House Call: Why the World's Best Pitchers and Quarterbacks Seek This Man's Advice

It's a combination of a bunch of stuff. Primarily the thresholds with heavyweight training are really good for hitting, but not good for pitching.

When you're going down the mound, you get about six times body weight. I don't think his shoulders can handle that, the deceleration. I haven't ever worked with him. I'm only looking from afar.

House Call: Why the World's Best Pitchers and Quarterbacks Seek This Man's Advice

I loved to throw. And I was, if not, I was one of the best BP pitchers in the history of baseball. And I noticed when I was throwing BP, the ball would get away from me. I'd throw a ball that would hit someone in the foot. And I also noticed when I was walking that I was shuffling and leaning forward. And I thought, okay, something's wrong.

When I got tested, I thought I had a brain tumor or something. Couldn't find anything there. And then one of my best friends, we were walking toward the practice range. He said, Tom, I think you have Parkinson's. I said, what? All right, how do I find out? He said, call this guy. So I got tested and I did. They figured I'd been misdiagnosed for about three years. So I've had it for about 18 years.

And then... When I figured out the prognosis, I said, this doesn't look too good for me. And I said, okay, let's figure out what we can do. So I took everything that I've been doing with elite sports and started throwing it at Parkinson's people. And we're not curing it, but we're slowing it down.
