In this episode of the More Than Velocity Podcast, we sit down with pitching coach and facility owner Ryan Christensen to break down how real performance gains happen—beyond just collecting data.
Ryan shares his journey from high school coach to training under Tom House and the National Pitching Association, and how that foundation shaped the way he develops athletes today.
We dive into how he integrates ArmCare into a complete system—using testing, training, and coaching intuition to guide workload decisions, identify fatigue, and build stronger, more resilient pitchers.
This isn’t about chasing numbers. It’s about building a process that actually translates to performance.
