The Better Athlete Better Controls His Mind and Body


One of my signature sayings is: The better athlete can better control his mind and body.

Training for baseball or any sport takes discipline. Having been a competitive swimmer where swimming intense sets filled two hours every day when I was younger and four hours a day when older, I witness much room for improvement for baseball players with the discipline of drills.

For all good baseball players, stage one of drills is to become familiar with the basic plays and proper mechanics of throwing, fielding, base running, footwork, and hitting.

Stage two drills are the ones that make the execution of plays and good mechanics automatic - where you do not need to think about where to go and how to do it. 

Training this way alone brings you far when you are disciplined to practice consistently to achieve the quickness of body and mind.

Now, what if you learn a routine that will significantly improve every practice? 

To save your precious time and assure you can more effectively control your mind and body, learn The Cyto Advantage drills that train your mind to control the ranges of every joint. You will be able to quickly master stage one and two drills with better mind and body control. You will have a clear advantage with the rate you progress and a higher level of performance.

Improve Your Baseball Biomechanics with The Cyto Advantage

Physics, angles, and trajectories are part of every throw, hit, catch, and run.

Help your child's mind and body calculate accurately and with power.

Skills and strategies only improve when the child's biomechanics improves. Repetition can help, but it can also reinforce poor mechanics. Coaching focuses on skills and strategies and sometimes task-oriented biomechanics. What is usually missing is the most important ingredient – your child's neuro-muscular mechanics.

With 630-plus muscles in the body, the athlete who learns to best control and utilize his muscles performs the best. The more muscles contributing to hitting, pitching, fielding, running, and catching gives more ability for your athlete to adjust, react, be accurate, have speed, and be powerful.

When you child has trouble getting his body to do what the coach is asking, it is because his dominant muscles are not those that make the desired motion. Identifying the muscles that are hindering progress and specifically training them gives the athlete the essential control to properly perform the task. The results are stellar.


The Cyto Advantages improves:
  • Body Control                   
  • Hand-Eye Coordination      
  • Power
