- Why Understanding Velocity Starts with Understanding Data
Building a better culture around velocity means building a more informed culture, based on data, not assumptions. In this episode use data trends to dive deeper into velocity truths. We look at typical velocity fluctuations and how it is influenced by variables such as travel. We also discuss how to track velocity appropriately to be sure pitchers are progressing during appropriate times of the year.

In this episode, Ashley talks about the unhealthy culture that's been created around velocity, why it’s holding our pitchers back, and the many reasons why our understanding of it must evolve. Prioritizing pitching velocity requires a willingness to challenge the traditional views and approaches we’ve relied on for years. It’s time to have discussions about the many variables that influence velo, how to design training environments to increase it, and what it means to set manageable and realistic expectations for our athletes.

Although the goal of training is to make pitchers as resilient as possible, sometimes the demands of the game and/or the pitching motion cause a pitcher to experience pain.
In this episode we discuss the role of S&C in getting pitchers back into training and back onto the field. We talk about the cohesive management strategies we utilize at S2 Breakthrough, and how we use the strength floor to determine the training adjustments that are needed to keep athletes pitching pain-free.

In this episode we talk all about mobility. We discuss the information it gives us about a pitcher's trunk control, ability to rotate, and the compensations she relies on in her pitching motion. Karli and I break down how we monitor and train mobility at S2, and give examples of strategies we use to help prevent mobility regression while in-season.

In this episode we discuss how the S2 assessment allows the pitching and strength coach to speak the same language about training, programming, and each athlete's individual needs. While the initial assessment helps both coaches build a cohesive program for each pitcher, it's the ongoing re-assessment process that holds the program accountable and allows the strength and pitching coach to work together to create each pitcher's most optimal training environment.

In Series 2 of Redefine the Circle we’re talking all about strength and conditioning for pitchers. I sit down with S2's head of S&C, Karli Sewell, and talk about the systems we’ve created to build a cohesive training environment for our athletes.
In Episode 1 we highlight some of the details that make strength and conditioning at S2 Breakthrough unique. We talk about how training programs are designed to consider the rotational demands of our game, and more specifically, the demands of the pitching motion.
At S2 Breakthrough we believe strength and conditioning is most powerful when fully integrated with a pitcher's assessment process and skill training. We believe that strength and conditioning IS skill training and Series 2 is here to explain why.

My name is Ashley Sunshine, Co-owner and Head of Pitching Development at OGX, a data-driven softball player development facility. This podcast is an opportunity for me to share my passion for…
pitching. Pitching has always been a part of my soul, but during the majority of my coaching career I relied primarily on traditional training approaches, “teaching what I was once taught.” The team and resources at OGX have given me an opportunity to take my passion for pitching and transform it into a passion for growth. This podcast is an opportunity for me to share the things I have learned in the hopes that our entire pitching community can come together, challenge the norm, and start to redefine the circle. Thanks so much for joining this journey with me. I hope you enjoy!
