I was throwing across my body a little bit and it was causing me to lose some miles per hour off my fastball. But it's something that I've been working on and I'm starting to straighten it out. It will help me with the feel on off-speed pitches and I'll get a little bit more zip on my fastball.

I struggled a little bit early on. I didn't have my breaking ball going, but I once I found that, I got confidence and I was able to locate my pitches well. That kind of did the job for me.

We're starting to get on a roll before conference, which is what we needed to do. We're coming together much more now than at the beginning of the season.

With my method, you learn how to move your entire body as if it was one snowboarding unit instead of a person on a snowboard. It takes practice, the balancing techniques. You can almost call it a discipline. I would say my students learn quicker than what they'd learn in the conventional way. My method is that you are taught how to move as if the snowboard is a part of you.

The conventional method (of snowboard instruction) is lower body rotation - hips, body and feet.

The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
