ArmCare Elite (ACE) is a specialized community that will launch in 2023. Membership is free and exclusive to experts who hold dual credentials, meaning they are both Certified ArmCare Specialists and Certified Pitching Biomechanists. The community offers remote and in-person events focused on deep data-led insights for individualized player development and so much more.
Expert Community Access: Like-minded experts will utilize the ACE community to exchange ideas, receive thought provoking questions, and supply answers for the group. The community will also help shape new educational offerings as it relates to advanced player development strategies, sports science, athletic wellness, tactical strategy, and talent identification. All members are invited to attend four quarterly meetings that we call Game Days, that include select speakers, sports science applications, and new updates planned by ArmCare.com.
Access to Exclusive ArmCareIQs and ArmCareFX: Separate yourself from the rest. ArmCare Elite members are going to learn new methodologies and new metrics to gain a competitive advantage that will be above and beyond those who do not have the dual credential. Right now there is plenty of public education in existing ArmCare IQs and ArmCare FX segments on Youtube. These offerings feature short lectures and applied research reviews from public sources. These information sources are educating the masses, but imagine having access to unpublished data and new discoveries that are not available to anyone else for one year’s time? As an ArmCare Elite Member, you will have exclusive insights before anyone else in the world of sport and get a major head start on your competition.
Eligibility to attend our in-person ArmCare Elite Coach Summits. ArmCare Elite Membership is your key to advanced education and opportunities to network in-person. You will have a chance to have the keys to the kingdom and register for our 3-Day ArmCare Elite Coach Summit. This exclusive event is in-person and builds upon being a dual Certified ArmCare Specialist and Certified Pitching Biomechanist by providing an advanced certification called the ArmCare Elite (ACE) Coach. As an overview, this event will cover all aspects of training and throwing programming guided by strength and range of motion assessments that are blended with 3D motion capture for the ultimate coaching education experience.

Generalized programs in training the throwing arm are ineffective and can cause further imbalances and strength deficits. Coaches are seeking ways to individualize, but lack tools and resources until now.
Discover The Benefits
In the ArmCare Specialist course you learn new key metrics evaluated using player-led dynamometry and range of motion testing. And how to successfully integrate those metrics into customized programs for your athletes. This education is a must for any coach or clinician who wants to get the most out of their players and advance throwing health, velocity and command.
Designed to Advance Assessment & Training Practices
We are focused on teaching you how to improve throwing arm performance and health through creating individualized training programs based on dynamometry and range of motion assessments. Fatigue is the number one injury risk factor associated with throwing arm injuries as it causes weakness and compensation in throwing delivery. A program implemented without assessment may add to fatigue and create further strength deficits that can reduce resistance to throwing stress and cause poor performance.
Arm strength and range of motion are evaluated through 6 important measures focused on relative strength, shoulder balance, strength velocity ratios, arm fatigue, arm recovery and arm readiness. By having advanced knowledge of these ground breaking metrics, coaches, sports medicine specialists and athletes will be able to make the right decisions in adjusting training and workload and establish a strong performance process through our Player-First Approach that organizes observation, communication, implementation and evaluation of data.
Once complete, you will be a Certified ArmCare Specialist and be able to present your credentials publicly. The credential tells people that you are a baseball performance professional that deeply understands how to monitor the throwing arm and thinks critically in making throwing and training program adjustments to guide athletes in reaching their dreams.
