3 So you want to throw hard, YOU NEED TO THROW HARDER! 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. This blows my mind because this book and the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Program has the secrets to my suc- cess. It has everything I learned and everything I trained to get me to 94 MPH and a 1st round draft pick into an independent minor league draft at 26 years old.

If you are flying through this book at this point then make sure that you STOP AND READ THIS NEXT PART SLOWLY because this is very important.

5 How much time to do you really think you have to reach your velocity goals and start accom- plishing your baseball hopes and dreams? Do you really think you can just sit there and kick the can down the road to nowhere and expect that one day you will look up and you will have everything you ever wanted? Do you really believe that your faith is enough? That GOD is going to one day bless you with the velocity that wasn't given to you at birth? I am a man of faith and I know these are hard questions but do you really believe that you are doing the work required to make these things hap- pen? I will tell you, from my experience of reaching my velocity goals late in my career at 26 which hurt me because big league teams want to sign guys a lot younger than 26, that you should have started yesterday down the road to success. If you don't start today then you will be that guy who finds himself in a pile of regret when he can't find a team to play for and his career is over. You will be that guy who says, "I could have been good but I hurt my arm" or "My coach is an asshole and screwed me over" or “If I only would have committed to 3X Pitching I would have reached my veloc- ity goals.” I will tell you right now that regret will live with you for a long time. It is a very heavy, un- easy feeling. This feeling is telling you that you failed because you didn't give it your best. I mean who in their right mind can live with that? This is why you must take what I am about to give to you seriously because these secrets and the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Program, mixed with some strong determination, will give you everything you need to reach your velocity goals and make your hopes and dreams a reality.

6 These are secrets to extreme velocity and these secrets should remain secrets. I highly recom- mend that you keep these secrets to yourself. As much as I would like you to send this book to everyone you know, DON'T DO IT. This is because those who will benefit from these secrets are those who have searched hard to find them. Those who are given these secrets or who are not looking for these secrets will not find them even if they are sitting right under their noses. I know this is true because I did not find these secrets until I looked hard for them and neither did you. So spend your time now learning them, implementing them and benefiting from them.

Extreme Velocity Secrets: 1. Triple Extension 2. Separation 3. The Tilt 4. The Force Vector 5. The 2 Phase delivery 6. Stride Length to Stride Speed 7. Strength to Weight Ratio 8. Second Clean 9. Heavy Load Training 10. Anaerobic Conditioning SECRET #1: Triple Extension

I learned this secret from the Olympic lifting world. After the arm surgery, I wasn't getting any better. I even had the same pain from before the surgery. When all of my doctors gave up on me I went to work with the world famous sports trainer, Mackie Shilstone. I got to work with him and some big leaguers at the same time. After six months with his program I still wasn't getting any bet- ter, so he said "Sorry, it doesn't look good for you." This was another big blow to my confidence. After this I ran into one of my high school football coaches who told me that his good friend is the

7 strength and conditioning coach for LSU and that he could get me in with him. I was excited because LSU was winning National Championships like clockwork. When I met Kurt Hester, the strength and conditioning coach for LSU, I knew something was about to happen. After I told him my situation he said to me that if I couldn't pitch then why not work to become the strongest guy on the team and then let's see what happens. He was right, the stronger I got, the more my arm stopped hurting and the harder I started throwing. The first thing he taught me about becoming an explosive athlete was force production. He showed me how train- ing your force production through triple extension made you a more powerful athlete. He left it up to me to figure out how this would transfer into pitching velocity. The amazing thing was it transferred perfectly. Triple extension is the extension of the ankle, knee and hip flexor. This is how athletes move in all directions with power. This is also how pitchers build long and fast strides which is a de- termining factor in extreme velocity.

Read this article to learn more about Triple Extension or 3X: http://topvelocity.net/triple-extension-3x-pitching/ SECRET #2: Separation

When I learned this secret my arm finally stopped hurting. Separation along with triple extension is the foundation of 3X Pitching. 3X Pitching is a revolutionary approach to pitching velocity that I developed from these secrets and will tell you about in full detail at the end of this book. "Separa- tion" is the separation of the back hip to back shoulder at front foot strike. The National Pitching As- sociation has performed studies that has proven this component alone is responsible for 80% of velocity but what they failed to understand that triple extension is the only way to generate optimal hip to shoulder separation.

8 I also refer to this secret as Core Torque. This is because the opposite rotation of the hips to shoulders build torque in the core muscles.This torque will allow your arm to stay relaxed until the cocking phase of the throwing arm. This will prevent putting your throwing shoulder and elbow into the “Red Zone.” This will also allow for more external rotation and forward trunk tilt which will lead to earlier internal rotation. This is all key components of high velocity pitchers.

To view pitchers with 3X and "Separation" at front foot strike go here: http://topvelocity.net/3rd-component-of-pitching/

Read this article to learn more about "Separation": http://topvelocity.net/pitching-torque-and-the-3-pivots/ SECRET #3: The "Tilt"

When I think of this secret, the "tilt," I think of hard throw- ers like Tim Lincecum, Aroldis Chapman and Felix Hernan- dez. At front foot strike these guys look like the they are doing the limbo. Their heads are over their butts and their hips are open towards the target. What the "Tilt" does is cre- ate more hip to shoulder separation because it puts more gravitational force on the throwing shoulder at front foot strike. This is why sidearm or submarine pitchers have lower velocities. They do not create as much core torque as over the top pitchers because their weight at front foot strike is over their belt buckle which is forcing their throwing shoulder to start early.

