As I said before, I believe we're past the point of no return. Kids/parents just want to throw gas tomorrow and the next day and the next day until the arm blows then they'll just get the surgery and move on.

Agreed, what’s funny though is most come back throwing harder…why? Because they have time to focus on increasing strength in bodyweight.

When I tell parents that their hs kid needs to get their bodyweight to min 2.5xheight in inches and really to 2.75 to really be able to throw with high intent safely…I get looks like wtf. It’s the same look I get when they ask me for strength metrics and I give them the reverse lunge and box Squat velocities
