National Pitching Midwest Associate Coach and UW-Stout Pitching Coach Ryan Christenson will lead this 8-week class for pitchers. All athletes will learn skills that will enhance their overall arm health, efficiency, and velocity. Coach Christenson will screen, test, assess and train each athlete for point in time velocity, for functional strength and weaknesses that are impacting elite performance. Training will target each athletes mechanical inefficiencies, provide training protocols to correct weak points as well as improve athleticism.

​

Each session will include 1 hour of customized National Pitching programming targeting skill work, mechanics drills and arm strengthening exercises.
