@@oochase-7446 make sure to stretch!!!! when i didn’t stretch i’d pull my arm so bad, starting doing stretches and it wouldn’t happen that much, just look up arm stretches on yt
Quick tip for anyone having pain in the crease of your arm, make sure when you are about to pitch bring your arm out and around in the circle it helped me a lot
I’m 28 years old and threw long toss with my dad for the first time in years. My arm is done! It was a great time bringing back memories with my dad though. I played for 14 years as a kid
Baseballer_AJ Dang that's awesome! Even thought you can't hit dingers, you're very close and you will be very successful in the future! Keep doing what you're doing and one day your dreams will come true. You might even be in the hall of fame!👍 Congrats
All around my biceps hurts terribly and i have practice everyday where it only gets worse. My coach tells me that i need to get through it but i dont know if it is going to get any better. What do you recommend?
There's a difference between sore and pain. If it's pain, I would see a doctor and get it looked at to be safe. I'd also take a look at your throwing mechanics. You're probably doing something incorrectly leading to that pain
I'm curious about the ice research you read about. You talked about having blood flow is a good thing, and the ice prevents that, I thought ice increased the blood flow, when a body part is cold, the body rushes blood the area to help keep it warm, has that theory been thrown out the window now?
What are your thoughts on weighted balls and using the to strengthen the arm. I use an 8oz ball with my ten year old. We stretch, warm up with a regular ball then move to the weighted ball. I tell him to only use 80% of his arm and 100% with the legs, hips and shoulders. I'm also mindful of the reps. We'll roughly do 15 at 20 feet, 15 at 30 feet and 15 at 40-50 feet, then go back to the regular ball for a more intensive throwing routine. Too much, not enough? Golf dad trying to develop a baseball player.
I have a 9yr old son who was clocked at 52 at camp this summer. He just had a back to back game day and his arm started to hurt on the 2nd day in the game. I would like for you to see his mechanics to see if there is something he is doing wrong or anything you can help with. Let me know if you can help brother, if not thanks for the video I will use your advice.
If I have pain in my arm it’s usually in my tricep or on the outside of my elbow. The only thing that helps me prevent that is super thorough stretching and warmup. If I do that I’m throwing the whole game.
Hey so is it bad if only when I throw, I feel pain? Like in the inside part of my shoulder? I would also like to point out that I may have a pinched nerve in my back Bc it’s been hurting so that may be compensating. So is it bad?
I found that putting a tennis ball in a pillowcase and stand next to a wall and just massaging it from moving side to side and up and down. Or you can do band exercises like taking a band or something that gives and putting your elbow at a 90 degree angle like a robot and twisting in and out for a couple times!
So i have a pain in my bicep lower shoulder and it starts throbbing every time i throw how do you think i can prevent this from happening after my arm heals
Isaiah Bruhn First off, yea I'm late great... Now, not everyone can get over the fear of leaping and possible injury or getting hit by the ball. If you run in your backyard and try to dive for a ball, your probably going to be a bit hesitant. I know when I played little league, I was never tought even remotely how to dive.
You should avoid diving for a ball because then you have to get back up which takes more time and slows you down from potentially getting more people out
Back room Productions I don't play outfield but I always hear my coaches tell our outfielders your first step is back unless you know it's for sure gonna be in front of you. Otherwise you watch the pitcher throw the ball and watch the ball come off his bat and stay focused.
Just drop step, I don’t play outfield but I have this team I am on, I just moved up to the big field, and this is literally the best coaching I have ever had in my life, there are like 6 different coaches, two field coaches, two outfield coaches, and two pitching coaches, I am being taught if I ever get put in the outfield, and something is hit behind me drop step, my coach told me this story about this highschool team, and it was the last inning, they were winning by 4 and their were bases loaded, the hitter hit the ball behind the outfielder and the defensive team lost the game cause the outfielder didn’t drop step. He couldn’t get to the ball. So yeah
Diane Lewis well, it’s over use of a tendon right? Just take a little break, rest for a little bit. Honestly just make sure you rest until it stops hurting.
