Must have for coaches and parents July 30, 2008
This book is invaluable for pitching coaches and parents who want to give good instruction in pitching with a priority on good mechanics to prevent injury. As a parent and coach I know that it is critical to teach proper mechanics to young pitchers to insure best performance and the least chance for injury. This book and others by Tom House provide all the information you need.
for the older pitcher May 15, 2007
This is a good supplemental handbook for the pitching coach who works with older, high-school and college pitchers. It has good drills and theory for younger pitchers, but the scheduling/daily menus toward the back are a little much for a little-leaguer.
The Smart Way to Train April 4, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
To really appreciate the programs outlined in this book, you must be committed to them, as they can become quite time consuming. It makes the most sense for pitchers already competing at some level, so they can complement their pitching with the exercise routine, which will allow them to last longer and perform better. The in depth workouts really allow the player to appreciate all of the important factors that influence pitching ability. Altogether, the exercises promote good mechanics, isolate important muscles, and allow the pitcher to think about the pitching motion while working out. By dedicating oneself to such a nuanced program, a pitcher can gain not only physically but also mentally, as this book promotes smart pitching.

The book profiles workouts and exercises for players ages 13 and beyond. The book goes into extreme detail on muscle regeneration verse pitching and workouts between pitching dates. This is a must if you want to stay healthy and get the most out of your body.
