Every pitcher is unique, with their natural movement patterns and a personal way of expressing those movements.

A successful throwing and rehab program should focus on these individual motor preferences rather than rigidly prescribing distances, schedules, or exercises.

By respecting these preferences, pitchers can fully tap into their strengths, rhythm, and physical attributes, allowing them to organise their movements optimally.

Maintaining natural movement patterns is crucial for success. It enhances a player’s perception, leading to improved overall performance. This is rooted in the ‘Perception/Action Cycle,’ where every movement is a direct response to what the body perceives.

When pitchers embrace their natural motor tendencies, they build confidence in their own style and movement flow. The goal of a well-designed throwing program is not to force pitchers into a strict system but to allow them the freedom to develop naturally.

Movements shouldn’t be overly controlled—they should be expressed naturally. Pitchers who rely on their inherent movement patterns can reach their full potential without feeling restricted by strict techniques or external influences.

Respecting natural movement not only helps pitchers develop trust in their abilities but also fosters confidence that cannot simply be taught. Free movement expression is key to the success of any pitcher.
