Top Gun Pitchers & Throwers Conditioning Program – Results Are In!

Due to the popularity and success of last years program the 2016-17 class saw an increase in attendees.  This exceptional group of pitchers and catchers bonded as they worked side by side for both  common and individual goals.  The results have been amazing.

The purpose of this program is to develop the “total throwing athlete” regardless of position.

While other programs just chase velocity, we measure the underlying “physical factors” that contribute to improved velocity, but more importantly overall health.  By looking at the improvement in all these areas both individually and as a collective it gives us a clear picture of the overall development of the throwing athlete. Therefore we can track specific improvement or regression and prescribe the right training modalities moving forward.

These athletes accomplished all this in thirty two (32) training sessions!!!

Velocity

Early reports from our athletes show an average improvement in velocity of 3-5mph. All report throwing harder. Update: As of July 25th  average velocity improvement for most of the group was 3-5 mph and a top of 8 mph. One athlete has also hit 94-95 mph.

Arm Health

Proper arm health reduces the risk of shoulder and lower arm injuries. Discrepancies of strength […]

“Growing Up Gamespeed”: Two Longtime Athletes Donate Pro Jerseys

Gamespeed’s been a part of athletes lives in the Bay Area for over twenty years now. I’ve trained hundreds of athletes. Like anything they come and go. However there are some who spend most of their athletic lives with me. Case in point Cheyenne Cordes and Robert Stephenson. I am proud to have played a part in their athletic development and watch them grow as individuals and athletes.

They have given me some of the most memorable moments of my coaching career and now have added to that by giving me autographed replicas of their pro jerseys. You guys are a true inspiration to me and the future generations of Gamespeed athletes.

Thank You.

Cheyenne Cordes (Softball – Infield)

As a middle school athlete Cheyenne came to me and we’ve worked together now for over twelve years. A standout at Rodriguez High then onto CAL and now in the National Pro Fastpitch League playing her first pro season with the Rebellion but recently traded to the Texas Charge.

 

Robert Stephenson (Baseball – Pitcher)

Its been eight years since Robert first joined Gamespeed. We’ve watched him develop into a top high school […]

Lacrosse Goalie spends her Christmas break giving herself the gift of SPEED

Clare Laughery plays for Central Michigan University. Part of her schools fitness testing is running a 300 yard shuttle. Her previous attempts were around 90 plus sec. She couldn’t break that barrier. Over the break she got to work attending fourteen private sessions with Gamespeed’s coach Aaron and earlier this week she was happy to report she tested at 73 seconds. That’s a whopping 17 seconds off her previous time. Way to go Clare!

Gamespeed Tennis and Baseball players begin 2017 as signed athletes.

Congratulations to Sydney Smyth and Brett Sterrer.  Both signed to play at the next level in December.

 

Sydney Smyth a GS Tennis athlete since 2014 has worked diligently to improve her game. Her programs consisted of improving her running technique, speed, lateral movement & agility and developing strength.  In just a couple months her work moved her up from 199th to 46th in NorCal USTA rankings.  Good enough to have the coaches at Arizona Christian University to take notice.

 

 

Bret Sterrer  has been GS trained since 2012. His program has consisted of improving overall conditioning and pitching velocity. Its been a real pleasure watching Bret grow from a freshman into a young collegiate level athlete. He will continue his work at GS in the College Ready Program. The program builds athletes physically and mentally to transition to the demands of college sports.
