This is a practical guide full of information for pitchers and coaches at every level from Little League to the major league. It covers the three keys to pitching success: technique, training and thinking. The section on technique shows how to apply 3-D motion analysis to pitching mechanics. The training section details the latest methods for conditioning the pitcher's total body and throwing arm, whilst the thinking section focuses on the mental aspects of ptiching, including preventing game anxiety, handling postgame anxiety, and more.
