= ANNOUNCING A New Major COMPLETE Resource Book On Pitching

Dick Mills and World-renowned Sports Scientist Dr. Brent Rushall Reveal New 'Ground-breaking' Research on Baseball Pitching in One Massive 4 lb, 624-page Volume with more than 500 Scientific References.

= THE SCIENCE AND ART = OF BASEBALL PITCHING

Discover what science has finally exposed about wha= t is wrong with current 'belief-based' coaching. Much of what is currently proposed is wrong, wasteful, and probably injury-threatening and contradictory to what is known in 'evidence-based' sports science. This new reference book finall= y offers coaches the first complete evidence-based formula for successfully improving pitching performances at any level.

Dear Friends and Clients:

If you ever wondered if there are time-tested and scientifically proven secrets to pitching success then this will be the most important letter you have ever read.

Think about this. If pitchers waste their time on irrelevant activities that cannot provide a performance benefit, what chanc= e do you think they have of ever reaching their full potential?

Pitchers today may actually be wasting the majority= of their time on activities that cannot help them become better pitchers.

Imagine learning years too late that the large majo= rity of pitchers at the high school and college level, and even professionals, wasted a great deal of their valuable time on activities that could not hav= e helped them improve. Many of today's popular activities are not only useless but t= hey are dangerous! Yet most coaches have been recommending for years activities= such as long-toss, weight lifting, pre-game stretching, and flat-ground throwing= as ways to improve when sports science conclusively shows them to be useless f= or beneficial development. What is done in practice governs what is done in ga= mes. Consequently, no mound work, weighted balls, pitching drills, and throwing bullpens at less than game intensity are all designed for failure. These mo= dern day popular activities have no scientific basis for improving pitching perf= ormance. None! This new, most complete reference book ever on pitching exposes the reasons why.

Imagine having at your fingertips a truly complete reference resource that will answer correctly every question you have ever asked about how to boost pitching performance! Just think how beneficial th= at would be.

All About Pitching has just published a new book - = The Science and Art of Baseball Pitching - A Coach's Handbook for Scient= ific Pitching. Coauthored by Dick Mills and sports-scientist Dr. Brent Rusha= ll, it is the first evidence-based book on pitching that is backed by sports science research. In fact, it may be the first evidence-based baseball book ever. It covers all important areas for a pitcher including aerodynamics, biomechanics, motor learning, motivation, game psychology, general and spec= ific physical training, neurophysiology, coaching behaviors and assessment, and pitching strategies, techniques, and current activities. It is a 624-page, = 4 lb volume, with more than 500 scientific references that disprove and dispute = many of the current pitching improvement myths that are advertised as being beneficial for pitching performance.

By using The Science and Art of Baseball Pitching= , you will learn the reasons why most of these time wasting myths do not and cannot work.

There is so much verified information in this book about how to boost pitching performance that most coaches are going to feel betrayed because they have been listening to others who they believed had credibility. They will now realize why they should have asked more question= s or demanded to see proof when 'researc= h' and 'science' were claimed.

= This Book Will Kill Many of The Coach= ing Myths that Have Stopped Pitchers from Improving!

The main goal of the book is to objectively dismant= le the myths in use today that have wasted time, reduced performance, and increased pitching injuries. This is achieved by using evidence-based sports science research. As well, there is the added intention of providing a road= map of performance enhancing activities that will help coaches teach pitchers h= ow to reach their full potential.

No should be no more guessing about what pitchers s= hould be focusing on in-season or off-season.

Many coaches have instinctively questioned whether = today's popular activities are actually productive. Now they will get the answers a= nd finally hear the truth.

Even the opinions and beliefs of many experienced a= nd successful coaches have proven to be counterproductive. Some of these pitch= ing Gurus' beliefs are very inaccurate.

The confusion needed to be clarified and many quest= ions that needed answers are answered now, because of the use of evidence-based = research. Conclusions based on published refereed science now show:

·         Why long-toss will not improve pitching velo= city.

·         Why efficient and smooth mechanics are the biggest factors for improving pitching velocity.

·         Why weight lifting or getting bigger and str= onger do not help improve velocity or reduce the risk of injury.

·         Why weighted baseballs do not work and why t= he 11 studies use confounded information for concluding they do.

·         Why pitchers need not build arm strength in order to throw harder.

·         Why throwing off the mound is less stressful than throwing on flat ground.

