Supporting Performance through MOVEMENT & SYNC ( For More Power)
Supporting Performance can vary from movement to movement. For example your core throughout your swing is crucial to maximizing offensive efficiency. Likewise, an unsupported shoulder increases injury

HOW SLOPE AFFECTS YOUR DELIVERY (Pitch Better off the Mound)
Human movement is based upon counterbalancing body parts to align towards one common CENTER of balance - not balance point. Since equal and opposite reactions must occur in any kinetic chain

How to be a PITCHER not a THROWER (10 Pitching tips to get more wins)
VeloPRO Founder and former MLB pitcher Jim Parque is in high demand across the world due to his ability to teach pitching. There is a big difference between what it takes to throw velocity driven pitches

Movement Training vs Mechanical Training (and When to use each one)
Mechanics are just one step within a kinetic chain reaction (KCR). They work SPECIFICALLY and contradict human motor pattern sequencing - which works rhythmically. If movement (1) flow, (2) rhythm, (3)

ALL ABOUT INTERNAL PRONATION (and how to Prevent & Heal injuries)
What is Baseball Internal Pronation?Internal Pronation (IP) is the intenal rotation of the throwing hand after pitch release. It is the culmination of the kinetic chain reaction's entire energy load being

ALL ABOUT INTERNAL ROTATION (and how to Prevent & Heal injuries)
Internal Rotation (IR) is basically pitch release range of motion (ROM). The more degrees of IR, the more velocity producing potential. IR is elasticity in its highest pitching form, but is a subconscious

Hot to be a HITTER not a SWINGER (8 Hitting Tips to get more wins)
VeloPRO Founder and former MLB pitcher Jim Parque was 9-5 with a 3.78 ERA in the first half of his second year in the Major Leagues. However, in the second half of the MLB season, he did not win a single

GROUND FORCE REACTION – (#1 analytic determining power & velocity)
In physics and biomechanics, GROUND FORCE REACTION (GFR) is the force exerted by the ground upon an object in contact with it. Basically, when you jump, your energy is pushed downwards and reflected back

All about Front Leg Extension for Proper Pitching & Hitting
Front Leg Extension (FLE) is the straightening of the front leg after front foot strike. It is the opposite reaction to Front Knee Flex (FKF). FLE is the acceleration of mechanical energy within the kinetic

All About External Rotation for Efficient & Powerful Kinetic Chain Reaction
External rotation (ER) is the lateral rotation of the throwing shoulder that is defined in biomechanics and kinesiology as a transverse movement plane. It is initiated right after foot strike in power