9 The most effective way to benefit from this secret is to make sure you use it to help you create more hip to shoulder separation. This means it must also be used with triple extension.

Read this article to learn more about the "Tilt": http://topvelocity.net/the-pitching-key-to-torque-is-in-the-tilt/

SECRET #4: The Force Vector

This secret is the key to initiating explosive power through the stride phase. If I could grade these extreme velocity secrets from 1 - 10, 10 being the highest, I would give this secret an 11. When I learned about The Force Vector and its relationship to triple extension, I wanted to lock it up and throw away the key, so only I would have this precious velocity gem. The problem was I am a coach now and it is so vital to helping my pitchers gain velocity that I had to let it out. This se- cret alone will completely change your delivery. It will convert you from a rock slinger into an elite rocket launcher.

The Force Vector has to do with effectively building power as soon as possible in your pitching delivery. Most lower velocity pitchers have a very hard time getting their momentum and speed going early enough in the delivery. The more explosive we come off the rubber, the father we get off the mound and the more that speed transfers into the velocity of the ball.

Unfortunately, I am not going to unlock the full details of this secret in this book. It is so impor- tant that it deserves and entire chapter to itself. If you must learn more then I highly recommend you read the last section of this book. It will tell you want to do from here!

10 SECRET #5: The 2 Phase Delivery

This secret will change how you think which will then change how you pitch. The pitching deliv- ery is extremely intricate and to ultimately understand something you must break it down into its simplest form. This means you must break it down to the point before it becomes unrecognizable. You can point out several important components of the pitching delivery but in its simplest form you can break pitching down into 2 phases. The first phase is called the Stride Phase and the second phase is called the Throwing Phase. During the Stride Phase, which occurs before front foot strike, you will notice that the arm is not doing much but getting into position for the next phase. In the second phase or Throwing Phase, the arm is now the star of the show. It is launched into ac- tion accelerating to the release of the pitch.

Most young pitchers have the mechanics that I had when I was young which prevented me from throwing hard and ultimately putting me under the knife. If you can see the pitching delivery in these two phases and understand that the arm is not active until the second phase this will put you in a better position to learn the effectiveness of Triples Extension and Separation. If you could make this mental adjustment today, you could potentially increase velocity overnight.

SECRET #6: Stride Length to Stride Speed

I am sure you have heard coaches yelling at you your entire career to stride out farther but the secret here is that a long stride is only effective if you are able to accelerate the speed of your body through it. These two factors together are the essence of velocity. The longer you can build your stride, with the ability to fly through it, determines your dominance on the mound. This is because it

11 will not only increase velocity but it will get you closer to the plate. New technology in the game today is uncovering this secret by calculating distance into the velocity of the pitch. They are finding that pitchers who release the ball closer to the plate have the potential to throw harder than those with shorter strides.

Read this article to learn more about Stride Length to Stride Speed: http://topvelocity.net/3d-doppler-radar-launches-3x-pitching/

SECRET #7: Strength to Weight Ratio

The secret here is that most low velocity pitchers can't lift their own body weight. How do they expect to throw hard when they can't even jump over a chair. You vertical is a good determinate of your body's ability to generate power in an explosive manner. How are you going to increase your stride length and stride speed with Triple Extension if you cannot even triple extend fast enough to move your body off the ground? I see this problem almost every day with my newbie's. They come to me wanting to throw harder and then I tell them to jump as high as they can off the ground while I measure their vertical. You should see the look of embarrassment on their faces when they can barely get off the ground. This means that their strength to weight ratio is very low. You should be able to lift 10% more off your body weight in an explosive manner. I don't just mean picking it up off the ground. I mean throwing it up off the ground like with the Olympic cleans. This shows me that you have explosive power in your body. I just then need to teach you how to convert it to velocity, which is the easy part!

Read this article to learn more about Strength to Weight ratio: http://topvelocity.net/stride-length-equals-leg-strength/

12 SECRET #8: Second Clean

This is another highly kept secret of velocity. Dr. Garhammar has been studying the Olympic lifts for years because of their abil- ity to effectively enhance force production in athletes. His studies have shown that the Second Clean or the Hang Clean is by far the most effective lift in training the athlete to generate more power. It is so effective in doing this that no other lift or exercise even comes close. The reason this secret is highly kept is because performing this lift is as intricate as performing explosive pitching mechanics. You must spend as much time learning the mechanics of this lift as you spend with your pitching delivery.

The Second Clean along with all of the Olympic lifts push the limits of the athlete better than any other lift in the weight room. This means if you do not perform these lifts correctly then you can be at risk of injury. Especially, if you are using your arms to perform these lifts. All of the Olympic lifts use very little arm action. They are mainly legs and core dominate lifts. Make sure you learn these lifts correctly before pushing your weight percentages.

This secret and the other Olympic lifts are a critical part of the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Pro- gram which you will learn about at the end of this book.

13 SECRET #9: heavy load training

This secret is almost forbid in the game of baseball. Most would say it is not a secret but it is. When you see how fast your velocity increases through this style of training you will wonder why no one told you how effective heavy load training was to increasing velocity. Many of these secrets exist because the majority of the population is uneducated therefore unaware of its effectiveness.

Heavy Load Training is only effective if it comes with the knowledge of how to train the athlete specific to his sport and position. This means using heavy load training to enhance the performance of a pitchers ability to build a long stride and to move through that stride with explosive power would be of great benefit to his velocity. If on the other hand you used heavy load training to enhance the performance of a pitchers ability to curl weight up with his arm would be of very little benefit to his velocity. Heavy load training is not as excepted in baseball because most coaches believe that the arm is what generates velocity and doing leg curls or arm curls isn’t going to help you wipe your arm faster. If these coaches had an understanding of total body mechanics like with 3X Pitching then heavy load training would make since. This is why trying to convince your coach that you want to use heavy load training when they believe the arm is mainly responsible for generating velocity is a loosing battle.

