Ep. 171: Alan Jaeger: How to Build a Better Young Pitcher Without Breaking Their Arm (Pt. 2)
In part two of our conversation with Alan Jaeger, founder of Jaeger Sports and Jaeger Bands, Alan rejoins Jeff, Britt, and Brad to discuss how young players can build stronger, healthier arms and stay composed when the game doesn’t go their way. He explains his approach to long toss, the importance of building distance gradually and listening to your arm, and how throwing routines can adapt to a player’s age and role. The conversation also explores how athletes can recover from mistakes, practice their mental routines, and build trust in their preparation, while offering parents ways to help kids look beyond the box score.
