Everything You Need To Know About Velocity RX
Velocity RX is a sports medicine-based pitching development system designed to help pitchers stay healthy, improve performance, increase velocity, improve command, and reduce injury risk.
Unlike most pitching programs, Velocity RX does not start with drills or mechanics.
Velocity RX starts with evaluation.
We evaluate the athlete creating the pitch.
Because when the athlete improves, the results follow.
Most pitching programs measure the pitch.
Velocity RX measures the athlete creating the pitch.
We use sports medicine principles, movement analysis, mechanical analysis, injury-risk assessment, and performance testing to identify what is limiting performance and increasing injury risk.
Then we create an individualized prescription designed specifically for that athlete.
The G.A.M.E. Test™ (Graded Active Movement Exam) is a proprietary evaluation developed by Dr. Kevin McGovern.
The purpose of the test is to identify movement limitations, injury risk factors, performance barriers, and opportunities for improvement.
The results help create an individualized development plan for each athlete.
Every athlete undergoes a comprehensive evaluation that may include movement analysis, mechanical analysis, injury-risk assessment, force-production analysis, and G.A.M.E. Testing™.
The goal is to identify exactly what is limiting performance and increasing injury risk before development begins.
No.
Velocity RX is for pitchers of all ages, ability levels, sizes, shapes, and injury histories.
Some athletes come because they are injured.
Some come because they want to throw harder.
Some come because they want better command.
Some come because they want to reduce injury risk.
Some come because they know they are capable of more.
The purpose of Velocity RX is to identify what needs to change and create a plan to help the athlete reach their potential.
Absolutely.
Many of our most successful athletes began Velocity RX before they were ever injured.
The goal is not simply to help injured pitchers.
The goal is to help pitchers stay healthy while maximizing performance.
The best time to identify a problem is before it becomes a problem.
Velocity RX primarily works with pitchers between the ages of 12 and 19.
We also work with collegiate and professional athletes on a case-by-case basis.
Absolutely.
Most Velocity RX athletes already have a pitching coach, team coach, or strength coach.
Velocity RX is not designed to replace a coach.
Velocity RX is designed to help the athlete become healthier, stronger, more efficient, and more resilient.
When the athlete improves, everyone benefits.
Yes.
Goals are established during the Performance Evaluation™ process.
If an athlete does not achieve the agreed-upon goals during the program, Dr. Kevin McGovern will continue working with that athlete at no additional coaching cost until those goals are achieved.
Yes.
Velocity RX has successfully worked with athletes throughout the United States.
Athletes receive evaluations, coaching, video analysis, OnForm communication, individualized prescriptions, and access to the Velocity RX training library regardless of location.
Because mechanics are often a symptom, not the root cause.
If an athlete has movement limitations, force-production issues, or injury-risk factors, changing mechanics alone may not solve the problem.
Evaluation always comes first.
Velocity alone does not guarantee durability, command, efficiency, or long-term success.
Velocity RX helps athletes improve the athlete creating the velocity, not just the radar gun reading.
Most athletes spend approximately 30 minutes per day completing their Velocity RX prescription.
Training is typically performed 4 to 7 days per week depending on the athlete’s goals and stage of development.
Velocity RX Elite is a six-month coaching program designed to systematically improve movement quality, mechanics, arm health, command, velocity, and overall performance.
No.
Most Velocity RX exercises use body weight only.
Typically athletes need only:
✔ A hard chair or folding chair
✔ A throwing towel
✔ A small amount of open space
Most athletes begin noticing improvements within the first few weeks.
As movement quality improves and limitations are corrected, performance improvements often become larger and more noticeable.
No.
Velocity RX is designed to complement what an athlete is already doing.
We move slowly and systematically, focusing on one movement pattern at a time.
The goal is not to disrupt current training.
The goal is to improve the athlete.
Many athletes find that improvements made through Velocity RX positively influence other areas of performance as well, including hitting, fielding, running, strength training, and overall athleticism.
Yes.
Many athletes complete Velocity RX while actively competing.
Recommendations are adjusted based on game schedules, workload, and recovery needs.
Many athletes continue working with Dr. Kevin McGovern after completing the initial program.
Velocity RX offers several continuation options designed to fit different goals and budgets.
Yes.
Many athletes come to Velocity RX after trying multiple throwing programs, coaching programs, velocity programs, and training systems.
The difference is that Velocity RX begins with evaluation rather than guessing.
Yes.
Many of the same principles that improve pitching performance also improve overall athletic performance.
Good mechanics do not always mean efficient movement.
Many athletes with good-looking mechanics still experience pain, inconsistency, poor command, or performance plateaus.
That is why Velocity RX evaluates the athlete, not just the mechanics.
Because we do not start with drills.
We do not start with mechanics.
We do not start with velocity.
We start with evaluation.
Most programs measure the pitch.
Velocity RX measures the athlete creating the pitch.
That changes everything.
Save One Million Arms™.
We believe pitchers deserve a better way to develop.
A way that prioritizes arm health, performance, movement quality, injury prevention, and long-term success.
We want pitchers to continue playing for as long as THEY choose.
Not until injury chooses for them.
Most programs measure the result.
Velocity RX measures the cause.
And that changes everything.