·         Why pitchers should not throw less than game intensity bullpens in order to save their arms for a game.

·         Why pitching drills are not a good form of i= nstruction for improving throwing mechanics.

·         How bullpen pitch counts can be raised to ne= ar game levels without increasing injury risk while improving stamina and spee= ding up recovery.

·         What is the best way to throw bullpens that = will produce better mechanics and develop command of all pitches.

·         How to train pitchers so they stay fresh all season and throw just as hard at season's end while feeling less fatigued.<= /p>
·         There is a proven way for improving mental training skills that will translate into improved game performances.

·         Why movement from the back leg to the front = leg is the biggest single reason for pitching velocity.

·         Why stretching before throwing actually lead= s to injury and a loss in velocity.

·         Why baseball endorses so many irrelevant activities.

·         How a pitcher can maximize his potential wit= h a sound annual plan

All these assertions are completely explored based = on scientific evidence, and verified training principles. Coaches at the high school, col= lege, and professional levels are going to be shocked when they read what the research says. They will be forced to rethink and reconsider much of what t= hey have been teaching and advocating.

= Why Aren't Pitchers Improving While U= sing Popular Training Ideas?

The fact is that pitchers who invest their time in = doing "belief-based" activi= ties will not improve and most will never reach their full potential. Belief-based activities are no more than guesses at what should be done. Although many a= re claimed to be "scientific&= quot;, they are not. They have not been objectively verified.

One reason that coaches have been using these activities for years is that they believe they work. And yet there is absolutely no evidence that they do or ever will. Sports scientists have pr= oven that engaging in those types of activities will not improve pitching veloci= ty or performance. They have shown also that most belief-based activities are counterproductive and simply time-wasting.

For years now, I have advocated against many of the current training activities that coaches are recommending for boosting pitc= hing performance...because I could find no evidence that they truly worked. Activities such as long-toss, weight-lifting, throwing weighted baseballs, = etc intuitively do not feel anything like pitching. Now evidence has verified t= hose intuitions shared by many of us who have pitched baseballs in serious setti= ngs.

It should be recalled that prior to the mid- to lat= e- 1980's, none of these activities were used by top professional pitchers. In fact, t= he large majority of professional pitchers during the last century did little strength training and most did not engage in long-toss or throwing weighted balls.

Two and a half years ago, I was an advocate of pitc= hing drills. But no more. After looking at the research, the evidence from sports science is in, and it is totally convincing. Pitching drills are not only w= aste time but can actually be disruptive to improving pitching mechanics. Unless your son is just starting to pitch as a Little Leaguer, doing drills is a complete waste of time, and may prove to be one of the most counterproducti= ve activities that pitchers can engage in.

The idea that drills improve muscle memory is pure fiction because there is no such thing as muscle memory. That is not how pitchers learn pitching movements.

In fact, motor skill expert Professor Richard Schmi= dt says this about the value of drills:

"Coach= es often use various balancing drills to increase general balancing ability, e= ye movement exercises to improve vision, and many others." Schmidt continues. "Such attempts to t= rain fundamental abilities may sound fine, but usually they simply do not work. Time, and often money, would be better spent practicing the eventual goal [sport] skills." [Schmidt, R. A. Motor Learning and Performance: From Principles to Practice. Human Kinetics: = Champaign, Illinois, 1991.]

= Pitchers Who Want to Improve Can No L= onger Afford to Waste Time

Thousands of high school pitchers count on their coaches to help them reach the "next level" so they can play in college, hopefully on scholarship. There are also countless college pitchers who need just a few more miles per hour= on their fastballs to reach their dream and be drafted into professional baseb= all. However, what is sad is that most of these pitchers will not achieve their dreams because they are getting bad advice from coaches who get their knowl= edge by listening to other experienced coaches. Experience alone is not enough f= or sound advice.

It seems that today's coaches have lost sight of the fact that pitching is first a skilled activity, and not a strength activity. Pitching velocity improvement cannot come from trying to build more arm strength but must instead come from developing more efficient and explosive= movements using proper sequencing of the body segments. That is what makes a delivery look smooth.

