Saving the Athletic Elbow

Prevent UCL Injuries Before They Happen

A step-by-step program for Little League and travel ball coaches to keep athletes healthy, improve movement quality, and reduce elbow injuries.

Every year, thousands of youth baseball players suffer from UCL injuries—some requiring surgery before they even reach high school.

Coaches are often blamed, but most don’t have access to science-backed strategies to prevent these injuries.

The truth: It’s not just about pitch counts or velocity. The biggest factor is movement quality.

Introducing Saving the Athletic Elbow

A coach-friendly program designed by Chuck Wolf, international educator and biomechanics expert, to help you:

Identify poor movement patterns before they lead to injury
Teach athletes simple drills that improve arm health
Build confidence in your coaching without needing medical training
Protect players’ futures while keeping them on the field all season

Is This Program Right for You?

Saving the Athletic Elbow was designed specifically for:

⚾ Volunteer and parent coaches in Little League and travel ball

⚾ High School, College, and Professional Coaches

⚾ Pitching coaches looking to reduce injuries on their roster

⚾ Athletic trainers, strength coaches, and team assistants who want practical tools

⚾ Parents of pitchers who want to protect their child’s arm health

If you’ve ever worried about losing a player to elbow pain or surgery — this program is for you.

I’ve had two elbow surgeries in my career, which data suggests should typically be 4–5 years apart, yet I was able to extend the gap to 16 years, with 15 of those at the professional level. Working with Chuck Wolf taught me that throwing involves far more than just the elbow, and that knowledge helped me evaluate and address movement patterns throughout each season. The elbow isn’t the problem—it’s the result of underlying issues elsewhere in the body.

Meet the Coaches' Coach

Chuck Wolf’s journey began on the baseball diamond, where he experienced firsthand the physical demands and challenges of playing professionally. His time in the game sparked a deeper curiosity about how the body works, how athletes move, and why so many players face recurring injuries.

After his playing career, he pursued a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology, specializing in applied biomechanics, which became the foundation of his life’s work.

Over the past four decades, he has worked with more than 30,000 clients, ranging from youth athletes and rehabilitation patients to elite performers across Major League Baseball, the NBA, the NFL, Olympic programs, golf tours, and track and field. His ability to bridge science with application has made him a trusted resource for athletes, coaches, and organizations around the world.

Chuck Wolf, Founder of Human Motion Associates, has spent decades redefining athletic performance and injury resilience through his groundbreaking work in biomechanics and chain reaction pathways. His next chapter focuses on one of sports medicine’s most pressing challenges—the ulnar collateral ligament, often linked to “Tommy John surgery”—bringing innovative strategies to both treat and prevent these injuries. I’ve sent my athletes to Chuck for years and highly recommend his transcendent approach to athletic elbow care.

When I developed elbow pain in high school, my coach sent me to Chuck, who quickly suspected a serious issue and referred me to a top orthopedic surgeon. After my diagnosis, Chuck’s gait and motion analysis revealed limited hip mobility and flawed mechanics, including an overly long stride that stressed my elbow. With his guidance, I rehabbed, improved my mechanics, and now throw more efficiently with greater command and velocity while reducing stress on my arm.
