish ATP. The question now becomes when does our bodies begin to shut down and cool off? This happens once your heart rate drops to a resting heart rate. Those of us who have done this understand that this causes our arms and bodies to stiffen and grow sore. When this happens we must start over again and perform a proper warm up to prevent injury. In the heat of the game, warming up again usually doesn&#8217;t happen. So we jump back on the mound with that sore, stiff arm and our endorphins take care of the pain. This over time will end a career.<span id="more-1024"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1027" style="float:right; margin:5px;" title="8983" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2009/01/8983-300x240.jpg" alt="8983" width="300" height="240" />When our heart rate drops to a resting heart rate <strong>vasoconstriction </strong>occurs.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Vasoconstriction </strong>is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contracting of the muscular wall of the vessels. When blood vessels constrict, the flow of blood is restricted or slowed. It is the opposite of vasodialation, the widening of blood vessels.</p></blockquote>
<p>This means the muscle are not being pumped with enough energy and nutrition or being flushed of waste from performance. At this point it is not a good idea to jump into the heat of battle. For example, if a race car had run out of oil or fluids and it hit the race track at full throttle, this would be a disaster for the car.</p>
<p>The best way to prevent your body from shutting down and cooling off between innings is to watch your heart rate. Keep your heart rate from resting to long. Your body temperature will help you measure this. If your body is cooling off then you need to get up and stay warm with resistance bands or easy short sprints. You do not want to fatigue, only keep warm. Wearing a jacket will also help keep the body warm especially the arm. Notice boxers always wearing warm clothes. Pitchers should do the same. Also take this time to put fluids, electrolytes and glucose back in your system. This with vasodialation from keeping your body warm will help replenish your system. I recommend sports drinks like Vitamin water mixed with regular water as a good source for these supplements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hate to be so pessimistic but the reality is the younger generations are lazy and not held up to the standards of the past generations. Our society today is a lot more open to excepting mediocrecy than hard work and achievement. The only reason competition continues to improve is because of the global infiltration of baseball. The game is now full of Latino&#8217;s, Asians and Europeans. I am writing this article to hopefully motivate the younger generations of America to wake up and get moving. Here is one of my favorite quotes. You should read this every morning.<span id="more-883"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows that it must out run the slowest gazelle or it will starve.</p>
<p>It does not matter whether you are a lion or gazelle. When the sun comes up you had better be running.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>One of the biggest mistakes young pitchers make is not educating themselves. They usually do not like to read, especially for more than a few seconds, so I will list the rest of the steps in an ordered list to try and beat their short attention spans.</p>
<h1>Biggest mistakes young pitchers make:</h1>
<p><strong>1. They DO NOT exercise their brain like their body.<br />
</strong>They know nothing about pitching mechanics, joint integrity and nutrition. They leave it up to their parents or coaches.<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>2.Ã‚Â  They DO NOT stand up for success. </strong><br />
They follow the leader. If everyone is slacking, then they are slacking.</p>
<p><strong>3. They DO NOT keep the BIG Picture.<br />
</strong> Life has a time limit. Do not miss your window of opportunity.</p>
<p><strong>4. They DO NOT establish routine or disciplines in their young lives.<br />
</strong>They do whatever feels good or whatever everyone else is doing.</p>
<p><strong>5. They DO NOT warm-up before playing or practicing.<br />
</strong>They show up for practice or a game just before it starts.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>6. They DO NOT take care of their arm or body after a pitching performance.<br />
</strong>They go home and take a hot shower and eat a bad meal.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>7. They DO NOT make adjustments when things are not working.<br />
</strong>They just get frustrated and continue to beat their head against the wall.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>8. They DO NOT stay after practice to improve their mechanics or run some extra sprints.<br />
</strong>They can&#8217;t wait to run home and get on the phone or play video games.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>9. They DO NOT take the blame for their mistakes.<br />
