"Like, baseball, it used to be so quick. It used to be very fast. Now I get on the mound, and everything slows down. Everything's fun again, and it makes me want to work a lot harder." 

Mark Graham is an incoming junior in college with a deep passion for baseball. Like many dedicated athletes, he's always striving for improvement and looking for ways to elevate his game to the next level. 

Struggling with Underperformance and Frustration 

During his sophomore year, Mark found himself in a rut. He wasn't getting the strikeouts he wanted, his throwing velocity was lower than he felt it should be, and he wasn't producing at the level he knew he was capable of. The game, which he loved, had started to feel fast-paced and overwhelming, leading to a decline in enjoyment and confidence. 

"Around my sophomore year, I didn't have a lot of strikeouts. I was throwing pretty slow, and I wasn't really producing what I thought I should have been." 

Beyond the physical challenges, Mark also struggled with the mental pressures of college baseball, often worrying too much about what his coaches thought rather than focusing on his own performance and development. 

Finding a Transformative Approach with Soul Throwers 

Knowing he needed a significant change to continue playing the game he loved, Mark decided to sign up for a program with Soul Throwers. From the very first few weeks, he noticed a profound difference in their approach to training. 

Soul Throwers, led by Brooks, offered a philosophy that went beyond traditional baseball coaching. It focused not just on the physical act of throwing, but on a holistic understanding of movement, intent, and even aspects outside of baseball, like general lifting and mindset. 

"I noticed that, like, how Brooks thinks and how he teaches us to, like, think about the throw and just. Just lifting and just stuff outside of baseball is completely different than what I've been learning for half of my life." 

This unique perspective helped Mark develop a deeper understanding of his body and his movements, fostering a mindful approach to every aspect of his training. 

The Transformation: Higher Velocity, Renewed Joy, and Unshakeable Confidence 

The results for Mark have been nothing short of transformative. His velocity has significantly increased, and he continues to chase higher numbers, which was his ultimate goal. More importantly, his entire experience of playing baseball has changed. 

"My velocity has gone up. That's the main thing. It's gone up quite a bit. And hopefully I can keep climbing and just keep chasing that higher number." 

The game is now
