Fit to Throw: How to Stay Healthy, Play Longer, and Enjoy the Game You Love
If you’ve ever picked up a baseball again after some time off—or joined the game for the first time—you’ve probably felt it.
That sharp ache in your shoulder after a few throws. The next-day stiffness lingers longer than it should.
It’s easy to forget that throwing a baseball is one of the most demanding movements in all of sport. It requires mobility, stability, coordination, and timing—especially through the shoulder and elbow. And without proper preparation, even the smallest weakness or restriction can turn into pain or injury fast.
The Reality: Baseball is Tough on the Body
Every season, clubs lose players—new and experienced—to preventable throwing injuries.
It’s not because they lack effort or love for the game. It’s because their bodies aren’t prepared for the demands of throwing.
Here’s what often happens:
New players start throwing hard before their shoulders are ready.
Returning players—especially masters athletes—try to pick up where they left off, forgetting that time off changes how the body moves.
Overuse creeps in without a proper throwing progression or recovery plan.
A few weeks later, they’re sore, frustrated, and spending money on physio instead of enjoying the game.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Fit to Throw: Your Blueprint for a Healthy Arm
The Fit to Throw Program was built to solve exactly this problem. It’s not about throwing harder. It’s about throwing smarter—building your shoulder, elbow, and body to handle the stress of the game safely.
Inside the program, you’ll learn:
How to warm up and prepare your body properly before throwing.
The key movement patterns that protect your shoulder and elbow.
Strength and flexibility drills for the rotator cuff and scapular stabilisers.
How to gradually build up your throwing volume so your body adapts, not breaks down.
What proper throwing mechanics look and feel like—so every throw is efficient and safe.
It’s a progressive system designed to meet you where you are—whether you’re brand new, returning after years away, or just want to stay healthy all season.
A Cautionary Tale
I’ve seen it too many times.
A new player joins a team full of enthusiasm. They start throwing at full effort from day one, eager to impress. Two weeks later, their arm is sore. Another week, and they’re sitting out.
Or a former player in their 30s or 40s decides to get back on the field. The mind remembers what it used to do—but the body isn’t quite there yet. A few throws too many, and that old shoulder pain returns.
These injuries are completely avoidable with the right preparation and progression. The difference between getting injured and staying in the game is often just knowing what your body needs—and giving it time to adapt.
Why It Matters
The game is more fun when you’re healthy. When you can throw freely, move confidently, and recover quickly, you enjoy every moment on the field.
That’s what Fit to Throw is about—keeping you playing, pain-free and performing your best.
Whether you’re a beginner, a weekend warrior, or a club coach looking to keep players healthy, this program gives you the structure, education, and tools to build a stronger, more resilient throwing arm.
