Players, coaches and parents ‼️
Got stiff hips?
Most of the time it has zero to do with bony anatomical structures
What can it be?
Fascial Adhesions
Let’s break it down!!

ACT, dont REACT
Action is ALWAYS faster than REACTION
ALWAYS
My JUCO coach used to say: “Great infielders don’t react. They adjust.”
Anticipate the pitch. Read the hitter’s swing. Know what’s coming.
Our SS and 2B even alerted the corner infielders to off-speed pitches.
A million Baseball IQ by Walls!
One of the biggest problems in player development is that we’re prioritizing movement SPECIALIZATION over global movement competency
One develops a player who can execute one skill
The other develops an ATHLETE who can adapt to different plays
More movement options is 🔑

He’s like Yoda .
‘My son had a HS/Legion coach who was EXACTLY Murph. After years of hitting tweaks/chat in the dugout he hit almost .500 his senior season , led the state in RBIs at a few points and ended up a game from State .
Great coaching matters so much in baseball.

My JUCO coach used to say: “On every play! Know the speed of the hitter AND the runner on 1st.”
Fly ball with less than two outs?
Don’t automatically take the easy out.

I’ve noticed a pattern in baseball players experiencing shoulder pain.
Many have been instructed to “throw over the top,” regardless of their natural arm slot.
Are we overlooking individual movement variability by prescribing ONE throwing pattern?

If perfect mechanics were enough…
they wouldn’t disappear in games.
So why does a player look great in lessons, but stiff and inconsistent under pressure in the game?

Youth baseball has a development problem‼️
Kids master drills… not movement.
So when the game speeds up:
late swings, off-balance throws, stiff defenders.
It’s not a mechanics issue.
It’s a movement skills deficiency.
Build the athlete first.
⚾ Move Better. Play Better.

That’s why we built Baseball Flows.
To give players the movement capacity mechanics depend on:
• Balance
• Coordination
• Sequencing
• Rhythm
• Flow
All in 15–20 minutes.
