Training Philosophy
Thompson brings a young and fresh mindset to help our athletes be the best that they can be on and off the mound.
Athletes will learn how to properly warm up while completing drills that will help with pitching mechanics, add velocity, and prevent injuries.
Thompson also works with pitchers to improve their mental game and develop a great Pitcher’s mentality in order to compete at their highest levels.
A big focus is using the lower half of a pitchers body in order to create a clean, safe, powerful arm path to maximize both arm safety and effectiveness.
Coach Thompson looks forward to working with players from the younger levels all the way thru to the advance High School/Collegiate level pitchers!