</strong>Everything is someone else&#8217;s fault.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>10. They DO NOT thank their Coaches and Parents for supporting their careers.</strong><br />
They act like it is just their job to do this for them.</p>
<p><strong>11. They DO NOT push their limits.<br />
</strong>They think being average and lazy is cooler than being good and dedicated.</p>
<p><strong>12. They DO NOT listen to their bodies.<br />
</strong>They continue to play when their arm is saying, &#8220;Stop!&#8221;<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>13. They DO NOT eat, sleep and breathe baseball.<br />
</strong>Baseball is just something they do after school.<strong></strong></p>
<p><span style="float:left;margin:5px;"><!--adsense--></span><strong>14. They DO NOT spend more time playing ball than playing with the TV or computer.<br />
</strong>They have poor hip rotation because their body has adjusted to sitting down, instead of running around.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>15. They DO NOT eat healthy foods.</strong><br />
They are addicted to fast food and soft drinks.</p>
<p><strong>16. They DO NOT understand that to be a good pitcher you must be an exceptional athlete.</strong></p>
<p>If you are a younger pitcher and reading this, I hope that you do not make most of these mistakes. If you do, I hope that this motivates you to make a life change. Even if you make some of these mistakes I hope you are motivated to make a life change. If you have read this far, this is confidence that you maybe just making that life change at this very moment. Please use this site to guide you during this transformation. Don&#8217;t forget the quote above.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #ff0000; text-align: center; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;">What is the TOP Pitching Program in the World for Gaining Velocity?</p>
<p style="color: #ff0000; text-align: center; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;">THE ACE PITCHER HANDBOOK</p>
<div style="width: 100%; margin: 0px 0px 0px 100px;"><a href="#add-to-cart"><img class="size-full wp-image-2732 aligncenter" title="ace-pitcher-handbook" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2011/02/ace-pitcher-handbook.jpg" alt="Ace Pitcher Handbook" width="395" height="361" border="0" /></a></div>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 20px;"><strong>ADD 5 &#8211; 10 MPH TO YOUR FASTBALL IN 16 WEEKS OR LESS . . .</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 20px;"><strong>DON’T LISTEN TO THE HATERS. YOU WILL THROW HARDER..A LOT HARDER.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 20px;"><strong>I GUARANTEE IT!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>This program is proven to add 5-10 MPH on your Fastball.The Ace Pitcher Handbook is THE training guide to the brand new – cutting edge <a href="http://www.topvelocity.net/3xpitching/">3X PITCHING</a> approach to velocity enhancement!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>&#8220;This handbook includes all of the valuable information that I collected, discovered and used to overcome shoulder surgery, pitch in professional baseball and top out at 94 MPH after doctors told me I would never pitch again.&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p><span id="more-58"></span></p>
<div style="border: solid 1px black; background: #e2e2e2; padding: 20px;">
<p><strong>To the dedicated Pitcher,</strong></p>
<p>I have one question for you:</p>
<p>1. Have you ever wondered why, no matter what mechanical adjustments you make or how hard you train or which programs you follow, you still have just “average velocity”, or even worse&#8230;poor velocity?</p>
<p><strong>If this is true, then you&#8217;ve come to the right place.</strong></p>
<p>You see, on the very page you&#8217;re reading at this very moment, I&#8217;m going to reveal to you the one reason why every velocity enhancement program you’ve used up to this point has never worked for you.</p>
<p>And then, I’m going to tell you about the most important “velocity enhancement” solution ever discovered to transform you way beyond “poor” or even “average velocity” to the exact place you want to be, 90+MPH.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>WARNING: This is NOT a gimmick—if you’re simply looking for another “hypey”, quick fix, then I’m afraid you are NOT on the right website. But, if you’re looking for REAL solutions founded on REAL discoveries and cutting-edge strategies, then the information I’m about to share with you may be the most important velocity enhancement program you’ve ever followed.</strong></span></p>
</div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">The Problem:</span> Conventional Wisdom</h2>
<p>Conventional wisdom are beliefs that are widely accepted but may not always produce the desired results. There are pitching coaches all over this country who have different levels of experience, from the pro levels to no experience at all. The problem is not their experience but the information they are teaching you.</p>
