The Illusion of Specialization
This past weekend I saw several tweet threads pertaining to Latin American baseball players and why they are so successful. The arguments centered around external environmental factors such as longer playing seasons, warmer weather, more practice time and a dedication to being baseball specific. Some argued that players in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Puerto Rico take 3X the [...]

Inside Pitch vs Outside Pitch
Opinions vary but there are only two types of pitches, inside and outside. When I explore “the pitch” I look deep inside the brain for answers regarding its origin and composition. I look for specific components and principles that regulate the flow of information inside the hitter’s brain. That is what I call an inside pitch. An outside pitch [...]

Don' Trust the Spin
So so many coaches and instructors are teaching pick up the spin of the ball if you want to be a great hitter. They think that the spin is what the hitters brain is using to predict where and when the ball will cross the plate. Unfortunately for them and their players time spent [...]

Major League Step for V-Flex
With opening day just around the corner, I'm tremendously excited about our upcoming season in the Major Leagues.

Trisha Ford is one of our biggest advocates, she began using V-Flex when she was at Fresno State University in 2015. The Bulldogs put up some impressive numbers [...]

R&D Pays Off....
Research and development never stops at V-Flex. On my recent trip to Arizona I made a deal with the Asst. Director of Player Development for the Rangers, Paul Kruger, to exchange our new overhand model for our first generation V-Screen. We've come a long way since 2013. The clarity and precision that our new VX-4 [...]

Rangers & Padres Pitchers Begin V-Flex Training
The Texas Rangers and San Diego Padres are moving the performance bar by becoming the first MLB organizations to invest in implicit training for pitchers. Eric Gagne is a recent hire by the Rangers organization and he will be working with the Ranger pitchers in AZ this season. He toed the rubber and began [...]

The Limits of Cognitive or Mental Skills
The human brain works on many levels and all to often people mistake the mind for the brain. This causes great confusion and chaos in the training industry. The brain can see things that the eyes and cognitive mind can't. As a matter of fact, our perceptual reality arises from the brains interpretation of billions of bits [...]

Overcoming the subjective nature of sports marketing is difficult. It requires credibility be built upon non-bias data and product performance. Four recent additions to [...]
