"Why I Teach Movement... Not Mechanics!"
Posted by Lantz Wheeler on April 18, 2017 at 2:23pm 1 Comment 1 Like
Tell me something please...
Why doesn't every pitching coach
Teach Movement, Not Mechanics?

Quick Tip #11
When you start coaching your t-ball team, the gathering of information from your library, the internet and speaking to other coaches cannot be overlooked.

There is Alabama’s Nick Saban, bloodless automaton.

In a little more than a month, the head coach of the…
