I totally understand, I was sitting right where you are today searching for anything to help me increase my velocity. It sucks! Every time you get on that mound you are trying to throw the ball away from the hitter instead of right at him. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was always trying to learn different pitches, so I wouldn't get hit so hard. I was constantly changing my arm angle to get more movement on my ball, so I wouldn't get hit so hard. I even pitched one game where I used a different arm angel every single pitch, so I wouldn't get hit so hard. Not only did my arm kill me the next day but I had more walks than strikeouts and when all this failed I went back to trying to throw the ball perfectly at the knees or just off the plate, so I wouldn't get hit so hard. This worked until I would miss and leave it over the plate and a rocket would shot past my head. This is when I lost it and was fed up with getting hit so hard that I went insane. I wanted to throw so hard, so bad, that when I would pitch, I would grunt and almost scream be- cause I was wiping my arm so hard to the plate. I would literally swing my arm out of my glove, be- hind my head and then pull it across my body to the plate as hard as I possibly could. It looked like my arm was ripping off my body. Everyone who saw a picture of me pitching would cringe in pain. I learned quickly that if you are trying to throw hard and you don't know what you are doing then dis- aster is just around the corner. Disaster came when I was 18 years old and I had ruined my arm be- cause of the combination of stupidity and an insane desire to throw harder. I had just signed a full scholarship to a top level Junior College and was pitching in the opening day game. The moment my rotator cuff tore was like out of a movie. I was hiding the pain with pain killers and I also had to hit my arm in between innings so I would feel the pain of the punch instead of the pain coming from my throbbing arm. It was the fourth inning and I was trying to win my first college game when some- thing felt like it exploded in my shoulder. My arm completely went limp and I could not move it. My heart was beating so fast that I thought I might pass out. I looked at my coached and said some- thing was wrong. He brought in relief and I went to the doctor. I had torn my rotator cuff and needed surgery immediately. After surgery and my rehabilitation, I was told by every single doctor that my career was over. I would be able to throw again but never as hard as I was throwing before the in- jury which was about 85 MPH. I was crushed and went into a serious depression. 4 You think the pain of getting hit around hard or walking the runners in during a big game is tough, just image what it would feel like if a bunch of doctors told you that your career was over at 18 years old! It was devastating. I didn't understand why this was happening to me when all I was trying to do was increase my velocity so I could compete at the high school and college level. This was the biggest most significant moment of my life and what it taught me is what I want to give to you here. What if I told you that you could reach your velocity goals and throw the ball past hitters? What if I told you that you only need one pitch to dominate in high school and college? What if I told you that you could throw gas without having to worry about destroying your arm? What if I told you that you could feel like Superman on the mound? What if I could give you the secrets to velocity TODAY and you could start seeing MPH's TOMORROW? I am sure that you would lose your mind like I did when I discovered them. I will never forget the day that I discovered the first velocity secret and could not believe that no one knew about it and when I discovered the next velocity secret, once again, no one knew about it. I thought I was dreaming! My life made a complete 180. I went from total depression to feeling that incredible drive to not only pitch again but throw heat! When I started using these secrets I couldn't believe that these well respected Doctors had no idea what they were talking about. I also could not believe that I was going to not only play again but I could reach my goals and dreams of playing professional baseball. I could now see 90 MPH and I knew how to get there. I am sure you are wondering why I have the secrets and no one else does? I think about this everyday and it blows my mind. I have theories about this but I do not want to fill this book with them. What blows my mind even more is that those who find my website pass up the opportunity to download this FREE book or purchase the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Program.
