Mindful Command! The way your body works … • Your mind is hardwired to keep your centered between your feet. • The instant your mind senses any weight shift, your mind tells your body how it must move to get your weight back to center. • Actions only occurs after your mind believes your weight is centered between your feet. Productively Sustainable Release Windows When, at the top of your front leg lift, you fool your mind into thinking your weight is centered between your feet (a combination of Pro Pitching Institute “Building Blocks” 1-5), you’re able to come out of your front leg lift throwing the ball through your target (Pro Pitching Institute “Building Blocks” 6). The act of throwing the ball through your target causes your body to rotate down the mound. When you rotate, because your weight is no longer centered between your feet. Your mind demands you get your front foot back on the ground. The instant your foot plant interrupts your lower body rotation, your mind instantly self-corrects your imbalance by whipping your throwing arm forward and across your body and your throwing hand through the same tiny release window on every pitch. Your Unpredictable Release Window Your front leg lift forces you to shift your weight from the rubber toward the plate. As your body moves from back-to-front, your mind use your throwing arm to slow your movement down the mound. Once your front foot gets back on the mound, your legs center your weight between your feet.