Heavy Load Training is high risk training if not performed properly. This means you must have the knowledge of what lifts to use and how to perform them correctly to lower the risk.

14 SECRET #10: Anaerobic Conditioning

This last secret hits hard with pitching coaches across the country. This is because the "OldSchool" approach to training the pitcher was that pitching is an endurance position so we must run long distances to help build their en- durance. This means they used aerobic training to train the pitchers endurance. To understand this secret best you need to know the difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic training. Aero- bic means with oxygen and Anaerobic means without. To prove that pitchers are anaerobic machines all you need to do is read and learn about ATP. ATP is what fuels the muscles and there are three phases to ATP production. Long distance runners use mainly the last production of ATP called Aerobic respiration. This production of ATP occurs when the athlete has been performing the same movement without rest for at least 90 seconds. This would tell you that pitchers do not train in this phase of ATP. The demands of pitching include an action of throwing the ball which takes about a second to perform and then the pitcher is at rest again. This means the pitcher uses mainly the first phase of ATP which is called the The Phosphagen System. To take advantage of this knowledge a pitcher will benefit from a training program that is helping to increase the buffer of ATP during this phase of production.

To learn how to implement this last secret and the other 9 into your training and delivery then I highly recommend that you read this last section of this book.

15 Now you have the BIG 10 Extreme Velocity Secrets. Learning how to take advantage of these secrets will open doors for you. What do you think separates you from todays number one draft pick? The fact that his ability is opening more doors than yours. This can all be solved by you taking these secrets and putting them to work for you. Unfortunately, these secrets are not enough. This is only the map to the treasure. You now need all the tools and knowledge to get there. The tools and knowledge are here for you today in the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Program.

Before we get started here, I want you to go down to your closes convenience store and buy a lottery ticket. If you are not old enough, then get your parents or a guardian to take you to buy one. Tell them that it is for a good cause. I want you to buy a lottery ticket because I want you to understand how you are playing your pitching career. You are playing it like the lottery every time you are looking for that cheap and easy program, that you think is going to get you to 90, so scouts will notice you. You have a better chance of being struck by lightening… .twice, before you win the lottery, or find that cheap and easy program to 90mph. Well, today is your lucky day and it doesn’t come on a lucky piece of paper. It comes with an opportunity to reach your velocity goals. I guarantee it!

16 This jackpot of pitching velocity is not an easy road to victory. From here on out it is going to take some serious focus, determination, blood, sweat and tears, to cash in!

Don’t blow this off like you are blowing off your career!

You don’t have the time or the luxury to walk away from this level of knowledge and this hardcore training program. Your career is too short to act like you got it made. Unless you are the hardest throwing pitcher in your state, then you have a lot of work to do.

You only get a few chances in your career to make a name for yourself and the fact that you are here, RIGHT NOW, tells me that you are not getting the job done or you are second guessing your ability to get the job done.

“Quitters never Win and Winners never Quit!”

I was 26 years old and completely out of the game of baseball, I still believed deep down inside that I would reach my velocity goal of 94mph. The reason I never let go of my goals, even when my win- dow of opportunity was almost completely closed, was because I refused to give up or quit. I knew that if I didn’t keep my hopes alive, even against all of the odds, regret would eventually take me down. The only thing I fear is regret. I knew that it would be harder to live with the regret that I didn’t work hard enough to reach my velocity goals, than to live with the blood, sweat and tears of working to accomplish my goal of 94mph. Trust me, you don’t want to be that guy who is always saying, “I should have or I could have thrown 90, but my coach screwed me, or I hurt my arm, or I partied to much.” That guy is a loser in my book!

So why does everybody want to throw hard but only a handful can?

I am sure you already know this but velocity is like a drug. The day you can throw the ball past every hitter in the lineup is the day that you feel invincible. What pitcher wouldn’t want to feel this? This

17 will also give you confidence that will get you to the next level, so velocity is king when it comes to dominating the game, making scouts notice you and this is why everyone wants to posses it. The reason only a handful of pitchers can throw hard, is because most pitchers only rely on their genetics to determine their velocity and those who do not have the genetics, just make ex- cuses for why they can’t throw hard. Most pitchers that I meet, who think they do not need help with velocity, think that if they just throw long toss everyday, or not workout because it makes a body builder not a pitcher, then it is only just a matter of time before they start throwing hard. This is the recipe for regret! If you don’t act now to take advantage of the little time you have in your career to be a star, then regret is all you will have when it is over.

Let me show you how velocity can open doors! Daniel Pitfield From 72 to 88 MPH

“Daniel Pitfield signs with the Spring Hill College Badgers for the new season.” www.shcbadgers.com

“Daniel will be a starter this season and is a valuable ad- dition to the team.” Coach Frank Sims SHC

Daniel Pitfield never stopped chasing his dream, even after being cut every year from his high school Baseball team. After he graduated from high school, Daniel Pitfield trained long and hard for one more chance at his dreams. He was selected to play with AIST at the Prague Baseball Week Tournament in Prague Czech Republic. He beat the Czech Republic National team to win the Prague Baseball Week. ESPN pick the Prague Baseball Week as #7 of the top 10 Ultimate Baseball Experiences in the World. Coach Franks Sims was the head coach and was so impressed by Daniel’s ability, that he signed him to an athletic scholarship to play for the Badgers the next season. Daniel is currently a freshman starter for the Badgers…… Chad Wilkinson - American International Sports Teams - Taken from www.AIST.us

18 What if Daniel would have settled, or been satisfied with never making his high school baseball team because of his poor velocity? He would have spent the rest of his life wondering…what if! In- stead he committed to 3X Pitching and gained an amazing 10mph in 6 months. This is what got him the opportunity to show his skills in Prague, which earned him a very expensive athletic scholarship to a well respected college.

