"This Book is Being Hailed as - The Key To the Kingdom of Softball Pitching!"

From the Author...

"I am a self-taught pitcher.  I learned to pitch by watching hundreds of adult male pitchers starting when I was 5-years-old.  I saw the ones that won most of their games and the ones that were not as good.  I am still watching and learning from pitchers of all ages.

Most of the teams I played on were championship teams, winning nearly all the tourneys they entered.  We were champions because we did things in practice and in the games that the other teams did not do, did not do as well or did not do nearly as often as we did.  The things we did the others didn’t do, that is what is also in my book.

Unless your instructor was a champion pitcher at a high level, they cannot teach you most of what is in my book because they don't know, they have not been there and done that.   

As a pitcher, I learned very early on how to win.  I pitched differently and used things other pitchers did not .  I used pitching tactics and I was very good at it.

There are a lot of books, video’s and DVD’s out there.  My book is different because I made sure I included what was NOT in the others.  Many of the chapters of my book were featured as editorials or instructional articles in Softball Magazine and/or the NFCA’s Fastpitch Delivery newspaper.

What I did, what my teams did and what my coaches did that set us apart from the rest and made us champions.  That is why I named this book Winning Fastpitch Softball.”

What others have to say about the book...

"Got your book three weeks ago.  Angela has been practicing your advice on building speed and I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how its going.  Angela has always had a confidence problem.  A month ago her coach gunned her and she was throwing 43mph.  This morning he did it again and she was a consistent 54mph!.  MAJOR improvement in speed and confidence!  I think both those problems are gone for good!  Thanks for making my 13-year-old a contender".

"Your book is fabulous. Some of the things you describe in that book are absolutely incredible. My daughter is now reading it and comes to me every time she makes a connection to something she has a problem with, that you have an answer for in that book. I just wanted to take a little time and email you and to let you know that we are 100% satisfied with that book and I feel you have so much insight into the entire the game, as well as pitching, that will help develop these young ladies into knowledgable players on and off the field".

Michael M.  12u coach, Indiana

"My daughter is a freshman and she just made her pitching debut on her varsity high school team. Using your advice from unpredictable pitching she just threw a 1 hit, 15 strike out, no walk shut out. I have been coaching youth and travel ball for 10 years and your information is the best I have ever read. Thanks for your dedication to the sport and to youth."

Larry O., Coach / Manager

"The kids love their books. One of them has even finished reading hers and is still reading some of it every day. My daughter loves the way everything is told. She's practicing varying her times of presentation. We play indoors and she used it.....guess what? She faced 9 batters and had 9 K's...so now she wants to keep working on that and then she wants to try varying her arm motion. A little success helps for them to believe. Thanks again. The kids really enjoy the game when they try new things and find success with them."

Coach Harvey

"The advice you have sent to my daughter has been invaluable, and the growth in her pitching skills in the past eight weeks has been incredible. She truly is learning how to pitch to the batters and not just throw at them. In their first game she faced a batter she had played against on other teams who had always hit off of her. This time the batter never got a good connection and never made it to first base. This girl approached my daughter later in the tournament, complimented her, and told her how frustrated she had been in not being able to hit off of her this time.Thank you again for all your support. Your advice truly has made a difference in my pitcher's life."

"I had thought that I would wait till I got back to the USA and started working out with a catcher before I mixed it all up like we had been practicing.HOWEVER, last night we were playing a very obnoxious team who thought they were all very smart and they started to get to me. SO, I started to bring in a little double pump, fireman’s ladder, etc. BOY WAS IT FUN!!!!!

They must have thought I had gone mad! They had all seen me pitch numerous times since I got back and then all of a sudden I started doing this late in the game and with good results. Hal, you should have seen my Dad's reaction- he thought it was great and I don’t think that I have had so much fun pitching for a long time!! Plus, they never even got good contact for the rest of the game.

I just had to let you know how it all went. I hope everything is going good for you and you are keeping well. Thanks for everything."
