Annapolis, Maryland – 3X Coaches BIO:
At a young age Gus Kaplanges was on the fast track as a catcher under the watchful eyes of Orioles Scout Walter Youse but young Gus took a ride on a dirt bike in between games during a double header that proved to be a determining factor for Gus to become a coach. He wrecked on that ride and blew out his ACL and PCL. The year was 1974 and back then they had no idea how to fix that injury. Although young Gus kept trying to come back from this life long injury, he just never was the same. He had a coach, Ray Yannuzzi Sr. Young Ray was assigned as a little brother to George Herman Ruth, while growing at the Orphanage, Saint Mary’s Industrial School for Boys. Coach Yannuzzi impressed upon Gus in 1968 how important it is to pass the game down to the younger players behind us. Coach Yannuzzi kept telling young Gus that he had a knack for coaching. Coach Yannuzzi always encouraged young Gus, along with other coaches like Cal Ripken Sr, George Henderson, and Ken Kincer who gave Gus his first Head Coaching job. After blowing out his knee at a young age those mentors would often say “Gussie you are great a giving the game away. Keep Coaching.” Coaching is his calling.
Gus Kaplanges has been coaching Baseball players for over 40 years now. He has been a Ground Up Skills (GUS) training practitioner and instructor ever since his roots in Boxing influenced his mindset to search for “Why” and “How” energy production is directly related to the sequence of the explosive strength in quick-twitch movements needed for the “knock out” punch. His education as a Chemist enabled him to ask himself the deeper, thought-provoking, questions pertaining to the catalysts and in understanding the Kinetic Chain principles. When he and Brent Pourciau met each other years ago, it was obvious they were immediately on the same page for finding the “knockout punch” in baseball. Gus attributes the current revolution in baseball instruction of ground forces and the kinesiology of the kinetic chain in baseball movements to Brent Pourcieau’s 3X Programs along with Rich Dunno’s King of the Hill ground force development device which you will find yourself training on within the 3X System.
