Cody Gabriel
Pitching Coach
My name is Cody Gabriel, and I bring a wealth of experience as both an athlete and coach. I graduated from Upper Sandusky High School and pursued further education at Cuyahoga Community College before earning my degree in Sports Exercise Science with a minor in Sports Medicine from the University of Rio Grande. Throughout my career as a coach, I have dedicated myself to mastering innovative coaching methods that emphasize arm care, mobility, strength, and mental conditioning. My coaching philosophy revolves around proactive injury prevention and rehabilitation. I prioritize teaching athletes the fundamentals of arm protection and resilience. For those dealing with injuries, I utilize specialized movements aimed at recovery and strengthening, helping to cultivate a mindset and physique capable of peak performance. I am thrilled to be a part of The Yard Sports Development organization, sharing our mutual passion for athlete injury prevention and recovery. For athletes, I offer comprehensive training plans that include throwing programs, recovery protocols, and strength and velocity training. My ultimate goal is to empower each athlete to achieve their maximum potential, both physically and mentally. To assess individual athlete baseline performance, I rely on the Rapsodo Pitching system, which is an invaluable tool in understanding where an athlete stands in their journey. Together with input from parents, we chart a course from initial assessment to achieving their goals, utilizing a blend of high-tech and traditional training tools. However, the most crucial element in this journey is your athlete's dedication and hard work. I look forward to meeting you!
