Title: NOLAN RYAN'S PITCHER'S BIBLE : THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO POWER, PRECISION, AND LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE by Tom House, Jim Rosenthal, Nolan Ryan ISBN: 0-671-70581-4 Publisher: Fireside Pub. Date: 15 April, 1991 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.00 |

Summary: Packed full of cirtical information
Comment: I agree that the reviewers who claim that pitching mechanics are not addressed at the expense of conditioning miss the point. The chapter addressing mechanics is a very concise and readable summary of many ideas shared with the scientifically based biomechanical ideas from Tom House. This in itself already makes it sounder than the potentially dangerous snakeoil found in many coaching manuals that are guaranteed to lead to some sort of injury. Combine that basis with correct conditioning and you have a formula for avoiding injury and achieving the exact conditioning required specifically for a pitcher to perform consistently at a peak level. That was Ryan's secret and everyone has something to learn from him.

Summary: CONDITIONING IS PART OF BEING SUCCESSFUL!!
Comment: My perspective outlines this book like this. Without a proper work-out ethic, you are not going to succeed in pitching or anything else. I dont understand why people are knocking this book. It helped me to EARN a spot on the H.S. team here in Texas. Yes, pitching mechanics is part of the game but it is what you do before that game is what counts. Quote from the book,"You can blow a game without proper conditioning" It clearly defines in the book about mechanics and conditioning. Yes there where too much repetitive stuff about where Ryan works out at before and during the season but I rank it as very helpful tool to be better at the game. For all of you "Disapointed" you are not seeing the real reason for success for you or your son or daughter or players. CONDITIONING is the only reason you stay on top of your game. That is what Nolan and Tom discuss. I found that no other book will dicuss the both conditioning and mechanics in one book. I like to see anyone try to work on mech. and not work on conditioning and see how successful they are. It is the best. Could be better but still the best!

Summary: No Meat
Comment: This book was casual to read, flip through, but did nor have any real information that would help a pitcher. It did have a big name in the title.
