Velocity Increase
"My perspective on training has changed drastically. When I first started, it was a completely different change and how I viewed baseball was not in a place where I wanted to view it, to be honest."
Nic Sloane is a dedicated baseball player who embarked on a journey with soulthrowers to elevate his game. He joined the program over the summer with specific goals: to gain more feel for his fastballs, develop new pitches, and significantly increase his velocity.
Struggling with Drive and a Stale Perspective
Before joining soulthrowers, Nic was facing a plateau in his baseball development, feeling a lack of the necessary "push and drive." His approach to training was purely mechanical, which had stripped away the joy of the game. He also mentioned navigating difficult experiences with past coaches.
how I viewed baseball was not in a place where I wanted to view it, to be honest. And it was just all mechanic based and it's just a game. Go out there, have fun and play it like a game.
Finding the Right Push with soulthrowers
Nic found the comprehensive training program at soulthrowers to be exactly what he needed. He praised their "top tier" workouts and the unwavering support from the team, specifically mentioning Seth and Brooks. The program provided not just physical training but also mental and emotional guidance.
Slow Throwers really gave me the push and the drive that I needed to get through what I needed to do in life. And not only just in life, but in baseball, on the diamond, majority, anything that I needed, they were. Therefore you can reach out to them 100%.
Transformative Results On and Off the Field
The impact of soulthrowers on Nic's performance was immediate and significant. He experienced a noticeable "tick in velocity," gaining 1 mile an hour on his fastball, with expectations for further increases. Beyond the numbers, he felt "more mobile, quicker than ever, stronger than ever," and his command on the mound improved dramatically. Crucially, his confidence soared, and his love for the game was reignited. The program also influenced his life off the field, changing his perspective on nutrition and helping him navigate personal challenges.
Everything's changed on the field and off the field of my life. I feel like doing this was one of the priorities that I needed and to get done.
We've helped hundreds of players gain velocity, get rid of anxiety, create confidence they never thought they would have, look at baseball in a different lens, and much much more. We are trying to help people gain perspective on what they are trying to accomplish. We are just helping shape real humans that want to keep playing baseball.
