Increased 

Pitching Velocity 

From tennis ball to basketball 

Dunking Ability 

Much quicker 

Lateral Quickness 

"Training as a soul thrower is, hands down, the most fun way to train. And I think the most practical too. Honestly. I came in as a really unathletic guy. I couldn't even dunk like a baseball, sometimes a tennis ball, and now on most rims, I can dunk a basketball. And I'm much faster." 

Eli Brisman is a dedicated baseball player who was on a quest to significantly improve his pitching performance and overall athleticism. He was looking for a program that could truly unlock his potential on the mound. 

The Challenge 

Before joining Soul Throwers, Eli felt he was an "unathletic guy." He found that traditional training methods, which often focused on heavy compound lifts and breaking down pitching mechanics into isolated components, weren't yielding the comprehensive results he desired. He struggled to find a natural "flow" in his throws and felt he lacked a strong competitive mentality, which impacted his conviction on the mound. 

"I came in as a really unathletic guy. I couldn't even dunk like a baseball, sometimes a tennis ball." 

The Solution 

Eli chose Soul Throwers because of their unique emphasis on athleticism and a holistic approach to pitching. He was drawn to their philosophy that making you a better athlete is the key to becoming a better pitcher. He embraced their training style, which moved him away from heavy compound lifts towards exercises focused on moving really fast and developing continuous, fluid motion in his throws. The adaptive, non-cookie-cutter workouts, tailored daily based on how he was feeling, resonated deeply with him, fostering a mentality of constant adaptation and improvement. 

"What stood out to me about the Soul Throwers is just their emphasis on athleticism, like, just so different from the average program. They're going to make you a better athlete, and that's how you become a better pitcher." 

The Results 

Through his training with Soul Throwers, Eli experienced a profound transformation. He saw a significant increase in his pitching velocity, coupled with enhanced command, conviction, and confidence on the mound. His athletic ability improved dramatically; he became much faster, much quicker laterally, and went from being unable to dunk even a tennis ball to dunking a basketball on most rims. Beyond the physical improvements, Soul Throwers instilled a newfound confidence and resilience that positively impacted every aspect of his life, both on and off the field. 

"I've seen my velocity increase and my command, conviction, confidence, everything. My confidence has just grown in every aspect of life. In school, socially, with girls, just every way. I've become a better person and more comfortable in my own skin."