A surprising finding that has been around for more = than 20 years is that there are no muscle contraction changes occurring in a pit= cher's shoulder during the acceleration phase of throwing. From the time the pitch= er lands until ball release, there is virtually no muscle activity in the arm = that will accelerate a ball. What then creates arm speed? Certainly not muscular contractions in the arm and shoulder. Velocity results from the accumulated forces of the large muscles of the body. The arm is along for the ride. We = show the study that proves it. The arm, wrist, and hand have the responsibility = of developing pitching control, not velocity.

= Why Long-toss Should Be Questioned for Improving Velocity?

Another popular activity today is long-toss, suppos= edly good for building more arm strength. However, long-toss actually has no relationship to what pitchers do in games which is throwing downhill from t= he mound trying to hit the glove. Because an outfielder can throw a ball 300 f= eet using a crow hop does not mean he can throw from the mound with above avera= ge velocity. Why? Because pitching is a skill that requires transferring body weight from one leg to the other from a stationary position while moving downhill trying to hit a specific target. Long toss uses a crow hop, throwi= ng in an upward trajectory, and no fine intended target. A crow-hop allows the outfielder to build added momentum, something that is possible when throwing from the mound.

Throwing from the mound is a learned skill and very different from throwing long-toss. Emphasizing long-toss is likely to confu= se and complicate pitching as players attempt to incorporate irrelevant moveme= nt characteristics into a finely integrated skill.

There is no valuable relationship between long-toss= and pitching from the mound. Long-tossing is largely a waste of time for pitche= rs who want to improve velocity, mechanics, and ball control. Studies have also shown long-toss to be more stressful on the arm. If pitchers want to use lo= ng-toss as a general type of full body conditioning during the off season then fine= . However, do not use it for improving pitching velocity or accuracy. It simply will n= ot work.

The single most important activity that pitchers sh= ould engage in is one that many coaches actually discourage pitchers from doing = and that is - throwing from the mound at full game intensity. This should be do= ne much more often than pitchers are presently doing. This is the single most important activity that develops specific pitching fitness. Once they learn= a simple bullpen practice routine, one quite different from how pitchers currently practice, pitchers will be able to throw more pitches during game= s, recover more quickly, and improve in the control of their pitches. Their bodies wil= l be better equipped for the stresses of throwing a large volume of pitches in g= ames more often while actually recovering quicker.

= Pitchers Are Simply Not Fit To Pitch<= o:p>

Pitchers today are simply not fit because they are = not training their body to throw more pitches at game intensity. Their practice= s do not involve the Principle of Overload, the necessary feature to improve fitness. Pitchers cannot expect to throw more game pitches if they throw fe= wer in practice while getting ready for those games.

A basis of this problem is that coaches believe the= arm is the source of pitching power and velocity. But biomechanists have shown = that to be wrong. The arm and shoulder do contribute to pitching velocity but through the development of stored elastic energy, not metabolic energy from contracting muscles. The summation of momentum in the movement sequence of pitching governs how fast the elastic energy in the arm and shoulder is developed. The faster that development, the greater will be the release velocity. Sport science explains how this occurs and how it should be explo= ited to improve pitchers.

The evidence is in. Pitching velocity is not about = arm strength. Pitching velocity is much more about the speed of movement of the pitcher's body segments and their sequential accumulation of momentum resul= ting in the production of the highest amount of elastic energy in the arm, shoul= der, and other parts of the body. Without the development of elastic energy, pit= ching velocity cannot be impressive. Specific fitness training aims to develop th= is rarely discussed, but most important mechanical source of energy that can be transferred to a ball at the release.

= The First Evidence Based Reference Bo= ok On Baseball Pitching Ever Written - The Science And Art Of Baseball Pitching=

As an advocate against belief-based coaching and misinformation for a number of years, in early 2004 I hired a world-renowned sports scientist to consult with my wife Ginny and myself with the intentio= n of validating our instructional program which you may know now as Explosive Pitching. We wanted t= o know without a doubt that our teaching was aligned correctly with sports science training principles rather than using what I had learned from other coaches= and as a former professional pitcher.

This was the reason why I produced Explosive Pitching, which has proven to be a huge success for customers who had previously relied on our VHS tapes. Once they got Explosive Pitching, they realized = why I told them to throw the VHS tapes in the trash. The DVDs contained the scien= ce of what I had learned. Unfortunately the VHS tapes came from the beliefs of some of the best pitching instructors around. But they were only beliefs. M= uch of that information looking back was unfortunately incorrect.

