Has Live arm For Now

Pretty good outing for a pitcher stepping open and dropping arm glove side which increases rotary inertia and reduces hip rotation even more than he already does.

How Can I Improve My 60 YD Dash Time?

Nick asks

Im going to a prospect camp for baseball in exactly 2 months and i need to get faster before then. I play pitcher and corner outfield and im kinda slow, not afraid to admit it. In addition to trying to lose weight between now and then, please let me know if you know any good exercises to help me boost my speed. Thanks.

My response

The old Soviet sports program taught us the easiest methods to improve sprint speed without a bunch of equipment.

Along with form running on a level surface, use a 5 degree decline to sprint downhill and backward sprint back up the hill. Repeat in 10 minute sessions.

Another Use For Dr. Bill Harrison Developed Fine Centering Soft Centering

Besides using Dr. Harrison’s techniques to improve visual acuity, focus, and depth perception for athletes’ use in games and improving tracking for readers in the classroom for years, I’ve now applied them to shooting a handgun more accurately.

I began by taking one of my handguns, a Glock 19, and made a few simple changes to the rear and front sight. On the rear sight I used a yellow highlighter to change its factory color from white to yellow. This keeps from washing out the front sight that is also white and helps to bring the focus directly to the front sight which is where the shooter should have his focus anyway.  

Next, I narrowed and fine tuned the focal point on the front sight by adding a vertical center line in the middle of the sight with a fine point orange Sharpie pen. I realize that is an old sniper trick, but by combining it with Dr. Harrison’s visual techniques…including depth perception drills, this quickly improves finding the perfect focal point on the front sight exponentially.
