 The Mental ABC's of Pitching Jun 02, 2009
This is a book that any pitcher or any pitching coach should have. It covers every aspect of what it take to succeed mentally as a pitcher. Pitching, as is the rest of the baseball, is being able to repeat an action several times over a course of a game. Your body has the ability to do it physically, but the reason why people struggle is because of their weak mental game. This book can enhance any pitchers mental approach to a ball game. Great for all ages!

 Confusing Sep 17, 2004
Just trying to make up a catchy paragraph for each letter of the alphabet does not amount to much. You may get a few throw away one liners from this book, but confusion is assured.

A wonderfully wise and inspirational book Aug 31, 2001
This is a really beautiful book to read. It is a must for all pitchers and their coaches. But it is more than that because it is also about life in general though especially relevant to anyone who loves baseball. It is about being philosophical about our failures and being courageous enough to go out to win in the face of them. In that sense anyone who reads this book will feel a little wiser about life both on and perhaps also off-field regardless of whether they are a baseball player or not.

A wonderful book, but a TOOL that should be USED Sep 04, 2000
Noooooo !! Don't let the book aside because it seems to be a usual or boring ABC dictionnary. Take your time to look at the content. The paragraphs are linked together with a lot of callbacks. It really forms a great GLOBAL mental APPROACH to the act of pitching and not only a sum of psychological analyses. This book is mainly descriptive, based on experience and examples and that can repulse some people. However if you have the commitment to go further reading, you will profit from the KEY POINTS and PRACTICAL ADVISES given at the end of each paragraph. Put these tips into your practice program progressively, learn them, try them, adapt them, get feedback down the line and adjust. If not used, this reference will be wasted and will only remain a good book that you have read on the sofa. It is said "Every player and coach will HAVE one". Even if it is highly interesting only reading it, I hope that every player and coach will USE it to complement its program in the bullpen. It will be hard to write a better book on the subject before a long time.
