My daughter is getting ready to start high school fall ball and will be playing 16u next summer. She played 14u the past two years and has had two really good seasons. She is the little girl that used your weighted ball program and got her speed up to 51 mph as a 12 year old, and now she has had some 58 mph pitches as a 14 year old."     Lynn Pace, Marysville, TN     Why Should You Listen To What Coach Zawrotny Has to Say?      First, allow me to introduce myself.  My name is Steve Zawrotny and I'm a former college baseball player, coach, and current Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).   I do private bat speed and pitching instruction in the Oklahoma City, OK area.      In addition,   I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Brigham Young University (BYU)  and a Masters in Business Management from  Lesley College I am a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)  I'm the inventor of the BIG Z Power Training Bat & co-inventor of the Designated Hitter Pitching Training System, named "Best in Show" at the 2007 American Baseball Coaches Association national convention I'm a clinician and speaker who has presented my specialized training information to coaches all over the US and in Europe I'm the author of four best-selling training booklets and numerous training articles      I've been a keen observer and student over the years as to how the body functions in athletic competition - particularly baseball and softball.  All of this has come in handy as I've worked with hundreds of players, from Little League through pro baseball.      I’ve been around baseball for over thirty years as a player and coach – I’ve even been an umpire. I also played some high level softball for several years. In the process I’ve talked to dozens and dozens of scouts and among the things they’ve told me is that few things get their attention like an awesome throwing arm.       It doesn’t matter what the position - on the mound, behind the plate, infield or outfield - a strong throwing arm gets you noticed.  Of the "Five Tools," a really great arm is the one scouts see the least.      "All of the advice you have supplied either in your emails or the programs we have purchased have made my daughter a much better softball player. The strength & conditioning program cleared up her shoulder problem that she has had for several years."     Jim Dancause, Mountville, PA        But it doesn’t have to be this way…      A lot of kids run fast, and "good" hitters in high school and college are a dime-a-dozen. It seems like everyone hits .300 or .400 these days, and for two big reasons: Metal Bats, and pitchers with      MEDIOCRE ARMS!     Like I said, it doesn’t have to be this way. While it’s not easy to develop an awesome throwing arm, the process is actually fairly simple. What you’ll learn in this program has been proven both in a clinical setting and on the field. But before we go any further, you must understand this key point :      WEIGHT LIFTING DOES LITTLE TO NOTHING TO IMPROVE THROWING VELOCITY       If you want to lift weights, go ahead.  I write training programs for my private baseball and softball clients all the time, and I've written a separate baseball/softball specific strength and conditioning program that you can learn more about with a visit to my ebay store.       My program will safely and effectively get you ready to play your game, and is designed to work in conjunction with this throwing workout.  Just be sure whatever program you use is designed by someone who knows both baseball/softball and biomechanics.       But don't expect your increased strength to do much for your throwing (or hitting, for that matter).      WHY?  Because to improve one's softball skills, such as throwing or hitting, your workout must be closely related to the act of throwing or hitting.  Sport-specific strength is developed by movements with resistance or assistance that imitate the joint action of the skill - SPECIFIC RESISTANCE TRAINING.      This is one of the key reasons why weight lifting does very little to improve softball performance.  This "general" strength one develops with weight lifting contributes very little to actual  on-field success.  But even more important is the fact that      Weight lifting the wrong way often leads  to arm injuries, and who needs that?  Remember, baseball is a POWER game, not a strength game, and strength and power, while related, are NOT the same thing      In the SOFTBALL PROGRAM TO CONDITION ARM & INCREASE THROWING VELOCITY, 2nd Edition. I show you what DOES work. This unique workout is based on two key conditioning principles – SPECIFIC RESISTANCE TRAINING and PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD. ATTENTION SOFTBALL PLAYERS:  This program increases velocity for  both overhand AND underhand (windmill) throwing.  While there are obvious differences in technique between fastpitch pitching and overhand throwing,  this program works because it is NOT dependent on throwing mechanics.   The muscles and tendons used in both types of throwing are strengthened  and developed by these same training principles.  The conditioning effects  that lead to increased throwing velocity occur regardless of the type of  throw being made.       These two principles MUST be employed in any program to increase throwing strength.  You’ll be given clear instructions for:  - Reps and sets for each throwing workout – no guessing  - Complete and thorough directions for all aspects of the program (it really is simple, but boy, does it work!)  - The proper weight of balls to use – and yes, a regulation 6.5 oz softball is one of them      So, if what you're looking for is a proven way to INCREASE YOUR ABILITY TO THROW HARDER, the SOFTBALL PROGRAM TO  CONDITION ARM & INCREASE THROWING VELOCITY, 2nd Edition,  has been shown repeatedly, by both clinical research and on-field performance, to be the most effective, state-of-the-art approach to accomplishing this goal.         How much fun would it be to regularly and consistently throw out base runners who just aren’t used to seeing the kind of throwing arm YOU'LL possess? No easy scoring with YOU in the field!   What if you could improve your low 50s fastball and get it into the high 50s? You'd become an "overnight" star!  How might YOUR future change if your high 50s fastball hit the 60+ mph barrier? How would YOU like to be the Pudge Rodriguez of your league, where no one dares to steal  when YOU'RE behind the plate?       If you haven’t experienced the thrill of changing the face of a game with your arm, you’re missing out on one of the best parts of playing!  With my guidance, you can accomplish these kinds of things, as have the many baseball players who have already used this program.  I'm giving you all the information you need, including this - Special Bonus #1      No arm workout to build throwing strength would be complete without specific advice and instruction on how to keep the Rotator Cuff healthy and strong. Too many careers have been cut short due to serious problems with this structure.
