There are 3 things that actually control power: 1️⃣ Mechanics = How the body moves This is your athlete’s technique. - How they swing their arm - How they position their body - How they contact the ball 👉 If mechanics are off: - Power leaks - Ball control drops - Injury risk increases Simple check: Does their swing look smooth and repeatable… or forced and inconsistent? 2️⃣ Sequencing = How the body works together Power doesn’t come from the arm alone. It flows like this: Hips → Torso → Shoulder → Arm → Hand 👉 If sequencing is off: - Athlete uses mostly arm - Loses power - Overloads the shoulder Simple check: Does their whole body move together… or just the arm? 3️⃣ Timing = When it all happens Even perfect mechanics won’t work if timing is off. This includes: - When they jump - When they swing - Where the ball is 👉 If timing is off: - They’re under or behind the ball - Contact is weak or mistimed Simple check: Are they contacting the ball at their highest point? 🔑 The Key Takeaway “Move right → in the right order → at the right time.” That’s how hitters create power. 🚨 What Most Athletes Do Wrong - Try to swing harder with the arm - Rush their approach - Jump too early or too late 👉 Result: No power… and more stress on the shoulder. ✅ What We Focus On In This Program Inside PC360 training, we help athletes: - Feel the correct mechanics - Train proper sequencing (hips → torso → arm) - Improve timing through structured reps
