Pitching Philosophy

By Steven Ellis, former Chicago Cubs pitching pro

Establishing a pitching philosophy is key to being successful on the mound. This includes:

1. Hard Work – there is no substitute! Outwork, outlearn, and prepare yourself to
be the best!

2. Perfect Practice – Practice does not make perfect – perfect practice makes
perfect! If you are going to do something – do it right! Learn the right way.

3. Mental Preparation – if we have prepared ourselves physically we will have
confidence in our abilities. Concentration, focused, positive attitude, goals,
aggressiveness.
