that has the real pictures for the product

and concept images for in-use renderings.

This is what the players wanted all along.

This will have the static image of the product - most likely just enhancing one of the renderings that I've done for the full photo. Potentially including icons of what this product does - and will later connect it to the design objectives directions as I explain my research down the road.

Imagine (Don't) IF.

This happened to a kid.

Kids are not protected as professional players are for obvious reasons. They don't have the same insurances or guarantees in life while having other life responsibilities as growing young adults. While professional players play a year deep from spring to fall, young student athletes might play year long as well, playing for school and multiple club teams. 

 

The  high school student on the right unfortunately have gone through this traumatic injury, and took a few weeks to regain consciousness, and more time to regain mobility.

Design Goals:

creating for the players, not for the protections.

Critical Areas
for Protection

This will say something about why these areas very important to protect, because the pitcher is vulnerable in these positions.

What I strive to dop

Consistency = Control

"In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. If you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted, if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end."
