“After exchanging our thoughts on the pitching motion I feel Jim Curnal can influence the youth of America by teaching them the proper kinetic motion that should improve their performance and reduce the chance of injury. Jim has done thorough research and has evidence that his thoughts on the motion are accurate. I think his thoughts would have been helpful to me during my career.”

"I think Jim Curnal is really onto something with his analysis of the athletic pitching motion and the prevalence of arm injuries. It’s really an eye-opener when you realize just how many major league pitchers have undergone Tommy John surgery over the past two decades. Jim has provided a valuable tool in helping parents and coaches reduce the number of arm injuries suffered by our young athletes. In my opinion his work deserves a wide audience, particularly with young pitchers. I highly recommend his approach.”
