What do you see as the biggest driver of arm pain in athletes under 14?
For years, the conversation has centered around breaking balls (largely discredited by data) and pitch counts (which do matter). But what’s overlooked is the lack of consistent build-up. Too much rest, followed by sudden high intensity outings, puts the arm under stress it’s not prepared for. It’s not just about what you do in games. People so tied up with pitch count!

I shared this on your Facebook post, but think this is a good space to share it as well: I think an arm build-up plan is important, as well as creating a good warm-up and cool down routine for pitchers. My thoughts around arm pain is that kids are not varying their routines enough and are repeating the same motions thousands of times each year. I think a break is important. I don’t mean avoid activity, but vary the activities in which you are doing. Kids are becoming so sport/skill specific at an early age, they are not creating well rounded bodies by changing up their routines that are caused by other sports or activities.

Really liked this routine. My 14-year old went through it before a recent bullpen and said he felt great.