Listen to an audio testimonial from Daniel at http://TopVelocity.net

I called Daniel to check on him this season and we started talking about 3X Pitching and I asked him if I could record an interview. Josh Favaloro From 75 to 91MPH!

“Josh Favaloro Signs with Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.” www.thesttammanynews.com

“Josh is a talented athlete. We are looking for him to pitch and play the outfield.” Coach Gary Rath MGCCC

Josh Favaloro, RHP Northlake Christian HS (LA). He was named to Top Prospect List in the Base- ball Clearing House Fall Louisiana Showcase. He was also first team all District his Junior year. He is going into his senior season.

When Josh started with the 3X Pitching program he was mid to high 70′s and was changing schools in hopes he would get a better chance to play high school baseball. By the end of the 3X Pitching program Josh was mid to high 80′s and his coach said he saw him hit 90 a few times. He is currently the Ace Pitcher at Northlake Christian High School for his senior season.

19 Favaloro has perfect game, strikes out 11…. in 1st High School Game during his Senior Year

“Perfection! Northlake Christian School senior pitcher Josh Favaloro created a true masterpiece Monday afternoon hurling a rare perfect game against the East St. John Wildcats. The Wolverines, the defending Class 2A state champs, opened the season in historical fashion blanking East St. John 11-0 in a five-inning contest at Bonnabel in the Grace King Tournament.” www.thesttam- manynews.com

“I was definitely blessed to have this happen to me,” Favaloro said. “My first thought after striking out the last batter was that nobody does this sort of thing and how rare a perfect game really is. A whole bunch of emotions started at the same time and I wasn’t sure how I should react,” Josh Favaloro

“Being my first game of the season I had so many things going through my mind. In your mind you play the game two innings ahead. I knew Josh was doing well and we had a shutout, but I didn’t re- alize no one had gotten on base in the pressure of trying to win our first game,” Coach Ricky Porter

Josh was concerned about his chance to play high school baseball when he first started the pro- gram, better yet he never thought he would be playing college baseball one day. When his fastball increased over 10mph with 3X Pitching many doors flew open for him, and he is still reaping the benefits of the velocity gains today. This program gave him the boost that he needed to not only be- come the Ace Pitcher on his high school team, but it got him a scholarship to play college baseball, even before going into his senior year.

Listen to an audio testimonial from Josh at http://TopVelocity.net

I called Josh Favaloro because his season was getting off to a slow start with rain outs. I asked him if I could do an interview with him about 3X Pitching. He said no problem!

20 Mitchell Sewald - From 80 to 92 MPH

Mitchel has been honored as a National Academic Top Prospect by Perfect Game USA. - www.PerfectGame.org Mitchell has also been listed as a Louisiana Top Prospect since his Junior year in High School. - NOLA.com

Mitchell is going into his Senior season for Archbishop Rummel in New Orleans, LA and will be the Ace Pitcher. Several coaches in the area have projected him to be one of the top pitchers in the state for this up and coming prep season. You can view his Junior year 2011 Perfect Game Recruit- ing Profile here at www.PerfectGame.org and his Skills Show profile here at www.skillshow.com.

Watch a video testimonial with Mitchell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqc_qBT1vSc In the video I asked Mitchell to sit down with me before one of our training days, to talk about how 3X Pitching has helped him gain over 10mph in velocity.

LSU baseball gets commitment from Rummel’s Mitch Sewald

After completing the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Program Mitchell Sewald went from 80-92mph. His vertical jump went from 28 inches to 40 inches. His 60 yard dash went from 7.2 seconds to 6.5 seconds and he now just signed a full ride to LSU before starting his senior year in high school. His high school coach is quoted in the article here at nola.com as saying:

“He took a big step over the summer,” Monica said. “…This summer he got stronger. His velocity got better. And he developed a second pitch, a curveball, which made him better.”

21 These are not the only pitchers to benefit from this revolutionary approach to pitching velocity. These type of stories show up almost every week in my email. Pitchers thanking me for showing them that they had tons more velocity in them and they are so grateful that 3X Pitching pulled it out of them. Yes, you also have hidden velocity in your body’s potential. It is waiting to be release. The problem is it is going to take some smart and hard work to get it out of you.…..The question now is, how bad do you want it?

Supporters of the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Program

“I taught Brent everything he knows. You would be stupid not to use his Program!” Kurt Hester – Corporate Director of Training at Payton Manning’s D1 Sports Performance.

“Brent has put together an excellent program for training velocity!” Gayle Hatch – 2004 Athens Olympic Weight Lifting Coach – 2009 Men’s USA World Team Coach – List continues on.... “Not only was Brent a great teammate but he also knows his stuff!” Jake Myer – played division 1A college baseball at UCLA. He was drafted by the Chicago Whitesox in 1998. “This program uses the same approach to training velocity that I used in my career.” Dan Miceli – 14 year Major League Career

“There is no better program for increasing your velocity than Brent’s!” Chuck Hickman – Drafted 12th round by Chicago Cubs.