<p>Coaches who use conventional wisdom to coach pitching mechanics cause more problems than good. Arm injuries have gone up 700% in the past 10 years. The majority of high school and college pitchers have poor leg and core strength, along with poor mechanics. Here are some common coaching tips of conventional wisdom which may be the reason you are not getting better or staying healthy.</p>
<p><strong>Common Coaching Tips of Conventional Wisdom:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;Get on Top of the ball.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Finish out front.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Bend your back.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Break your hands later.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Elbows to the sky.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Lift your leg high.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Pull down to release.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Get your elbow up early.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Point your Glove&#8221;</li>
<li>and my favorite, when all else fails, &#8220;Just Through Strikes!&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">The Truth:</span> The Pitching Mechanics that you have been taught along with your training program is making you WORSE!</h2>
<p>If the above conventional wisdom phrases are all too common to you then you have been the victim of conventional wisdom. This is why you have average to below average velocity. This is why you may experience chronic arm soreness or have had an arm injury. This approach to pitching will not make you better. It could most likely end your pitching career short of you reaching your goals.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="#add-to-cart"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1572" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" title="BuyNow" src="http://up.topvelocity.net/uploads/2009/06/BuyNow.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="191" border="0" /></a>The Solution:</span> The Ace Pitcher Handbook.</h2>
<p>I was in the same position you were in my career. The problem was, I was having arm surgery and doctors where telling me my career was over. What I learned was that conventional wisdom had failed me along with all of my previous coaches. I knew like you that I needed answers and I needed them fast.</p>
<p>This is when I discover and developed <strong>3X Pitching</strong> and <strong>the Ace Pitcher Handbook</strong>. Without this information my career would have ended at this point in my life. With this information and the training programs, my career was saved. It helped me not only reach my velocity goal of 94 MPH but it helped me play minor league baseball.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 18px;">How would it feel to be above 90MPH?</span></strong></p>
<p>To get there, you must move away from conventional wisdom and the coaches who teach it and open yourself up to the latest scientific information that has revolutionized sports and sport performance. You also need to be willing to look into other sports for answers and not just baseball. This is the approach I took when I discovered and developed the Ace Pitcher Handbook. This is also a similar approach that the legendary Jim &#8220;The Rookie&#8221; Morris took when he overcame 9 arm surgeries to throw 99mph and play Major League Baseball. Listen to the interview I had with Jim here:</p>
<p><a href="http://topvelocity.net/jim-the-rookie-morris-interview/">Jim “The Rookie” Morris Pitching Secrets Interview</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;">Enter The 21st Century Solution to Velocity:</p>
<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Introducing the Ace Pitcher Handbook </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Do you want to throw 90+MPH?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Do you want to intimidate hitters with your fastball?</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Do you want to make scouts notice you?</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Then the Ace Pitcher Handbook is the velocity training manual that you need!</strong></p>
<p>The Ace Pitcher Handbook has over 10 years of experience and knowledge of what it takes to increase the level of your game to that of a professional athlete. This handbook focuses on Velocity because Velocity is what gets your foot in the door. It is the single component that all scouts use to assess the value of a pitcher.</p>
<p>Why waste your time buying anything else to increase your performance than a handbook that has all of the answers and the programs listed in the manual are what I used to beat all of the odds? If you are someone who loves the game but needs some more juice in your fastball then you must purchase this book.</p>
<p><strong>What is Included in the Ace Pitcher Handbook?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>3X Velocity Mechanics.</li>
<li>3X Velocity System developed by Brent Pourciau (This workout is a 16 Week Cycle and trains the pitcher to develop the motor coordination of the 3X Mechanics).</li>
