Book Description
"The Windmill Pitcher is the most comprehensive book on fastpitch pitching that I have read. It is an excellent reference for both coaches and pitchers." -- Ernie Parker, world-renowned pitching coach"I now have a comprehensive reference book to offer the people who contact me about pitching. The chapter on increasing ball speed is outstanding. There was an incredible need for this book and I thank Barry for writing it." -- Sherry Werner, PhD, lead researcher, International Olympic Committee's Submission on Biomechanics and Physiology"One of the most comprehensive fastpitch instructional books on the market today. A must addition for any coach's library." -- Art Certosimo, DuPage County, IllinoisBarry Simmons has been a pitcher in men's fastpitch softball leagues at all levels for 35 years.

5-0 out of 5 stars The Best for Reference for Fastpitch Pitching
The Windmill Pitcher is a great book for any coach, player, and parent.I highly recommend this for parents of pitchers. It is well written with execptional illustrations of the correct mechanics for the windmall pitcher. I've been around the game all my life and seen many good pitchers. The great pitchers have solid mechanics. This is a must have for fastpitch softball.

3-0 out of 5 stars Fastpitch Softball: The Windmill Pitcher
Illustrations are not clear enough for a beginner to understand.I pitched fastpitch for over 35 years and I had trouble understanding what was being taught.

Overall, I was not too impressed with the book.I probably won't use it as a reference for my pitching school.

1-0 out of 5 stars Fast Pitch Softball:The Windmill Pitcher
Review:The Windmill Pitcher

In the book, The Windmill Pitcher, it talks about how to play softball, and different ways to pitch.This book has the best description of how to pitch, and also different ways to pitch.If pitchers and coaches have questions about coaching, or pitching they can refer to this book.It has many different ways and diagrams to show and describe pitching.It tells you what to do for ball control, and what you need to do to improve your pitching mechanics.There are many different ways to pitch in fast pitch softball, such as; Slingshot, Single Pump, and Double Pump.I would recommend this book to pitchers and coaches that LOVE softball.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best material I've used
I have a collection of tapes from various people.It would seem that video would be the best medium for this kind of instruction.Maybe it's because I viewed and re-viewed the tapes so often, but I honestly got more detail out of this book than anything else I've used.The discussion of each piece of the mechanics along with drills I haven't seen on any tape was very, very helpful.

I would strongly recommend this book.It's straight-up, no hype instruction.Excellent for beginning or intermediate pitchers and/or coaches.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Informative
I keep this book with me all the time during softball season ! I have been coaching for 9 years and and have learned quite a few things from this book. It's nice to be able to go back to it and review. It covers the windmill pitcher from A to Z. Very Very Good ! ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Definitive Handbook for High School Fastpitch Coaches
I have coached for over ten years now and have found this book to be the most comprehensive, theoretically sound, user friendly coaching handbook on the market.Veroni has organized the information most effectively using charts and diagrams in addition to her commentary.This is THE book to purchase for both the beginning or experienced high school coach.

4-0 out of 5 stars For Youth Softball - Good Reference
This book is comprehensive and is aimed at the coach of a team consisting of younger or much younger players. Kathy Veroni sounds like a tough, fair, and thorough coach. Imagine driving a group of late-arriving players 10 miles out of town and telling then to jog back to practice. No wonder West Illinois U has a great softball team.
However, as a captain of a mens' fastpitch softball team, with players who play once a week, this book did not help me much. The drills were just too involved and required a much higher commitment and lower physical strength than I have from the guys on my team. It's like using a college-level calculus text when all you want to learn is high school algebra.
Having said that, the big plus of this book is the VERY EXTENSIVE list of both defensive and offensive drills. This section of the book makes the purchase price worthwhile.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for High School Coaching
This is a very well laid out book and easy to follow.I would highly recommend this book for coaching high school or college age girls.Might be a little deep for younger athetes but could be adapted.Many drills are included in this book, and I found the philosophies especially interesting.Brought out a lot of simple points I had never thought of before.

5-0 out of 5 stars Super Info-
Great Book! Gave mine to a friend and am ordering another. If you love your Coach, buy him or her this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Softball Book For Coaches of 12 & U and Up.
The book is a little more advanced than what I needed right now coaching 8 & U coach pitch softball, but it does a great job of showing you the direction your coaching should be going as the kids get older. That in turn has influenced how I teach these young girls. Many of the fine drills in this book are too advancd for my age group, but I was able to simplify them a little to make them easier for 7-8 year olds. If your coaching 6-10 year old kids and can only buy one book, this may not be the one. But it is a great book to have in your coaching library. The best I have seen, my kids just are not quite ready for it yet. ... Read more

This is the first book to successfully combine the philosophies of the world's greatest hitters, sports psychologists, and spiritual masters to maximize a hitter's ability to enter the Zone during competition.The Zone, every athletes greatest asset, is that rare mental state of enhanced space-time perception where the action appears to slow down, the ball appears larger, closer, and easier to hit, your decision making is impeccable, your hand-eye coordination is razor-sharp, and perfect performances are automatic.This is the first and only book on hitting which explains in crystal clear language both why and how a hitter can enter the Zone during competition and achieve seemingly impossible goals. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars High School and Travel Teams Will Benefit
As the head coach of a junior high fastpitch and also a 14U travel team, I stress the mental aspect of the game, which is believed to be 90% of the game. This book is particularly helpful for travel teams that play numerous tournaments each season. Having your players in top physical and mental condition, whether it is the first game at 8:00am on Saturday morning to the fourth game of the same day at 8:00pm,this book covers how to prepare teams to endure that kind of schedule. Energy utilization, positive thinking, and overall conditioning are addressed, while incorporating softball specific drills to bring out the best in players. I gave this three stars because it applies more to high school and college age girls playing on travel and elite teams. ... Read more