Velocity will do more than just get your foot in the door… It will blow the door down!

Here are some of the benefits of high velocity:

22 1. It will keep hitters honest - Hitters will no longer anticipate your next fastball, they will fear it! This will make pitching a lot easier and way more fun. 2. It will set you up as the ACE – Your Coach wants his Ace to throw the hardest on the team and maybe even in the league. It makes him look good and it will win him games. 3. Scouts will pay attention – You will start seeing radar guns popping up at all of your games. Scouts will start communicating with you and getting to know you on a first name basis. 4. You will make the paper – They will call you the “Heater,” or the “Rocket” in the local paper, in reference to your last performance. 5. The letter K will become your favorite letter – When you are mowing hitters down you will be collecting K’s like it is going out of style. It will be so addicting that you will want to see how many K’s you can collect in one game. 6. Invites to play for allstar teams and invitation only leagues – Every team wants a flame thrower to show off with, especially the top leagues in the country. 7. You will become the team leader – Your new intimidating fastball will lift your team up and they will make you the new team leader. It is more valuable than having a homerun hitter in the 4 hole slot. 8. You will get paid – All Coaches in college and professional baseball are willing to pay lots of money for a hard thrower on the mound. College scholarship money of course! 9. You will get the girls – What girl doesn’t want to date the team stud? The guy who intimidates hitters with his explosive fastball. You will become a chick magnet! WARNING: BEWARE OF CLEAT CHASERS! 10. You will always have bragging rights – No one is going to want to challenge you at the plate, and if they do, a screaming fastball on their hands will definitely shut them up. 11. You will play this game for a long time – Throwing hard is a ticket to play in any league. Hard throwing pitchers are hard to find, so you will always be in demand as long as you can keep throw- ing the heat!

Here is a perfect example of what high velocity can do for a young pitcher like Zach. Here is an email he sent me a while back.

23 Zach is a great example of what 3X Pitching will do for you, if you follow through with the pro- gram. This isn’t an easy program because adding 10mph to your fastball will probably be the hardest thing you will ever accomplished in your life.

Every time in my career, when I tried to take the easy way out, it always blew up in my face. Not until I decided to grow up and be a man, and bust my butt to achieve my goals, did my life change for the better. I don’t ca- reer what anyone says about velocity, you can’t cheat science. 3X Pitching is built on science and it is proven that if you complete the 16 week program, your velocity will increase considerably, but you don’t have to take my word for it. Here is the science behind the program!

Is this program for all ages?

YES, it is highly recommended for all ages. At the youth level the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Pro- gram is more than just the #1 velocity enhancement program on the web, it will ultimately teach the youth pitcher how to prevent injury. The Beginner’s Guide to 3X Pitching was developed for the youth or beginner to have the opportunity to take advanatage of an advanced velocity enhancement program like the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Program. Most of the information in this program is

24 a MUST LEARN for all youth pitchers to prevent injury at a young age and to also increase velocity. If you are a Dad or a Coach and you work with youth pitchers, this program will give you everything you will ever need to develop the youth pitcher!

Adding 5 – 10mph to your Fastball is the result of pure science!

I never would have played professionally, after major rotator cuff surgery, if I had not looked outside of baseball to discover the science behind reaching your top velocity. Science is the only way you personally will reach your top velocity as well. The reason the majority of coaches and trainers do not understand the science behind velocity, is because the conventional wisdom in baseball will not allow it.

What is “conventional wisdom?” – Conventional wisdom are beliefs that are widely accepted but may not always produce the desired results.

There are pitching coaches all over this country who have different levels of experience, from the pro levels to no experience at all. The problem is not their experience but the information they are teaching you.

Coaches who use conventional wisdom to coach pitching mechanics cause more problems than good. The American Sports Medicine Institute says that arm injuries have gone up 700% in the past 10 years. The majority of high school and college pitchers have poor leg and core strength, along with poor mechanics. Here are some common coaching tips of conventional wisdom which may be the reason you are not getting better or staying healthy.

Common Coaching Tips of Conventional Wisdom:

1. “Get on Top of the ball.” 2. “Finish out front.”

25 3. “Bend your back.” 4. “Break your hands later.” 5. “Break hands and move into T position.” 6. “Elbows to the sky.” 7. “Lift your leg high.” 8. “Pull down to release.” 9. “Get your elbow up early.” 10. “Point your Glove” and my favorite, when all else fails, “Just Through Strikes!”

The Pitching Mechanics that you have been taught, along with your training program, is making you WORSE!

If the above conventional wisdom phrases are all too common to you, then you have been the victim of conventional wisdom. This is why you have average to below average velocity. This is why you may experience chronic arm soreness or have had an arm injury. This approach to pitching will not make you better! It could most likely end your pitching career short of you reaching your goals.

What is inside 3X Pitching?

