"They've definitely helped me in every aspect of life, and I can't thank them enough. I'm so much more confident and have so much more fun at the baseball field and outside of baseball. Like, I enjoy things more."
Patrick Vienne is a 23-year-old college baseball player who sought out Soul Throwers, a company known for its unique and genuine approach to athlete development. He was looking for a program that prioritized holistic growth over unrealistic promises, and found that in Soul Throwers.
Before connecting with Soul Throwers, Patrick faced significant challenges both on and off the field. His pitching velocity was inconsistent, fluctuating wildly throughout games, leading to frustration. Beyond the physical aspects, baseball had become a source of immense stress rather than enjoyment. He found himself constantly down on himself, engaging in negative self-talk, and letting bad outings ruin his entire week. This mental burden extended beyond baseball, impacting his confidence in relationships and daily interactions. He felt trapped in a cycle of stress and underperformance, believing he might never find joy in the sport again.
"Baseball was the only thing that mattered. And if it didn't go well that day, then my fucking life was. Was over."
Patrick chose Soul Throwers because of their distinct marketing and genuine philosophy. Unlike other programs that made grand, often unrealistic promises about velocity gains or pain-free throwing, Soul Throwers focused on a commitment to doing whatever they could to help, fostering a relationship built on mutual trust. This resonated deeply with Patrick, who was tired of superficial solutions. The training itself was revolutionary for him. Having previously relied on heavy weightlifting, he was surprised by Soul Throwers' unique workouts that, despite not using heavy weights, left him feeling "dead" but also more "in tune," "relaxed," and with improved proprioception. This innovative approach allowed him to build strength and athleticism without the typical strain and tightness associated with traditional methods.
"They promised they would do whatever they could to help. And that's really all I needed to hear, you know, is that they would work with me and they would trust me as long as I trusted them."
The impact of Soul Throwers on Patrick's life has been profound and multifaceted. His pitching velocity has seen a steady increase, and crucially, his consistency throughout games has dramatically improved. He now feels significantly healthier when throwing, experiencing far fewer aches and pains, and his arm feels better daily. Beyond the mound, Patrick's athleticism has soared; he's faster, can jump higher, and has gained muscle and leaned out without heavy lifting.
The most significant transformation, however, has been in his mindset. Patrick is now a much more confident person, not just in baseball but in all aspects of his life. He's overcome negative self-talk, enjoys his relationships more, and has rediscovered the fun in baseball. Bad outings no longer derail his entire week; he's learned to let them go, trusting in the process and the guidance from Seth and Brooks. This newfound clarity and confidence have extended to his personal life, helping him identify what truly matters and drown out external noise. Patrick plans to continue working with Soul Throwers for the foreseeable future, recognizing that their impact goes far beyond the game.
"They've definitely helped me in every aspect of life, and I can't thank them enough. I'm so much more confident and have so much more fun at the baseball field and outside of baseball. Like, I enjoy things more."