If you watch ALL coach Justin's videos he goes through a lot of core drills (medicine ball or something like it)and every one of them will help with that especially when he's hitting off his knees where he completely disengages the legs and it's all hips and proper trajectory of ur cut. Please don't take my advice literally definitely check out for yourself when you got some time to check them out cuz everyone sees what they need even if the video isn't directed exactly at what ur looking for. Kid (cuz I'm much older than coach) is a friggin mountain of knowledge and I've upped my kids game 10 fold cuz the NEW way of teaching is far superior than the old believe that.
where are you getting your research from about not icing. I will never stop Icing after throwing hard. It has always helped. Idk what your talking about.
As I mentioned in the video, if icing seems to work for you, DO IT! I definitely iced from time to time when I was younger. That being said, more studies are coming out all the time suggesting that icing, or icing for any longer than 10 mins, may actually cause slower healing. Here's just a few articles to Google: 1. "The Effect Of Intermittent Arm And Shoulder Cooling On Baseball Pitching Velocity" from Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. 2. "Cold Water Recovery Reduces Anaerobic Performance" from International Journal of Sports Medicine. 3. "Effect of Local Cooling on Short-Term, Intense Exercise" from Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. 4. Topical Cooling (Icing) Delays Recovery From Eccentric Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage" from Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research It's really a personal preference. If it works for you, continue to do it. Nothing wrong with it. It might be worth testing out for yourself how well things like active recovery work instead.
Those are some bad articles you referenced. 1. This article says that if you ice your arm between innings pitched you'll throw faster and have a better recovery. 2. This one says that if you cycle as hard as you can for 30 seconds, rest for an hour, then cycle again for 30 seconds you'll do worse if you submerge yourself in cold water for 15 minutes during that hour. Not exactly the same thing. 3. This one's a meta-analysis that looks at 18 studies and basically finds that "The widespread belief that local cooling impairs short-term, strenuous exercise performance is controversial". It basically says that if you're warming up to play, don't ice your arm as part of your warm up. But icing during short-term high intensity exercise might be a good thing. 4. I'm no physiotherapist, but this one seems to be what you're talking about. It's important to note that this one only involved 11 subjects, though. Also the study itself says "We must note that this study does not provide evidence on whether recovery from pitching-induced muscle damage would be slowed down by topical cooling." Anyway, maybe you're right, maybe you're not, but I'm calling BS on those articles. If that's your best source for this idea, maybe don't sound the alarm on icing just yet.
I have been playing games at baseball camp for the past 2 weeks without resting my arm and then my arm starting hurting and I thought I was throwing wrong but Idk.
my brother was around 10 years old and closed 2 games and started another in 4 days and got little league shoulder and went to the doctor they told him just to rest around 6 weeks but after the 6 weeks he went out to pitch and it still hurt. So we went again and they made him do physical therapy and now he's 13 and he is finally back to pitching. But he can only through about 60 pitches now
i’ve been told it’s not bad, just don’t throw 100% all of the time, save your hard and powerful throws for more important times, i’ve been playing softball for 8 years and this is what my coaches have all told me
hey everyone, whenever(especially in summer) I play volleyball, dodgeball or cricket, my arm starts to hurt so badly. The problem is that it hurt just above the elbow and it's actually the bone that hurts not the biceps or triceps. Anyone know what to do pls???
I went to physical therapy because of damage in my rotator cuff and I was told heat works best that’s what was used in my therapy and you’re right ice feels great but heat actually helps more
I played football at school and threw a deep pass and felt my arm move in a way where it hurt in my elbow and baseball practice came and it hasn’t healed for 6 weeks
im an older pitcher and looking back i did way too much useless throwing...all the warming up etc take a toll...even now as a pitcher im gona do half of what i used to..im gonna limit long toss and limit throwing hard for no reason...spend more time on weights and drills
It's a tough call because some recent studies show that swelling actually plays a key role in healing soft tissue injuries. Swelling brings lots of nutrients, white blood cells, and other things to repair the damage. So much of the traditional wisdom is being questioned right now. Why would you want to stop the swelling if swelling is actually what heals your body? Anyway - interesting topic right now! My advice is always to just listen to your body. If icing seems to work well for you, do it! If you prefer something else, do that. But you're absolutely right, rest is great and stretching is highly recommended as well!
Ultimate Baseball Training While its on yes, but after more blood is sent to warm it. While its on the ice constricts the blood vessels pushing out lactic acid in the muscles so it's very good for you just not over exposure
