4-0 out of 5 stars Good Book for Older (12U+)Players
I was looking for a book to help me with my daughter who is playing in 8U this year. This is not the book for that. While it is an excellent reference, the book focuses on tools and drills that only the older girls can do. I would recommend it for the older girls but not for 8U or even 10U.

Well written with lots of details and good pictures.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good for the first time coach.
Alot of basic information.If you've already read one or two coaching softball books this one is not much different.

5-0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Coaching Resource
Kathy Veroni and Roanna Brazier have written a real winner with their excellent softball reference, "Coaching Fastpitch Softball Successfully -- Second Edition".It is the first book to which I turn when I have a question about managing my team.As a softball board member, if there is an issue on which I feel lost, I can inevitably find good guidance from Veroni/Brazier.In the latter case, Chapter 4, Building a Softball Program, has been particularly valuable time and again.

While written for the travel, high school, or college manager, there is plenty here for lower level recreational league coaches as well.There are whole chapters that can benefit any coach, including developing a coaching philosophy, communicating, motivating, coaching plans, and evaluating the players, team, and the job one has done overall as coach for the season.Additionally, there are exceptional sections on coaching offense, defense and managing a game tactically that are unique to this book.

I love the hitting drills finder in Chapter 8.Instead of focusing on a particular skill to develop, as other drill finders do, "Coaching Fastpitch Softball Successfully" directs its attention on batting problems or flaws to correct.What an absolutely brilliant approach...and of course, extremely valuable to a coach who wants to be more effective!Throw in the standard chapters on defensive and pitching drills and fundamentals, and "Coaching Fastpitch Softball Successfully" becomes a complete reference guide for having a successful season and program.

I know that this book has given my teams at the recreational league level a real edge, both on the playing field and off.Whether one is a new coach at the recreational level, or a seasoned veteran at the travel or high school level, this book is a must-have on your shelf.

5-0 out of 5 stars Perfect!
The book was in perfect condition and the shipping was right on time! Great transaction!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Tool
Love this book...has many basic strategies as well as drills.Planning from pre-season conditioning, to practice plans, to offensive/defensive strategies is included for all levels of play.Recommend to any coach who wants to learn more abouot how to coach the game. ... Read more

Product 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.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent first pitching book
Excellent book to gain a basic understanding of the windmill pitch.Good discussion of basic pitching drills as well however not all inclusive.Good illustrations to suppport text.My 8yr old daughter takes private lessons and this book couples very well with her lessons.We take the book to the park sometimes to use the illustrations to enforce teachings and feedback.For the money, it is invaluable.The Maven 1,2,3 Basics video is also outstanding.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Information
I purchased this book years ago for my daughter who is now a high school pitcher and hopes to play college and pro.We both learned alot about the athleticism and mechanics of pitching.It also includes great information about nutrition and warm-ups.Thanks Lisa for a great book chockful of valuable information!

3-0 out of 5 stars Just another softball pitching book...OK, but not great.
I've read many a book on softball pitching, and most of them tend to be promotions for the "cover girl."At least this one gave a little more.My disappointments deal with not being able to transfer much of this into mens' fastpitch.There are subtle and not so subtle differences in the games, and there are other pitches in the repertoire with men, as well as differences in the movements that this didn't capture.I expected more from a former mens' pitcher and coach, than coverage only of the womens' game.Maybe it was the promo on it that misled me.Either way, I didn't get what I was looking for.But you don't teach men the way you teach women.

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. ... Read more

Product Description
The definitive instructional book on the fastest-growing women's sport in the country.

Since the American women won Olympic Gold in 1994, there has been an absolute explosion in the sport's popularity among girls and young women. It is a game that is quite different from not only baseball, but even from men's softball. Now comes the first truly comprehensive instructional book, with the backing, and the accumulated wisdom, of the legary Louisville Slugger company.

Covering every aspect of this challenging game, including hitting, fielding, offensive strategy, and defensive tactics, the book features interviews with top-level collegiate, Olympic, and professional players and coaches, shedding light on some of the fine and more subtle points of the game, from scouting opponents to detecting a pitcher's pitch pattern.

5-0 out of 5 stars Softball Coaching Bible
Softball Coaching Bible along with softball skills and drills are two books that no coach should be without.

2-0 out of 5 stars Bits and Pieces of Useful Info
Pros:
- Variety of topics covered including fund raising, recruiting, mental, and play aspects
- Advice from several sources
- A handful of good tables and info-graphics

Cons:
- In many cases, about 1/2 of each chapter consists of the given "expert" telling you why they are "great." I realize they are probably trying just trying to establish their value as an expert on the subject, but it's very annoying.
- Rather than properly developing ideas a coach can use for his or her own team, there are brief overviews of some ideas and other ideas are often repeated only with different wording in later chapters.
- I found the chapter on pitching especially horrible.

This book is called "The Softball Coaching Bible", and indeed, in the sense that The Bible is a collection of stories being retold with a greater purpose, this book holds true. However, if your intent for this book is as a manual, then I recommend you pass on it and check out some of the other books out there.

5-0 out of 5 stars Must Buy For Baseball Players And Coaches
I have known coach McCoy for many years. He has devoted his life to baseball. He was inducted into the USSSA National Hall Of Fame in November of 1980, the New York State Hall Of Fame in 2004, and the City of Rochester, NY Hall Of Fame in 2005.
With all of that, and many team championships as well, his passion has been, and still is, torsion hitting. His book, entitled Torsion Hitting, explains how all parts of the swing at the plate involves the human body virtually from head to toe. Batting averages have increased from 50% to 100% for players who have used this powerful new way to impact the ball.
Many sequential photos, accompanied by easy to understand explanations, make Torsion Hitting a must buy for players and coaches everywhere. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Intructional Book for Players and Parents
This book was very helpful to me in regards to helping my child learn to pitch softball.As the parent of a girl who played baseball when younger, the complexities of softball pitching has been difficult to convert.This book is very user friendly, both to the parent and to the player.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Resource For Coaches And Parents
This book is a fantastic combination of the author teaching the fundamentals of fastpitch softball pitching as well as sharing her personal journey inamature sports.She explains her extensive background in softball, her impressive accomplishments and the impact that good (and bad) coaching has on the psyche of players.What sets this book apart from others I have read is that Melinda Cook Carpenter's main focus is not "How To Win", which is the primary focus of most sports manuals.But rather, her focus is on the experiences of the softball player and how a coach/parent has the ability to either enhance the players experience or completely demoralize them.She stresses the necessity of positive support and encouragement, and the teaching of fundamentals.This manual is about the enjoyment of the game and about encouraging young players to build self esteem and confidence.The author effectively does this by sharing her ups and downs at various level of competitive softball.In addition to her personal story and journey, the author gives detailed instruction regarding the mechanics of fastpitch softball pitching as well as illustrations of proper throwing technique.This is a great resourse that every softball league should utilize to encourage positive coaching that will ultimately result in retention of young players in the leagues. ...
