I pitched on a balance beam all growing up, doing everything from different drills to full pitch on it. It was challenging. There were days I didnt want to do it. There were times where I just could not stay on. But now, I look back to what all that beam taught me. Pitching mechanics like balance, smoothness and posture are just a few things. But it taught me more than that. It taught me persistence. It taught me to work through fears. It taught me that the more frustrated I got, the harder it made things. I had to learn to trust myself and not fight myself. Today I pitched on it for the very first time in forever infront of 23 pitchers at our The Packaged Deal event in Delaware. It felt good! It was still a little scary....but it made me think back to just how much I appreciate that beam and all of the hours I spent on it fine tuning my craft. If you can incorporate something like this into your workout, it WILL be a difference maker. However, you have to stick with it! This is not a one and done kind of deal!! Go for it! love to pitch.