You are getting tons and tons of valuable information that has been put into a 16 week system. After you purchase this program you will look back to this day and see yourself as an uneducated pitcher, who was going nowhere in his career because of the lack of effective information. Here is the outline of information you will get:

26 1. Triple Extension – Learn the foundation of this revolutionary approach to pitching. This phrase comes from the Olympic Lifting world and it is the most effective way an athlete can build pure ex- plosive strength. 2. 3X Mechanics – Learn that 3X Pitching is more than just Triple Extension. 3X is the foundation of this approach to pitching but built on top, is a complete scientific system to the mechanics of pitch- ing velocity. 3. 3X Torque - Learn how 3X is the most effective way to generate core torque. The National Pitch- ing Association has proven that 80% of velocity comes from this component. 4. The Power of 3X – Learn how 3X is the key to amping a pitchers power output. You will also un- cover the case studies that prove the effectiveness of this approach. 5. 3X Precision – Learn how 3X Precision is the key to accuracy. 3X is more than just power pitch- ing, it also gives the pitcher leverage to locate his pitches. 6. 3X and the Timing Factor – Learn how 3X can only be implemented into your delivery if you un- derstand the timing of its following components. The timing factor is the final step in reaching your velocity goals with 3X Pitching. 7. 3X Examples - Learn those MLB pitchers who are perfect examples of 3X Pitching, so you can follow their careers and study their mechanics. 8. 3X Training – Learn how 3X can not only be taught, it must be trained before it can effect pitch- ing velocity. It is the essences of power for the athlete but it must be trained to generate that power before it is effective. 9. 3X Recovery – Learn how building your foundation through 3X can enhance your body’s ability to rebuild itself. 10. 3X Injury Prevention – Learn how the mechanics of 3X Pitching trains an pitcher to become more efficient. This efficiency not only increases velocity but it prevents injury. 11. 3X Mindset – You MUST learn the mindset behind this revolutionary approach to pitching veloc- ity before you can benefit from it. This is the fuel that is going to ignite your career using 3X Pitching. 12. 3X Velocity System – 16 week program of velocity drills. These drills include the well know 3X medicine ball throws and 3X target throws, along with some more advanced drills. 13. Fusion System – Multifaceted strength and conditioning program that focuses on modeling fast

27 twitch muscle fibers. 14. Pitching Guidelines – Learn how to organize your in-season pitching workload to improve per- formance and prevent overuse and injury. 15. Nutritional Guidelines – Learn how critical it is to feed your cells and cleanse your system, to promote velocity enhancement and optimal performance.

Is this program for all ages?

YES, it is highly recommended for all ages. At the youth level the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity pro- gram is more than just the #1 velocity enhancement program on the web, it will ultimately teach the youth pitcher how to prevent injury. The Beginner’s Guide to 3X Pitching was developed for the youth or beginner to have the opportunity to take advantage of an advanced velocity enhancement program like the 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity program. Most of the information in this program is a MUST LEARN for all youth pitchers to prevent injury at a young age and to also improve pitching velocity. If you are a Dad or a Coach and you work with youth pitchers, this program will give you everything you will ever need to develop the youth pitcher!

How does 3X Pitching compare to other programs?

There is no other program that can compare to 3X Extreme Pitching Velocity Program because no other program trains power as effectively as the Fusion System. There is also no other program that trains the use of that power in the stride phase of the baseball pitching delivery. Most programs only work on the throwing phase. That is after the front foot lands. This would include only weighted ball training, resistance band training and even towel drills. Most programs also do not train a complete set of power pitcher mechanics to increase velocity and prevent injury. Most programs also do not include the power focused lifts like the Olympic Lifts and Plyometrics and show how they can im- prove pitching velocity. Last but not least most programs do not include training for all season long within a proven system using calendars to guide the athlete through the entire program towards

28 their 3X Goals. This includes off, pre and in-season programs with system calendars like below. I would challenge those who have these other programs to contact me and prove me wrong. This has not happened yet!

Is This Type of Training Dangerous or Risky?

If this question is a concern of yours, then you need to ask yourself how bad do you want to reach your velocity goals and how far are you willing to push it. The point is there is risk and danger in- volved in all sports, and working to become the best in a sport will force you to push your body’s po- tential. This means you are walking a fine line between safety and injury. This is why 3X Pitching covers recovery, nutrition and injury prevention extensively. Before you will start a drill or lift a weight, I recommend that you read these sections of 3X Pitching thoroughly, because those athletes who can stay healthier longer, are the more successful athletes. I promise that 3X Pitching will give you everything you need to know to keep yourself safe and healthy, even as you push your limit’s, or your money back!

29 What will 3X Pitching help me Avoid in my Career?

Most of the pitching programs out there are a waste of time and believe me I know, I tried most of them in my career. I was just like you, looking for that program that was going to give me that boost and help me to reach my goals. All I learned was how much time and money I had wasted when try- ing these program. Not one of these programs were developing me as a more explosive athlete. Most of these program only focused on the arm and the training programs were only helping me maintain what ability I already had. 3X Pitching is so effective in helping you reach your velocity goals because it is training you to become Bigger, Stronger and Faster. It is also teaching you how to apply this explosive strength into your pitching delivery, by taking a ground up approach to pitch- ing, instead of the all arm or top down approach of other programs. Here are some points to recog- nize that 3X Pitching will help you avoid in your career.

1. The loss of time - In your career you only have a short window of opportunity to make your name and move on to the next level. Wasting your time with trial and error, in effort to add that 5- 10mph to your velocity, that you need to get to the next level, is going to take a lifetime to uncover. I know this because it has almost taken me a lifetime to develop 3X Pitching, and I was only able to use it and benefit from it very late in my own career. Why waste your precious time, that you will never get back, trying to discover this on your own, when everything you need to know is here in 3X Pitching? 2. Frustration and Disappointment – Your confidence is slowly being broken down the longer it takes you to reach your velocity goals. Every time you try a new program or technique that doesn’t work, this hits your spirits hard. You can only mentally handle so much failure before you crack. Why continue beating your head against the wall, when you have found the source to all your answers here? 3X Pitching was developed by someone who was in your same position who was looking for the answers to reaching his top velocity. 3X Pitching is the answers that he discovered and help him reach his velocity goal of 94mph. 3X Pitching will do the same for you. I guarantee it!

