No question about it Tom House is one smart man and I did get the chance to see some of his teachings. Although there are a lot of pitchers out there that are not House fans he has helped tons of pitchers over his time. I wish him good luck in his teachings.

Looks like a great site! There are three common themes when any pitcher is pitching his best. Not as rushed, the intellect shuts down and the motion becomes more fluid, effortless and powerful. The muscles also work in unison which helps greatly in preventing injuries. This is all a by product of the processes in the mind. www.pmpmsports.com

New Pitching Video Course on Nationalpitching.net

It is worth the $20-$25 you pay to take an online course and gain information that will help your pitchers improve their biomechanical effciency. Also, for those that don't agree with the NPA approach to science based data... worth a look to tell us what you don't agree with.

Thanks, Joe. I remember these steps from an NPA instructor I had for a while. He had worked with Tom House directly and learned the steps.
Good stuff.
