What's going on guys? Coach Madden yougoprobaseball.com and I'm here with Brent
Pourciau of Top Velocity and we're talking about today you are known as having a
pitching program with the most 90 mile-an-hour testimonials ever what I've
seen I say that John and I think maybe I'm being a little too confident but I
don't know I haven't seen as many I don't know maybe I'm wrong yeah I don't
take that well you guys can't see it now but I'll show you a clip but there's a
bunch of posters up here and what I want to know is your best result that you
ever got and why some of your guys are having so much success Filson so all
have great stories I think that's the coolest thing about being a coach is
like you get to really invest in a player and you get to learn his purpose
and his story and it's exciting man and if you go on my site you can watch the
testimonials we interview them and they can they tell their stories but there's
a lot of fun ones I think for me the ones that are exciting on every let's
play Major League Baseball but I got to work with guys and trying to get back to
Major League Baseball and some of them we got back and it was it was a really
exciting experience but I think one of the best stories so far most recently
was Travis Owens this kid you can we'll fill you in the more of the intricacies
of it but he came from China and wanted to pitch college and professionally in
America and really hard worker big guy too is about 6 to 225 and was on my
program for about a year before he finally got into camp and he got into
camp towards a lot there was a little over a
year of him actually doing the training and you could see he was already really
matured in all the levels of training that we do and he just needed some
really key tips mechanically both in the lifting and in the throwing to really
get where he needed to go and he comes in the camp he sits on this mound he
hits 86 it was decent for him but he wants to play high level college he's in
JUCO right now and he wants to go play some professional baseball and we're in
the throwing drills and he's starting to make improvements and the key thing for
him the thing that he was really struggling with is every time he would
land he couldn't get this hip extended you know we talked about triple
extension that's a key part to driving power and and then also the other key
part aceptas shoulder separation so he was landing and couldn't get the hip
through a lot to do because the shoulders weren't separated and he
he would be in this posture when he would land leaning forward off balance
and then you'd catch him pulling at the end as opposed to continuing to transfer
all that power and that mass that he had a lot of and the front foot strike so in
all the drills we just we couldn't get him there and and but we'd put him on
these need rails and he would explode up because in our knee drills we don't just
throw on her knee we actually explode up from the need to throw and he was doing
it so well that all of our coaches were like and had the big eyes going on my
guy like you were incredibly explosive they were like same thing we were all
saying once you learned to separate man it's gonna be insane well 13 days later
it was cool because we had a guy here Thomas Casey who has a faith-based
Academy out in Florida in Tampa they in Travis's from Tampa they met in the camp
and then they decided to meet up and keep working together in Tampa and there
it Thomas's place and they're just he keeps
texting me and they're working on the same stuff and they're sending me videos
and then all of a sudden he just hits that moment this is 13 days later when
he starts to figure it out and he's and he had never hit 94 and he's doing our
separation throw on the mound and he hit 91 the first time he ever hit 90 plus
was in a separation throw on the mound and then he he texted me said I hit a 91
I said well man let's get it on the mound and and then I'm posting imma
throw up as a testimonial he goes ok I'm going to the mound right now and then he
gets in the mound and he starts sitting 90 in sitting 90
and then he texts me literally like he's like this is the first time ever I'll
probably I've ever said this but I'm sick of throwing 90 cuz he couldn't get
over he felt like you know cuz he was 91 in the separation throw he thought he'd
be 93 so he just kept working on it and you can see the video and he did it man
it was amazing he hits 95 and the look on his face was like prices it's like
the the you know you think anyone the moment they hit 95 would have this look
it's that look of like wow what I just did I think with the Xander his vase
because he sees 95 and when we go back and review the mechanics he achieved
everything that we were all saying here if you could just separate you're gonna
throw it's going to be insane and that's what he did he hit front foot hip was
all the way through and his shoulder was all the way back here so in camp he's
lame like this and in that 95 he's literally
sitting all the way back here like you know like a big leaguer and it was it
was unbelievable because the 13 day transformation from here to nailing it
is is really to be honest is unheard of like it's it's that it's just such a
