The Three D's Of Pitching Training And Preparation

Training to become the best of your ability takes time and patience. There are a few main ingredients that stick out in my mind as the most important way to reach and achieve the goals you set forth for yourself as a pitcher both on and off the field.

Hard work is the key without it you fall by the wayside and become just a normal, everyday player. You have to have the Three D's of pitching training:

Dedication - to get the job done, work more than what is set for you to do, and be strict and serious about the way you go about getting your work done.

Discipline - being early instead of late or even on time, having a fixed schedule instead of "whenever," and never putting off what you're set to accomplish.

Determination
- you must believe in your abilities 100%, during your training one important goal should also be to be better than you were the day before.