After many meetings and conversations with this spo= rts scientist over the course of more than a year, I suggested that a book need= ed to be written on the science of pitching. But not a book like the many other pitching books out there that contain the opinions and beliefs of experienc= ed coaches. Instead, I felt it was time that a well researched reference book should be written that would cover every aspect of pitching while being ful= ly referenced using evidence-based studies. This would be a book whose goal wa= s to end all the confusion created by the many opinions emanating from experienc= ed coaches, who unfortunately, have little evidence to back their proposals. <= /p>
The Science And Art Of Baseball Pitching= is the result of seeking correct answers to questions about what is important for improving baseball pitching performances.

= Is Any Baseball Book Really Worth $97= .00...or The Price of Two Pitching Lessons?

The Science And Art Of Baseball Pitching= is approximately four times the size of the average book on baseball pitching.= To purchase four books would be well over $100.00. This fully researched refer= ence book that took several years to write is now available for USA cus= tomers for $97.00 plus $9.95 shipping and handling….less than the cost of tw= o below standard pitching lessons.

More than likely you have never paid more than $50.= 00 for a baseball book. And I cannot blame you because up until now every pitc= hing book out there, as well as most videos or pitching clinics, are the "opinions" of the authors or j= ust their strong beliefs. However, those beliefs are not backed-up with evidenc= e. So imagine if all those well intentioned opinions are dead wrong! How much = then are those videos, books, or pitching clinics really worth? The fact is that= the large majority of pitching advice that is being handed out today is questio= nable at best, rather than being verified by scientific evidence.

= Who Can Really Afford to Follow Someo= ne's Beliefs Rather than Relying on Scientific Truth?

The last pitching book, written in 1984, that had a= ny evidence at all contained only 20 references. Pick up most other books on baseball pitching today, even by those who are considered pitching Gurus, a= nd you will find no references...just the beliefs of the authors.

The Science And Art Of Baseball Pitching= has more than 500 scientific references that every parent of an aspiring pitcher can use and rely on. To ignore this reliable source of information would me= an many pitchers could easily become victims of mistaken pitching beliefs at t= he hands of experienced pitching coaches or a highly paid former major league = pitching instructors. Beliefs could easily take them off course and down the wrong road...a road from which they may never fully recover.

= Why Pitching Clinics Can Be an Expens= ive Experience

Imagine investing in a pitching clinic that was bas= ed on just the experience of the instructor whose beliefs are actually contrar= y to proven sports science training principles...principles that have been shown= to be applicable in all of sports. Baseball largely has ignored new reliable knowledge and continued to perpetuate invented beliefs. I call those types = of clinics "expensive experiences= " because patronizing them cannot only cost you anywhere from $200.00-$500.00, but worse still, can completely mess up your son's mechanics thereby costing him both velocity and control. Injury may even be the most unfortunate outc= ome.

Too many top level high school pitchers and pro prospects have lost velocity and control once they got to college. Many followed the training beliefs of their pitching coaches. One college pitcher even followed the advice of a known pitching Guru and lost 7 mph off his fastball and possibly as much as $500,000.00 to a million dollars in bonus money. He never got that velocity back, got discouraged and had a brief but disappointing pro career. He and his parents were heart broken. All because= he followed the belief of a nationally known pitching authority who used "belief based" instead of "evidence based" instruction.=

What would it be worth to you to have a fully researched "reference textbook= " at your fingertips on every facet of baseball pitching so that when you nee= ded an answer you did not have to listen to the opinions or strong beliefs of coaches or instructors but instead could turn to sports science for proven answers? Would that not be worth the price of two pitching lessons? And if = you want detail on every major pitching topic you will find it in the 13-page T= able of Contents. There are 58 separate topics (chapters) that are covered in de= tail and 20 pages of scientific references.

= Weighted Baseballs...Poorly Researche= d and Shown to Be Pure Hype With No Basis in Truth

Weighted balls is a hot topic, especially on line. I have been against weighted baseballs since 1996...although back then I had tested them and even recommended them based on the "research" that had been done until then. But listen to thi= s. In this book you will read why the much of that research is based on bad research methods and poor scholarship. There is no compelling scientific research underlying their advocacy.

My co-author, who is a research scientist with over= 45 years experience, read and analyzed every word of every study and literally ripped apart the bad information and conclusions that even some Ph.D.'s had published. Their work was not of an acceptable standard. You will read why weighted balls cannot work and the research that supports that conclusion. = This information is going to make a lot of people look plain silly including all= the websites and pseudo-scientists that have been advocating them for years. Th= ey have been wasting pitching time and parents' money.

