The body pillar · ORIGIN Player Development Program
ORIGIN Guard.
The body pillar’s core program.
Her arm has a plan.
Guard is the body pillar’s core program and the club’s athlete health standard. Every ORIGIN player is in it, and it is built for the arm and the knees she will have at 22.
The work.
Her load in the circle is planned, per game and per weekend, with rest between, and big weekends are built with her arm in mind. The catcher’s day is planned the same way. She is taught to know her body, to say when something is wrong, and to take recovery as part of the work.
The standard.
Growth windows are respected, and the work is matched to her maturation rather than her birthday. Rest has its place, because that is how an arm stays strong season after season.
Grounded in current research on workload, recovery, growth and the long-term development of the female athlete.
On the field.
A player who can throw on Sunday because of how Friday and Saturday were planned, and who still loves throwing at 22.
Where it leads.
Conditioning builds the athlete on this foundation. Fuel feeds her. Battery’s workload is planned here.
Sore is part of the work. Hurt is a signal, and guarding the athlete is the job.
Nobody gets better by hurting.
