Review

This book is a must for those considering coaching or instructing youth baseball and a huge help for those who have already begun coaching. PONY Baseball (Protect Our Nation's Youth) believes in the protection of our participants and books, like Dan's, support our mission. ----~ Abraham Key, President and CEO, PONY Baseball and Softball

This book shows you how to teach your son and work with his teammates; monitor arm health and throwing loads; coach pick-off moves; and increase mound presence. The mental approaches taught in this book are extremely powerful and effective. ----~ Dave Serrano, Head Coach Cal State Fullerton Baseball

This book embodies positive youth coaching and the development of today's athletes. His understanding of the mechanics of pitching is impressive, and he communicates is a fashion that is understandable for all. Coaching takes a plan, and Dan helps to provide that plan. --~ Gary Adams, Retired UCLA Baseball Head Coach (25+ years)

Keller has great baseball mind, a terrific understanding of the pitching motion, and an unmatched ability to communicate clearly. If you are trying to learn how to coach pitching, this book can provide the foundation you need. --~ James Keller, MLB Scout, Baltimore Orioles

Dan's ability to break down a pitcher is unbelievable. With the detail involved in a major league pitcher, it's refreshing to break the information down into common language. I value Keller's experience as an asset during the long season. --~ Troy Glaus, MLB 3rd Baseman, St. Louis Cardinals