Weighted ball advocates will be put on notice about their spurious claims.

= Why Did I Choose My Coauthor and What= Makes Him Qualified to Write a Book on Baseball Pitching? <= /p>
My coauthor is Dr. Brent S Rushall, Professor Emeri= tus of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences at San Diego State University. He has published 48 books and over 450 articles, book chapters, and psychology tes= ts. His academic recognitions have included the designation of being the foundi= ng scholar in Behavioral Sport Psychology and a world authority in Coaching Science and Education. Dr. Rushall is a four-time Olympic Team psychologist= for Canada, and has repres= ented Canada = at Commonwealth Games, World Championships, and World Cup events in a number of sports. He is a member of the Olympic Club of Canada. He has consulted with many international sport teams and organizations primarily in the field of performance enhancement. As a participant, Dr. Rushall played international rugby football and was a member of the first All-American rugby team. He has received national coaching appointments in the sports of swimming, rugby football, and rowing. He has been psychologist to some of the world's best athletes.

Dr. Rushall has honors degrees in exercise physiolo= gy, certifications in engineering, and is a certified psychologist and teacher.= His courses at the upper division and graduate levels have involved exercise physiology, sport psychology, and biomechanics.

Not only is he a research scientist and expert in t= he sports science field but a former outstanding athlete himself who understan= ds the science of pitching movement, the biomechanics, strength and conditioni= ng, proper coaching practices, as well as the psychology of pitching. He is also the first biomechanist to do a digitized video analysis of a professional baseball pitcher back in 1969.

Dr. Rushall is one of the fully qualified persons in the area of sports science who is qualified to understand and speak authoritatively on every aspect of pitching covering mechanics, physical conditioning, and psychology.

This book is intended to be "the reference manual" on scientific pitching. If you have a question about any area of pitching, you should be able to find it referenc= ed, answered, and fully validated from sports science research. No more opinion= s or beliefs of some pitching Guru; just plain reliable evidence.

However, in the section of "The Art of Pitching", you will read my beliefs about other pitching philosophies over the years, pitching mechanics, strategy, throwing all the pitches, and grips. Those beliefs are based on the science explaine= d in the first 48 topics of the book. My topics also go into detail about other pitching books and current pitching philosophies so the reader will know wh= at to look for when evaluating a coach, instructor, or clinic.

= Who Should Read This Book?=

Conscientious interested individuals at any level of baseball will find valuable content for improving pitching. Coaches at all levels, every professional pitcher who wants to reach the top of his game, = concerned parents of high school, college, and minor league pitchers are some of the = more obvious audience. However, there are some in pitching who may not want to r= ead this book. Why? Because they are just looking for simple magic. This text is unlike any baseball or pitching book you can lay your hands on. Unlike other previous books on pitching, this one does not contain any magic formulas, hyped-up drills, or special exercises because in sports performance there a= re none...in any sport. This is certainly not a book for Little League coaches= if they are looking for directions on how to construct a program. However, the= y could get a great deal from it in terms of mechanics and how to teach young begin= ner pitchers without spending endless hours on time wasting drills.

For parents of boys who are making the transition f= rom youth into high school baseball, it should give them a good road map of how= to help prepare their sons for making the transition.

This is also a book for parents who are serious abo= ut ensuring their sons will have the best opportunity to reach their full potential in = high school, college, and professional baseball. For parents trying to help their sons decide on a college program, this book will give them guidance and help them to determine the pointed questions they should ask about each school's conditioning, training, and mechanics philosophy. That should have a big im= pact on their son's ultimate decision.

This book is not for bedtime reading but instead sh= ould sit on the shelf of every baseball coach or serious pitcher who has always wondered how to improve pitching while reducing injuries. If professional baseball followed the advice in this book it could possibly save millions of dollars lost through arm injuries.

= No Drills or Magic Bullets of any Sort...Just Time-tested Performance Enhancement

There are no magic drills for improving pitching. In fact, you will learn why drills are the basis of many of today's problems in pitching mechanics. Fully documented evidence of why sports science discour= ages drills for the most part in all sports is provided.

