Pourciau we're at top velocity in the headquarters Louisiana and have a small

and we're gonna talk about today 3x pitching what is triple extension how

these guys can use it to get better increase our velocity and just break it

down for us cool so triple extension simple

extension of your ankle knee and hip flexor and what that does on the drive

leg the only leg on the ground most of your delivery that is going to allow us

to create more ground force or energy from the ground and ultimately that's

how we put energy in our bodies the best is through the ground how we push off

the ground so we're gonna teach you how that works and at the end of the day

it's it's just trying to get as much extension out it and push or drive out

as you can it's just knowing the right time and that's where a lot of coaches

get frustrated when they see guys trying to drive or push they're typically doing

it the wrong times and then they're getting even worse results right you see

a guy like trying to drive really early and they start jumping even though we've

seen pitchers and do that with success it's still really really hard to go and

allow that to happen early and get a lot of success out of it the other thing is

that the timings too late if I land and then I'm trying to drive it's too late

because we know when a front foot lands on a high velocity pitcher you have

about 0.1 0.2 seconds to release the ball which is close to the blink of the

eye so you don't really have a lot of time so if I'm too late extending then

I've more likely already release the ball but like you said we're coaches get

frustrated they're is they're trying to push in the front foot strike and it's

causing them to fly open even more so the timing is just so important when you

do it and where is the timing and I say it's a short window I always used to say

the window is about from here to there when your front foot is about right here

about to land that's the time that you have to drive that off just before you

land for it to work so it's right before I land boom I Drive it off now there's a

lot of intricacies to how you drive and ultimately it goes through when you're

trying to get triple extension you have to first get triple flexion

right just like the arm if I want to if I'm going to extend the arm I'm gonna

I'm gonna have it flexed and that's what creates extension specifically when I'm

pushing so I really can't push until I get some flexion so that's what we're

doing here we're gonna lift and we do what we call forward and down the same

rate with the hip and then just before I land we're gonna be in triple flexion

and then we're gonna go in triple extension and the front foot strike some

of the more specific things that you have to learn is the the force vector

what is the force vector that's the ankle to knee

if this shin wherever it's pointing when I push force that's where the energy

goes so if it's pointing up and I push force I go up if it's pointing linear or

like a sprinter like this when I push force it goes forward so as a pitcher

that's what I want I want the energy going through my hip carrying me to the

target I don't want it going up jumping off the ground so just like we said

forward and down the same rate I'm going into triple flexion and I'm allowing

that force vector to get linear I always say somewhere pointing to the front hip

is the time that I can now drive and hopefully we're still close and that's

then when we open and we triple extend and a lot of guys to confuse triple

extension they think this is triple extension that's just really stink

extension of the ankle and knee triple extension has a rotational component to

it right before you land you have to open and what that does is it exposes

the hip so when I go to fully extend now I can get into that hip extension which

means I'm driving good hip rotation which is the lower half that's how it

when it coach says you need to use your lower half that's how you need to learn

how to use your lower half if you do that correctly you're gonna put yourself

in a better spot to have better hip to shoulder separation which we'll talk

about in other videos one analogy I like to use for this and you talked about

guys who jump off and or guys who kind of fall off one analogy I like to use is

like a car if you're in a race car and you slam on the gas you're gonna spin

out right so that's like the guys who jump off of there and if you just go

really slow obviously you're gonna throw really slow and you're gonna start

really slow in your car you got to find that perfect spot

how much gas are you gonna put in that car to not peel out but go as

fast as you possibly can right and you know people always say cuz this is what

you know before I got into coaching all we knew was dropping Drive stand tall

and fall right what drop and drive or stand tall and fall and people always

would come in to me and be like what is this and I said it's it's it's neither

and that's why I called it 3x pitching because I actually wanted to put a name

of a method out there for people to learn and not just here drop and drive

stand upon fall this is the best of both this is falling forward and out the same

rate so I can flex and load and get linear and then I can drive so it's

really technically a combination of drop and drive and stands on fall as one and

I believe in a better method and one of the key components to your pitching

program and it's one of the things we talked about in the for probably the

four most important things and we put all those four things into a video for

you guys so if you're interested in seeing that one it'll be the first link

down below you can click it put your first name in put your email in and then

we'll shoot you that video over right away definitely check that one out

because it's got again the big big stuff the big idea is that if you put it to

use you're gonna see some results so great stuff thank you very much thank

you but this video right here we're gonna talk about pitching velocity leaks

where guys are leaking their velocity and we're gonna make this a little bit

fun we're gonna have a competition I'm gonna give you one leak he's gonna give

you a one leak we haven't talked about this we don't even know what we're gonna

talk about we're just kind of just please stop Yulin right now but in all

seriousness this is gonna be some good stuff