30 3. Injury – Most velocity programs out there are what I like to call “Sac” Programs. This is the same as the “Sac” Fly in baseball. You have to sacrifice an out for a run. With these other Velocity pro- grams you will have to “Sac” your elbow or shoulder, or even your career for more velocity. This is because they are built around the arm throwing the ball and 3X Pitching is built around the entire body working together as a single unit to throw the ball. With these other programs you may gain a few mph but your arm will pay the price! 4. Muscular Weakness – If you are spending all of your time making mechanical adjustments to gain velocity, and neglecting training your body to become an elite athlete, then you are growing weaker everyday. After you learn 3X Pitching you will discover that most of your mechanical prob- lems were caused by muscular weakness. This is a problem with most young pitchers. 5. Bad Coaching – Baseball is full of bad coaching. I have witnessed it in all levels of the game. If you are waiting in your career for that great coach to turn you into a stud pitcher, then there is a good chance you will be waiting forever. Not only that but trusting your coaches with your career, could make you worse. 3X Pitching will educate you through science, on what makes up the hard throwing elite pitcher, then it will train you to become one! 6. Mediocrity - No body in sports wants to be average. This will never get you to the next level. For scouts to notice you, you need to stand out above the rest. This is no easy task and unless you have the genetics of Nolan Ryan, then you are not going to change your DNA without an intense and highly educated velocity enhancement program, like 3X Pitching. If you want to avoid medioc- rity, then you have come to the right place! 7. Modeling more slow twitch than fast twitch muscles – If you are not in a program that focuses on high intensity throws and high intensity training, then you are making yourself slower on the mound. Most pitchers do not see velocity gains until the middle of the season, when they have thrown a high percentage of high intensity pitches, when challenging hitters. The secrets is how do we continue to keep our throws high intensity, even in the off-season, without destroying our arm? 3X Pitching has the answers and the program. This is why you will experience velocity gains all year round! 8. Not reaching your goals and dreams – Most young athletes have no clue what it is going to take to accomplish their goals and live their dreams. The reason is their goals and dreams do not

31 come with a map or a 12 step program. 3X Pitching is that map or program to your goals and dreams. If you desire to ever accomplish your goals and live your dreams, then you MUST have a program that will take you there. In my experience, I never found that program, so I had to develop one for myself and it worked. What I learned was that I didn’t set my goals and dreams high enough. So put your goals and dreams way up there, because 3X Pitching will take you where you want to go! I promise!

The 3 Most Common Questions about 3X Pitching?

1. Will I really gain 5-10 mph? Yes, if you commit yourself to 3X Pitching. I am so confident that this is true and also so excited to offer it to you, because of its effectiveness, that I am offering it to you risk free. If you complete the 16 week program of the 3X Velocity System and the Fusion Sys- tem, and you do not add 5-10mph to your fastball, then I will give you all your money back. That is even a bigger guarantee than the 60 day money back guarantee that comes with the pur- chase! 2. Am I too young for this program? No, but if you are uncomfortable with the lifts in the Fusion System, I recommend that you learn the lifts without any weight before you start the Fusion System. There is no evidence that proves lifting weights at a young age will cause any health problems. I just recommend that you start off slow and make sure you learn the mechanics of the lifts before you push yourself with the weights. This is the same advice I give to those who are starting out in any sport, and not just weight lifting. 3. Is this momentum pitching or “Drop and Drive?” I get this question a lot! The problem is mo- mentum pitching and “Drop and Drive” pitching only describe a style of pitching. It is not a complete approach to pitching like 3X Pitching. It doesn’t include a 6 component set to pitching mechanics, which is backed up by scientific evidence. It also doesn’t include a complete training program for training the pitcher through these 6 components and developing a bigger, stronger, faster pitcher. Those who ask this question really have no idea what 3X Pitching is and what it takes to de- velop the elite pitcher.

32 How can you Guarantee Me 5 – 10 MPH on my Fastball?

I can make this guarantee because this program was not developed to take your money. It was de- veloped to help you reach your velocity goals and if it doesn’t do this, then I want you to at least get your money back. This is also because I was once in your shoes and I would have appreciated a program like this to do me the common courtesy, of reimbursing me, if the program didn’t work for me. So, purchase 3X Pitching knowing that your money isn’t at risk here. You only really pay for it, if it pays you back, by helping you reach your velocity goals!

What Equipment will I need for 3X Pitching?

Most of the equipment in the Fusion System can be found at your gym or health club. The equip- ment used in the 3X Velocity System that is required, is the 2lb medicine ball, a target, a glove and baseballs. The Velocity Starter Kit, that is included with 3X Pitching, has links to recommended sources to purchase the needed equipment, but if you already have the equipment, you will not need to purchase anything.

Ok, this program sounds legit but what is the Catch…Really?

Every program that promises you these kind of results must come with a catch….right? Actually 3X Pitching does come with a catch. The catch is if you don’t give 3X Pitching your best, then it will not work. This definitely isn’t a quick fix program that is going to give you these results, and I hate to tell you but a quick fix program that is going to give you 5-10mph doesn’t exist. 3X Pitching is an in- tense program that will take all of your best efforts to work for you. Yes, you will be require to bust your butt with this program. It will challenge you in every way possible, because if you want to reach your velocity goals, it isn’t just going to take you learning the 6 components to velocity, or just the joint integrity program, it is going to take a full fusion of things to make this happen. So don’t waste your time and mine, and purchase this program without the motivation that you are going to reach your velocity goals. You must have confidence that 3X Pitching will guide you there!