Also, you will not find any magic techniques or exercises of any sort. If you want instant magic anything...find another sp= ort because pitching is a family of learned skills...just like golf and tennis. However, if pitchers spend their time on activities that are proven to work= as presented in this book, then they have a strong chance to reach their full potential as a pitcher. Engaging in activities that only waste time will be counterproductive.

Pitching is a full body-explosive movement skill. If you want explosive exercises get my Conditioning The Pitcher For Power DVD's.

= Will Every Coach Agree With What Is I= n This Book?

Will everybody in baseball agree with what is writt= en in this book? Certainly not. We already know that baseball has largely been= a "belief-based" bastio= n for coaches' opinions. Beliefs are difficult to change. Those in baseball who do not agree with this book's content will have to provide evidence that scien= ce reported is wrong and provide objective evidence their methods work. Experi= ence and self-reporting is not evidence. A few good self-serving stories or anecdotes do not provide evidence that anything works.

There is no evidence that weight training or long-t= oss improves pitching velocity. The basic question is "how could they?" Pitching velocity is all about speed of movement and skilled employment of bodily resources...not arm strength. The price of this book is justified alone by the section dealing with the neurophysiology and biomechanics. Finally, you will read the evidence as to= why neither weight training nor long-toss can improve velocity...ever.

What about the studies that have been out there on weighted baseball improving velocity? After looking at and reading "all" the studies my co-author concluded that most of the studies were flawed and unacceptable with scient= ific standards. That section is explored extensively. After you have read it, th= ere will be no doubt in your mind that weighted baseballs are a waste of time a= nd money. That will be hard for those who have staked their beliefs and busine= sses on the use of weighted balls.

= Be Able to Throw More Pitches, Improve Mechanics and Command, and Then Go Deeper into Games<= /p>
Have you ever wondered how a starting pitcher is supposed to be ready to throw 100 pitches in a game by throwing only 30-40 = in practice...sometimes at 75-80% of game intensity? Does that make sense in t= erms of what is know about learning skills and increasing fitness? Of course not, yet baseball coaches have discouraged pitchers from throwing off the mound = too much in order to "save their a= rms for the games." You will learn that the arm is not the source of p= itching power but is mainly along for the ride. If the pitcher does not train his b= ody to throw a large volume of pitches at game intensity in between games, how = then will his body be ready to throw 100 or more pitches in a game?

Could the counterproductive philosophy of non-speci= fic underload training be one of the contributing factors that explains why mor= e pitchers are incurring injuries? Their bodies are simply under-trained for improving= the volume of game intensity pitches that could be thrown. If the body is not trained through the Principle of Overload to throw a sufficient volume of pitches, the arm may not be able to achieve optimum mechanical positions and therefore, will be subjected to heightened stress.

Is throwing more pitches off the mound at "game intensity" a better solu= tion? The answer will surprise you and is fully covered. You will also learn how quic= kly the body really recovers when it is fully and properly trained to throw. As well, traditional activities and procedures followed during a game increase stress and fatigue rather than reduce them.

= The Psychology of Pitching Improvemen= t and Building the Totally Confident Pitcher

Most pitching books give only lip service to the importance of the mental part of the game with few researched formulas that= if followed can literally take a pitcher's game to the next level. The section= on the psychology of pitching provides an in-depth coverage of exactly what pitchers should do to prepare fully for a season, for a game, and how to th= ink during games. It explains how to prevent distractions from affecting performance. It even covers how professional pitchers can much better prepa= re for their heavy travel schedule so that they do not feel fatigued and out of sorts in away games.

This should be a no-brainer for you -- a chance to = find out the research behind pitching that does not support most of the instruct= ion being provided out there today from the large majority of coaches and instructors= at all levels of baseball. There is a big reason why this book is a must. It answers pitching questions with evidence-based research rather than using t= he beliefs of other experienced but misinformed baseball coaches.

Also pray that your son's high school and college c= oach reads this book.

Without this manual as a reference at your fingertips...you will be at the mercy of all the groundless time-wasting beliefs that just about every experienced coach today relies on...even form= er major leaguers. No pitcher today can afford that risk.

Once you read this book, you will feel confident th= at you and your son will know what activities are beneficial and what are a wa= ste of time. Doing what has been proven to work is the only way a pitcher can r= each his full potential.

Remember, if you are serious about helping any pitc= her become the best he can be...then not having this book could be the most ser= ious mistake you will ever make about how to improve pitching performance.
