Who Is Dan Lazzaroni?
Today’s guest is a former professional pitcher who endured a rollercoaster of ups and downs throughout his career.
Dan Lazzaroni spent time bouncing around the indy leagues before signing a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres. After rising through the ranks, all the way up to Triple-A, a shoulder injury threw his career off the rails.
With his dream all but over, Dan had a revelation.
He calls it The Wave Method, describing it as “a technique and discipline of how to use the body to properly release a baseball while utilizing the energy within and around oneself to produce maximum efficiency, consistency and velocity.”