hard that's such a hard advancement to make and the fact that he did in 13 days
is a testament to that kids focus willpower and work through the program
and it was just so exciting like I said the moment of just the kid like and this
kid doesn't smile and you see them like huge smile he just puts his hand down he
can't believe he just hit 95 and you know when he started at 74 a year ago
that's so awesome there's so many guys out there who were probably sitting
right around there right around 74 and everyone wants to throw 95 you know and
you know obviously seeing all these testimonials is this a possibility for
anyone does how much does gen gen etics come into
play how much how much ceiling would you give the average guy you know there's
that I think the key things involves our genetics what is that that's that's DNA
God gave you that is going to just you know as you wake up every day it's going
to manifest to this that is important then you got this other thing of a
program or a program that really understands the core principles of
velocity and how it works that's going to be important and then of course the
willpower and you know that and that's huge I mean that goes beyond top
velocity that goes into like the spiritual world right there's so many
important things there so yeah you can put those all together and then this how
you bounce math you come in and you don't have great the genetics to be a
big leaguer then of course the program is going to give you a little bit of
that edge above then the willpower more unlikely is gonna help you
overcompensate so you just got to look at those three things what do you have
like honestly say to yourself honestly what am i gen x stop fooling yourself a
lot of people do that or argA the genetics to throw 95 be honest what do
you really have the genetics to do and then look at how good's my program am i
just you know picking in cherry picking off the internet do I have a really
legitimate program that I got a coach helping me through also what's my
willpower do I really love this game am I really passionate to wake up and and
not go on vacations maybe you know not spend any time with
my friends and in sacrifice purely for what I'm trying to achieve and once you
understand your level and all that that's gonna really predict what the
results are gonna be self-awareness is key really and
anything that you're doing so you know where you're at and where you're trying
to get to and it's a lot easier to close the gap when you know that talking about
the third thing the intangible is that this kid had I think that also has a lot
to do with you know maybe his parents or really just the environment that he was
in coming up probably and I kind of want to tie that into environment how is it
here with the guys that come here versus someone who may never come here but get
got your program offline you know are you seeing the same results how does
that work yeah I mean I would say obviously the guys here there's two
things on earth the guy guys come in here have more of an opportunity to get
really better at this program and we do see that we do still have guys having
success online we also have guys coaches outside of here that we certify that
that can help and do the coaching and also to you know as much as I'm saying
if you look a lot of my testimony as they are guys that came here there is a
smaller amount that aren't but I'm still I'm not communicating with a lot of
those guys so maybe I have and I know I have a lot more testimonials that I'm
being told about so I just it just really comes down to if you have the
intelligence the willpower and the time to do it by yourself I think you're
going to be great with it but if you don't I mean that's a reason to maybe
come here if you need the the help the support the motivation because everybody
in here is doing the same thing and it also gives you an excuse that until a
legate that time to it then that dud be a reason to come here you know once you
got something my first one was like 87 Wow and from there is 90 one and when I
hit done you won that's my just stop
think about what I'm doing right first act was the first time the first time
you ever hit 91 was in a drill that's insane and so we got into the mound I
think the first one I threw it was like 88 or 89 and I think I was just like
like a little different break so I'll just warming up again and then the next
one was 90 it was like the first time I hit 90 with a full pitching delivery so
I start getting a little pumped up I think it's Arlen kicked in a little bit
and I just kept going and going and eventually hit 92 and then that's when I
was like man I can actually like try to get to 95 today and so I hit 1990 and I
think it's probably the most disappointed ever been about you yeah
Thomas said you're saying that 90 is getting annoying
like rethink my thought process like I think in my head like he said thinking
95 and start thinking I'm under it and like I hit 92 again I think and then on
my next throw after that I really sunk into my hips and I felt a lot more to
origin and like on that throw was when I get 95 and that's when I just couldn't
believe it
