What to expect when you come to THE THROW CENTER
The Throw Center will put you into your natural throwing groove and you will be able to throw pain free and injury free.
In December 2009 in Tucson, AZ Coach Price will give a lecture at the NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION convention on the following items:
CAUSE/PREVENTION OF SHOULDER INJURIES
Including labrum and rotator cuff injuries including the
fractured humerus
CAUSE/PREVENTION OF ELBOW INJURIES
Including the UCL injury, bone chips in the elbow, the
dead arm after throwing and the inflamed and swollen elbow.

Sasser Syndrome
Throwing from your natural throwing groove will take care of even minor soreness and minor pain and give you better control & velocity when throwing or pitching and more power at the bat.
HITTING AND THROWING IS JUST ALIKE
There are many ways to throw a ball, but only one correct way
Major League baseball and doctors claim the cause of the "injury epidemic" today plus the many "Tommy John" surgeries taking place daily is caused by overuse in a player's youth. MLB and doctors claim they came to this decision after studying thousands of cases of injuries that includes kids still not in high school. This theory of overuse does not touch the fractured humerus injury.
Hall-Of-Fame pitcher, Sandy Koufax did not pitch until his senior year in high school when his sandlot coach put him on the mound because he threw so hard. After only 12 years in MLB, Sandy Koufax left the game with traumatic arthritis in his swollen left elbow. The Throw Center contends that his elbow problem came from overuse as a youngster. His elbow problem came from an error in his pitching biomechanics and no one corrected his throwing form or helped him find his natural throwing groove. The Throw Center has helped others with the same problems find their natural throwing groove and are now throwing without stress or pain.
Minor soreness or fatigue after throwing is an indication you are not in your natural throwing groove. When throwing overhand or pitching, minor soreness can lead to more radical soreness. Continuing to place stress on the elbow or shoulder when throwing could lead to a diagnosis of tendonitis, bursitis and possibly to arthritis. This could even lead to surgery to relieve the pain when throwing. Your form needs to be corrected immediately before continuing to throw. Every player has a "natural throwing groove".
The Throw Center has developed a dynamic throwing tool called the "Natural Throwing Groove Training Ball" (NTGTB). You learn fast and it's very user friendly! With this ball you can put yourself into your own "natural throwing groove" and eliminate all pain when throwing...even after an injury or surgery. A catcher that had Mackey Sasser problems for five years contacted me after his coach had moved him to left field. Within ten minutes of working with the "Natural Throwing Groove Training Ball", he was throwing like a major league catcher or infielder! It is easy and fast with amazing results!
