Accelerator Program Syllabus

PRE-REQUISITE COURSE
90-Minute Online
Before attending the in-person Accelerator Program, participants complete a 90-minute online pre-requisite course, covering essential foundations to prepare for advanced learning in live sessions. This initial course ensures a strong base, enabling participants to fully engage with the complex techniques and discussions ahead.

MORNING SESSION
Testing and Analysis
The day begins with an introduction to program objectives, highlighting ArmCare’s impact on players and coaches. Three case studies without ArmCare data are presented, prompting group discussions on the best actions based on available info. Participants then learn testing and analysis strategies, including exam techniques, team testing, and hands-on practice in a breakout session. Here, coaches and players work through warm-ups, Arm Activation, Hip & Core Activation, and Fresh and Post Exam assessments. Bullpen drills with live data rounds out the morning, with players completing exams post-bullpen to simulate real-life applications.

AFTERNOON SESSION
SPEAR Training and Playbooks
In the afternoon, participants dive into data evaluation, analyzing key metrics using the Coaches Portal and Mobile App. Revisiting the morning’s case studies now with ArmCare data, participants gain insights into data-led throwing programming, preseason ramps, and in-season management plans. The session continues with bullpen management, including flow chart use and staff management strategies. A breakout SPEAR training session introduces core exercises and techniques such as IR, ER, and Grip training. The day concludes with Game Day pitching management, velocity enhancement strategies, and Arm Pain & Soreness Management, each supported by case studies and recovery protocols, before a final review and Q&A.