<li>Pitching Guidelines.</li>

<li>A FREE promo code to all the 3X Velocity System and the Fusion System Instructional Videos for learning the programs at www.BaseballVideoStore.com.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Why should you purchase the Ace Pitcher Handbook?</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>You have a short window in your career to prove yourself and this handbook will give you an edge that your competitors will not have.</li>
<li>You will gain 5-10 mph on your fastball if you complete the entire handbook with all of its training programs and drills.</li>
<li>You are paying for over ten years of knowledge, developed by a professional pitcher who overcame a career ending shoulder surgery as a freshman in college to play minor league ball and top out at 94 mph, for only $49.99.</li>
<li>This handbook will give you an understanding of pitching that most coaches do not have.</li>
<li>This handbook will turn you into a pitcher that every coach wants and every hitter hates.</li>
</ol>
<p>If that isn’t enough to convince you then I will give you my personal phone number here in my home town in Louisiana 985-377-9249. Call me anytime with any question!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;">You Don&#8217;t Have to Take My Word for it!</span></p>

<p><em>&#8220;Daniel Pitfield signs with the Spring Hill College Badgers for the new season.&#8221; </em>www.shcbadgers.com</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Daniel will be a starter this season and is a valuable addition to the team.</em>&#8220;<strong> Coach Frank Sims SHC</strong></p>
<p>Daniel Pitfield never stopped chasing his dream, even after being cut every year from his high school Baseball team. After he graduated from high school, Daniel Pitfield trained long and hard for one more chance at his dreams. He was selected to play with AIST at the Prague Baseball Week Tournament in Prague Czech Republic. He beat the Czech Republic National team to win the Prague Baseball Week. ESPN pick the Prague Baseball Week as #7 of the top 10 Ultimate Baseball Experiences in the World. Coach Franks Sims was the head coach and was so impressed by Daniel&#8217;s ability, that he signed him to an athletic scholarship to play for the Badgers the next season. Daniel is currently a freshman starter for the Badgers&#8230;&#8230;</p>

<p>What if Daniel would have settled or been satisfied with never making his high school baseball team because of his poor velocity? He would have spent the rest of his life wondering&#8230;what if! Instead he committed to 3X Pitching with the Ace Pitcher Handbook and gained an amazing 10mph in 6 months. This is what got him the opportunity to show his skills in Prague, which earned him a very expensive athletic scholarship to a well respected college.</p>

</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Josh Favaloro Signs with </em>Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College<em>.&#8221; </em>www.thesttammanynews.com</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Josh is a talented athlete. We are looking for him to pitch and play the outfield.</em>&#8221; Coach Gary Rath MGCCC</p>
<p>Josh Favaloro, RHP Northlake Christian HS (LA). He was named to Top Prospect List in the Fall Louisiana Showcase. He was also first team all District his Junior year. He is going into his senior season.</p>
<p>When Josh started <strong>3X Pitching </strong>with the Ace Pitcher Handbook, he was mid to high 70&#8242;s and was changing schools in hope he would get a better chance to play high school baseball. By the end of 3X Pitching with the Ace Pitcher Handbook, Josh was mid to high 80&#8242;s and his coach said he saw him hit 90 a few times. He is currently the Ace Pitcher at Northlake Christian High School for his senior season.</p>
</div>
<p>Josh was concerned about his chance to play high school baseball when he first started the program, better yet he never thought he would be playing college baseball one day. When his fastball increased over 10mph with 3X Pitching many doors flew open for him, and he is still reaping the benefits of the velocity gains today. This program gave him the boost that he needed to not only become the Ace Pitcher on his high school team, but it got him a scholarship to play college baseball, even before going into his senior year.</p>

<p><em>&#8220;When I started your program I wanted to quiet half way through it but I stuck in there and the benefits have been more than I could ask for. I went from 72-86mph in one year. I was cut from my high school team every year before your program and after your program I was offered a scholarship to play in college. I couldn&#8217;t have done it without this program.&#8221;</em> -<strong>Daniel Pitfield</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Thanks for all you do Brent. I’ve gone from 68-70 MPH to 85-88 MPH in about ten months and I couldn’t have done it without you. I really appreciate it and hope I can repay you someday. Thanks!&#8221;</em> &#8211; <strong>Drew Clement</strong></p>
