This is a fantastic book! What a wonderful "how-to" guide for the beginning pitcher, or anyone wanting to improve their pitching performance. The book is easily understood by the young reader and can be translated into usable skills on the field. Using this method of pitching, we have watched our son take the mound with a new level of confidence and continue to improve his pitching performance all season. I recommend this guide to any coach or parent wanting to prepare their pitcher with the basic fundamentals necessary to be successful on the mound.

As parents, reading The Dead Eye Pitching Technique was one of the best things we've done for our son's baseball future!

The technique taught in this book is great for anyone wanting to be a pitcher or improve their pitching performance. Parents and coaches can use the technique taught in this book to train and produce GREAT pitchers. The Dead Eye Pitching technique is a start-to-finish systematic approach that teaches kids to throw strikes consistently. The dead eye technique gives pitchers a system of basic skills to learn from and always be able to come back to. The kids learn not only the physical motions of pitching but the theory behind the motions. The book also addresses the mental preparation needed to be a great pitcher.

We have watched, with enthusiasm, major improvements in our son's pitching as he applies the fundamentals taught through the dead-eye technique. In just a couple of months he has gone from being an unpredictable "ball-thrower" to becoming an accurate "strike-thrower." He has also gained speed on his pitch by applying the technique. He is truly becoming a pitcher. The techniques and mental preparation he has learned from this book have made a world of difference in his pitching performance.

I recommend this book to coaches, parents and those hoping to become great pitchers. Developing a great pitcher begins with this book!
