Mastering the Rocker Drill

We like the rocker drill in order to teach guys how to effectively shift their center of mass. We cue it with a leg lift so guys can feel their center of mass moving and give them an angle to drive from out of their back leg. The leg lift also allows the rocker drill to be more easily transferred to an actual throw.

What separates Tread Athletics?

Unlike most training philosophies, we take holistic approach to strength, power, and velocity development. We don’ t just evaluate and address strength and performance, but lifestyle factors, movement dysfunction, and nutritional habits as well. Rather than fitting athletes into one cut and dry mold, we adapt our programming to address each athlete’s individual needs and goals.

Great video guys - been waiting for this one for awhile! Like you said I have been noticing poor lower half mechanics in my rocker throws and been feeling pretty unathletic. This has helped a ton!

This is a great hip unload drill as well.

How can you get a pitcher so quit short arming everything.

Looks like Clemens brings his belly button over or very close to above his inside foot in your example, that's what you're teaching against, no?
