Quick Pitching Tips For You/No Better Deal Anywhere

I've been doing pitching lessons for over 24 years, really ever since my playing days ended. What started as helping out a few family friends on a weekend afternoon has transitioned into
a vocation that I am fortunate to have found.

BUT I am a victim of my own success! The demand for individual instruction and guidance has been overwhelming and while I am grateful for the support of thousands of young players over the years, I have been searching for the ultimate teaching tool which will enable TENS OF THOUSANDS MORE to gain the CONFIDENCE OF A WINNER!

For the cost of less than one 30 minute lesson you will have hours and hours of lessons at your fingertips any time and as often as you need! I am excited to provide the tips I have compiled from years of working with young players and listening to some of the greatest coaches in the game and put them on my website for you!

This will be the best investment of $21.95 you will make. I guarantee it! Thanks for taking a look and enjoy your road to pitching success!

College Selections for High School Pitchers

I hear of high school seniors wanting to declare their college choice right now, or in the next few weeks. It seems like a trend but I'm not sure why. Yes, it will eliminate the stress of spending much of the school year wondering and interviewing colleges but its not necessary nor is it a sign of superiority between athletes if you do or don't declare in the fall.

Many pitchers benefit by showing their stuff off in the spring of their senior year. A good start in the spring may be all a college coach needs to see in order for that scholarship offer. Sure coaches tell you that the scholarship money may not be there if you delay in selecting a college but many times these coaches are competing with rival schools for the same player and try to get an edge by holding the money over your head. This is a decision that should be on your terms, especially if you have done your due diligence and handled matters in an adult and professional way. If you are not sure where to go and need more time, take more time!

Remember, the colleges who may not have shown the interest you had hoped for last season may be coming back to you because other recruits have fallen through. Don't take it personally, it's a fact of life you may as well learn now, opportunities come for different reasons and on many different circumstances, be prepared to take advantage! That senior baseball season may end up getting you the scholarship you deserve!

More surgery

The news about the Mets great closer Billy Wagner was sad for me to hear. He has been a dominant pitcher for the past 10 years, probably one the hardest throwers in baseball if not the hardest. I always felt he was slightly unorthodox in his delivery. If you watch TV and see him in a game (or now on highlights only) you will see the short, quick and high take back before he uncorks the 95 plus fastball. It looked painful but how do you correct something that has given him so many years of success? The answer is you can't do it easily. The younger you understand what stress your arm is under the more apt you will be able to keep your mechanics fundamentally sound. Thus preventing serious injury.

A good pitching routine is critical to any young aspiring pitcher. As much as you will come across great coaches they may have trouble devoting the necessary time for you to stay at the top of your game. Do it yourself! Get your shoulder work done, do your sprints and core work....all on your own! Don't wait for someone to tell you what to do. They may forget and leave you without getting your proper work.

Drills (such as balance drills, control drills) should also be done as much as any strength and conditioning program. Don't let others control where you want to go....Keep working hard!~

Website and Video Lessons

It's been a few months since my last posting. Much of the summer has been dedicated to getting the Pitching Easy website off the ground. I hope people take the time to look at the site. Having a library of pitching lessons at your disposal will, I hope, give those pitchers a stronger foundation.

As much as I love to work with pitchers in a one on one situation I feel this access to years of tips, drills, and fundamentals on a 24/7 basis is a vital finishing touch to all of the workouts and bullpen sessions.

It's a mental game and a mental grind out there on the mound. With the video lessons you can have a mental "self help" session any time.

Thanks to all of those who have joined the site and thanks in advance to all who will take a look in the future.
