Everyone wants to know how to have better command.
How do you get better at putting? How do you get better at free throws? How do you get better at playing FIFA? How do you get better at darts? How do you get better at billiards?
By doing it.
And then eventually you’ll start to understand how to aim better. Your brain will figure it out.
When you’re putting, you might have to give it more break, or maybe you like to play with more speed and hit it to the back of the cup. I don’t know.
Maybe when you’re throwing on the mound and you’re missing arm side, you should just change your direction. Turn your foot, act like down-and-away is a foot outside. And now when you aim there, you miss down and away, instead of missing up and in.
You have to find where your release point is and how that’s going to feel. Lay on your bed, or lay in the grass, and just throw the ball up over and over in the sky, and feel that thing off your fingertips. Then the next day, take it into your throwing session. There’s my release point, there it is.
If you can repeat your release point, you’ll probably get better command.
There’s no magic sauce.

“We take our own approach when it comes to finding the path for you. We start with a full body assessment and then determine your body’s capacity. We find ways to go back to the basics and find a way to turn the brain off and just play. We have more of a holistic approach compared to the industry. Our favorite thing is to throw gas and win on the mound and mold players to do the same thing.
“We’ve helped hundreds of players gain velocity, get rid of anxiety, create confidence they never thought they would have, look at baseball in a different lens, and much much more. We are trying to help people gain perspective on what they are trying to accomplish. We are just helping shape real humans that want to keep playing baseball.”