He is an inductee in the Strength Coach Hall of fame and is the Director of Training at the National D1 Sports Training. He can be seen on ESPN training NFL and MLB athletes. The value of these 3 interview’s is twice or even three times the value of the en- tire package of 3X Pitching.

35 3x Pitching in a nutshell!

A Dad contacted me because he is looking for a program to help his son break 90. He said to me in an email, “their is a lot of great information about 3X Pitching but their is just so much of it. Could you please describe why I should purchase 3X Pitching for my son in a nutshell?”

This was my reply!

Breaking 90mph is a serious challenge if it doesn’t come naturally. This is what 3X Pitching is all about. 3X Pitching trains pitchers to use their body as a single unit to generate the maximum amount of power that they potentially can create, then it teaches them how to take advantage of that power through the stride phase of the pitching delivery, to increase velocity. The Ace Pitcher Hand- book is a 16 week program of velocity drills and a complete strength and conditioning program. The program takes a high level of commitment but it is guaranteed to help you reach your velocity goals!

"Since I have been a member of Top Velocity, I've learned so much and positive results are showing up in just a short time in the players that I coach. To be honest, I've only concentrated on teaching 3x and Hip/Shoulder Separation components to our high school pitchers (kind of neglecting the other components, but you know how they are at that age, impatient!) with excellent results! Out of the seven pitchers, 6 of them experienced more velocity and less arm/elbow soreness which makes them more confident on the mound. One of the pitchers signed a Letter of Intent to attend Cal-State Northridge, a D1 school, two others have been contacted by various colleges and are now consider- ing attendance. I'll keep you posted." "Thanks and keep up the great work!" - Glenn S

"GREAT NEWS!! My son Gabe was just drafted as the second pick in the 25th round (#753 overall) of the MLB Draft by the Seattle Mariners!" "Just FYI, I am a member of Dick Mills' All About Pitching Program and Paul Reddicks' 90 MPH Club, I have read numerous pitching articles from Dale Ellis' The Complete Pitcher website, visited chrisoleary.com, and spent a lifetime on YouTube and differ- ent websites trying to understand the mechanics of pitching (and hitting). I've spent thousands of dollars trying to get my two sons the correct pitching information and results that everyone prom- ises, but with minimum results. I have to give it to you, the $157.99 that I paid you has to be the best investment that I made for my kids' careers! If there is pitching instruction out there that is better than what you offer, I have not found it yet. Mahalo Nui Loa for all of your help!" - Glenn S

3X Pitching Coach/Trainer/Author

Brent Pourciau has been coaching high school, college and professional pitchers to reach their velocity goals for the past 10 years. He also has been working with coaches to coach their pitchers to do the same. His suc- cess in training pitchers to reach their velocity goals came first with himself, when he overcame a major rotator cuff tear to play pro ball and top out at 94mph, after Doctors told him he would never pitch again.

45 Ok, let's get serious now!

Yes, I did what very few have been capable of doing in baseball. My life has been nothing but an ob- stacle course. I was cut from my ninth grade team and the next year I trained my butt off and started varsity, we almost won state. I was born dyslexic and almost flunked out of college. I did what three well respected Doctors and the trainer for the Giants and Dodgers said I would never do, which was to pitch in professional baseball and throw 94mph after a rotator cuff tear at 18. I didn't have the best professional career in the states but overseas I put up some better numbers. I am not Nolan Ryan or Roger Clemens but I would bet I could teach them something about how someone with poor or average velocity can add 5-10mph to their fastball. This is because I not only did it for my- self but I helped many different types of pitchers do it in their careers. I love what I do and I am not going anywhere. I am not just a marketer, I am a pitching coach and a pitching trainer. I am coach- ing and training pitchers everyday at my Baseball Academy in Louisiana called Guerilla Baseball. I also believe this and I have been told, that I am the best when it comes to velocity.

I am bragging about my coaching and training ability but when it came to pitching I was average. I always said if I can do this then anyone can. I know what it is like to suck. I know what it is like to struggle to the point of wanting so bad to quit. I know what it is like to hate this game. This is why I can coach and train pitching so well because I had to almost kill myself to become an average pro- fessional pitcher.

I added 10mph to my fastball post surgery!

I was shocked the day this happened. I will never forget. I was playing in a summer league in Los Angeles, California. It was a great league. The league had Bret Saberhagen, Todd Zeile, Jose Canseco to name a few. I was having a blast because I was striking out a lot of guys. I think I had like 120 K's in 50 something innings. It got to the point that my teammates were telling me that I need to stop playing amature ball at 26 years old and go tryout for pro baseball. So I asked a friend to come and we both tried out at a Scouting Bureau camp. They made me pitch last because I was

46 the oldest kid there. They almost forget about me. I had to wait almost 8 hours to pitch to the only scout who was left. He was with the Twins. I topped out at 94mph. The scout ran up to me and said congratulations son have you ever thrown the ball 94mph. I said no. I couldn't believe what he just told me and the next few months was a great ride to pro baseball.

Here is me pitching to my childhood idol Jose Canseco! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsMP03zkiS4

I love this game and the opportunities that I was given are priceless. I never would have had these opportunities if I didn't work so hard to create them. I want you to have the opportunities that I had in this game and this is why I want to help you achieve your velocity goals. The benefit I get is reliving my good memories through helping you create good memories. This is why I put a guarantee on this program. I promise you that you will not find a better program on the web than 3X Pitching or a more dedicated Pitching Coach and Trainer than with me. What do you say? Let's create some once in a lifetime opportunities for you?
