I just read an article about one of my favorite pitchers of today’s generation, Pedro Martinez and his comeback from rotator cuff surgery. What caught my eye was the rigorous workout Pedro went through and his mindset throughout his entire process.
With many challenges and adversities, the one thing that helped Pedro move forward was his willingness to receive pitching tips not only from his coaches, but from his mentor and #1 fan 
Ramon Martinez (former Dodgers pitcher). Ramon noticed several adjustments that needed to be made and helped Pedro get with those subtleties to get him back to the bigs.
So for all you coaches and parents, make sure to tell this story to your kids. And for you bullheaded pitchers…. listen to what your coaches have to say….

Ramon has been at his brother’s side the entire way, even videotaping every rehab game Pedro pitched. He spotted small problems; Ramon noticed his brother’s front hip moving too early, causing the mechanics in Pedro’s delivery to get out of whack.
