Abstract/Summary:
Being a professional pitcher is about so much more than just the physical act of throwing a baseball. Pitchers must be mentally and emotionally stable. They must have healthy habits both on and off the field. They must learn to deal with failure. All of these things, and more, are necessary for success at the professional level. At the National Pitching Association---founded by former major league pitcher and pitching coach Tom House---the coaches provide their athletes with more than help with their training and insights into the biomechanics of their pitching, they also teach life lessons designed to have positive effects both on and off the mound.
