Greetings Flow Masters,

Have you ever wondered which movement patterns have the greatest impact on your performance on the baseball or softball field?

The science of developmental kinesiology holds the answer. It reveals that global developmental patterns, honed during childhood, have the highest transferability to the game.

Developmental Kinesiology, in simple terms, is the science of how children learn to move. It delves into the development of neural pathways and connectivity, enabling them to transition from lying on their back to becoming independent movers. These foundational movement patterns form the building blocks of athleticism and efficient movement.

Just as a system thrives when its various components work harmoniously, your athletic performance flourishes when your movement system is in sync. Developmental Kinesiology allows us to understand how children naturally learn to move and establish the neural pathways necessary for fluid, efficient motion.

Within the Baseball Flows system, we prioritize global developmental patterning to amplify your athleticism on the field. By focusing on seamless transitions between movements, you will experience increased stability, agility, and grace during actions like hitting, throwing, running, and diving. Think of it as navigating the interconnected trails of the Amazon, adapting effortlessly to any challenge.

Movement is not just a physical act—it is a neurological process. To expedite your progress, we emphasize training your nervous system within our program. While traditional methods may solely target stretching or isolated mobility, our approach delves deeper, making significant changes at the neurological level. This ensures you develop refined movement solutions that translate to enhanced performance.

Efficiency is key to success on the baseball and softball field. Rather than fixating on isolated positions, we prioritize the art of movement transitions within the Baseball Flows system. By honing your central nervous system's problem-solving abilities, we empower you to optimize your athleticism and movement flow. Picture yourself navigating the baseball field with seamless adjustability, becoming a master of movement efficiency.

Another issue in today’s training methodologies is what we can call “Man made” or “Machine dependent” movement patterns.

What does it mean?

Man-made patterns are movement patterns coached by well-intentioned but misinformed instructors who do not understand the body’s natural movement patterning (developmental patterning).

Machine-dependent patterns are patterns learned by using equipment in the gym. As soon as you introduce a bench, squat rack, barbell, or any other piece of gym equipment your body will self-organize to the task of lifting the piece of equipment, which ingrains a specific movement pattern that will transfer poorly to the baseball and softball field. In other words, from a movement perspective, you are just getting better at using the equipment at the gym.

This is where Baseball Flows can help! Ingrain your natural movement patterns with our system so you can transfer all the mobility, stability, strength, and power that you developed in the gym to the baseball or softball field. We bridge the movement gap between the gym and the field.

To understand your place within the movement system, we invite you to explore the first movement in our Baseball Flows screening tool called the Baseball Flows Global Pattern Screening (GPS) (video below). This assessment provides valuable insights into any potential movement inefficiencies, allowing you to address them and evolve within our system for improved performance.

Stay tuned for our upcoming newsletters, where we'll continue our exploration of the Baseball Flows system, unveiling movement secrets, and sharing practical tips to elevate your performance on the field.

We would love to hear from you! Have you had the chance to try out the first movement from our Baseball Flows GPS tool? If so, What insights did you gain from it?

Welcome to our Level 1 Certification, where you'll witness the extraordinary influence of Global Pattern Screening firsthand. Together, we will unlock the true potential of baseball and softball players, revolutionizing player development through the art of movement system training.
