to Managers and Coaches
How tired are you of seeing your star pitchers have to miss games because of sore shoulders or elbows? We can quickly evaluate the players' throwing motion and take a few measurements and see if there is anything we can do that will improve the player's arm durability. Usually there are things we can do.

This program is designed to prevent injuries which are all too common in throwers. SafeThrow staff will never tell a coach that a player may not participate in a game or season. We will not tell you that players of certain ages may not throw certain pitches, but will be happy to review the guidelines with you if you wish. SafeThrow screening is just a brief exam that tells us if a player may be at increased risk for future injury. Our goal is to prevent a player from having to miss games or seasons or even ending his/her career, due to an injury that our screening can keep from ever occurring.

Message to Players
This program has been developed for your benefit. It is very common, especially in baseball pitchers, for talented players to injure their throwing shoulder or elbow and then not be able to play anymore. This is because the best players are asked to play the most, and so they throw the most and the hardest, and so they are at the highest risk for over-throwing injuries. Strangely, it is this group of "the best" players who have future prospects for playing at higher levels that are at the most risk for injuries that can end those prospects. Sometimes these injuries lead to surgery, and they often end the season or even the whole future for the player. At SafeThrow, it is our mission to identify players at risk for these injuries, and start simple stretching exercises and throwing mechanic corrections which can keep these devastating injuries from ever happening.

Modern technology is also beginning to play a role in how young athletes receive guidance and support outside of the field. While our program focuses on physical evaluation and injury prevention, many players today use digital tools to stay organized and motivated between training sessions. Some even turn to conversational platforms such as ai girlfriend chat simply to relax, manage stress, or maintain a positive mindset during long competitive seasons. Although these virtual conversations are purely recreational, they highlight how communication technologies are becoming part of everyday life for athletes. At SafeThrow, we believe that combining proper medical screening with healthy mental habits gives players the best chance to stay confident, focused, and injury-free.

Message to Parents of Youth Throwers
This program has been developed for the benefit of your child. If your child shows talent and you think he or she may have a level of ability that allows him or her to pursue throwing at a higher level, THE LAST thing you want is to see your child's future in throwing ended by an injury that could have been prevented. These injuries are very common, especailly among baseball pitchers. However, they are being seen with increasing frequency in female softball players because of the extreme amount of overhead throwing fielders and catchers do. We are seeing them starting at age 10, and increasing in frequency the older the child gets, through about age 19. SafeThrow screening is very simple and quick and can identify players at risk for future injury. Simple stretches and throwing mechaninc adjustments can prevent these injuries and allow your child to throw as long as she or he desires; who knows - maybe all the way through college or beyond!
