PITCHING CENTRAL

Reason #1 you don’t want to miss attending the Ultimate Pitching Coaches Boot Camp in Houston Texas-

Mike Marshall

The Most Outspoken and Controversial Man in Baseball is ONLY going to be heard in a very few select places in 2007…and You are invited for a front row seat at the fireworks show! But do not delay. The seats are already filling up Fast! There are less than 100 left!

 On Dec 7-9^th 2007 we will be holding our 7^th Annual Pitching Symposium in Houston Texas.  One of this years keynote speakers is Mike Marshall.

This brilliant, blunt, candid and straightforward man takes no prisoners. His approach is a no holds barred, in your face, practical genius. Marshall is certainly no shrinking violet.
The last two years the event has sold out by Dec 1^st.

There are two men that hundreds of Pitching Coaches at all levels of baseball turn to for reasonable and practical assistance with their pitchers. Why do they turn to these two men?

·  These two men are truly more interested in ‘getting it right’ than in ‘being thought of as right’…or in ‘getting credit for being the smartest guy in the room’. They are teachers first. They don’t care who gets credit. They want to help each individual pitcher achieve his dream.  That fact alone means a whole lot to the rank and file coach busting his hump in the trenches every single day…so its no wonder why coaches gravitate to these two men,

·  They are reasonable…approachable…and down to earth. Their instincts are to share and teach and not to hoard, criticize, bloviate or to lecture. They are constant students of the game, continually studying gurus House, Shaw/Thurston (which is therefore Mills), Marshall, Jaeger, Weinstein, Dixon and Nyman. They also are students of experts in other areas such as Gambetta, Odgers, Santana, Versetgan, Ravizza, Hanson, Furey and Donley…just to name a few. 

·   They are on the battlefield every day themselves. To these two men, baseball pitching is not theory, a book tour, a DVD sale, marketing or consulting…it is hands on in the dirt and sweat of the pen.

·  They work with the same pitchers day after day…just like you do. They not only understand your universe…they live in your universe...and unlike so many other gurus they are intimately familiar with the common problems YOU are experiencing.

·   They have a proven track record. They have produced Major League pitchers.

·  They have failed and adjusted enough times so they have learned through experience what works and made sure you don’t have to go through the same long trial and error process yourself.

·  They are seasoned, experienced and have been around the block a few times. They will help you cut your learning curve in half.

·  Although they live a 1000 miles away from each other, they are partners. They work together constantly. They act as each other’s check and balances. Their perspectives and backgrounds are very different. And because of that they make a great team. One college coach once quipped, “Strom +Wolforth’ trumps any one of a kind guru.”

Reason #3 you don’t want to miss attending the Ultimate Pitching Coaches Boot Camp in Houston Texas-

Brent Strom & Ron Wolforth

Brent Strom- At the UPCBC, Brent will be discussing the issues of mechanical efficiencies, arm action, pelvic loading, utilization of the spine, the importance of rhythm & tempo, momentum, stored elastic energy and the new distinctions on how to keep a guy healthy which actually fly in the face of so much of the conventional wisdoms out there.

Ron Wolforth- At the UPCBC, Ron will take up the entire first morning outlining his new Combat Pitcher Program™, the crucial role of an intelligent and skill specific wake up/warm up, and 3 brand new distinctions…his Velocity + Command, his NEW Backshaping and his NEW long toss to mound back to long toss circuit.

If I were to send my son to a pitching boot camp I would go no further than Strom and Wolforth.  To have a former MLB Big League pitching coach and coordinator (Strom-Astros-Royals-Expos-Nationals) and one of baseball's most innovative pitching instructors (Wolforth-Pitching Central) in one arena at the same time is unmatched. These guys are two of the main architects of modern pitching.  They are around it everyday.  They teach pitching with an array of experience and the application of sound teaching modalities.

       Strom and Wolforth have a peerless understanding of the game of pitching. Not only will you get the best instruction on pitching, but also you will develop personal motivational techniques and ideas about the psychology of winning that will take you to the upper levels.  Expect to be challenged.  Brent and Ron will increase your pitching IQ to the maximum.

On September 15^th we will begin our PRE –Registration Phase- we take a look at how many seats are left… …And we will begin a Direct mail Postcard campaign to ALL College coaches and Texas, LA, Ark and OK HS coaches directing them to this website.

The cost for the PRE –Registration phase will be $249 and to add assistants, a strength coach or ATC will cost you $129 per addition. DVD’s of the event $299. And to attend AND get the DVD set of the event will be $399.

And on October 16^th we will begin our Late Registration Phase- we take a look at how many seats are left…and if we are still not sold out by October 16th …we will expand our marketing efforts again.

The cost for the Late–Registration phase will be $299 and to add assistants, a strength coach or ATC will cost you $159 per addition. DVD’s of event will be $399. And to attend AND get the DVD set of the event will be $449.

Again the ONLY people rooting for this scenario is the US Post Office, The Printers and the stores like Office Depot & Office Max.

The list of this years speakers…Dr. Mike Marshall, Brent Strom, Phil Donley- Hall of Fame ATC…consultant to the Philadelphia Phillies; Tom Hanson-Sports Psychologist www.FocusedBaseball.com ; Perry Husband…one of the most brilliant men in the world at pitch sequencing- www.Hittingisaguess.com; and Jeremy Jorgensen from Doane College will help us translate the kettle bell training protocol for baseball as well.

And of course I will be speaking for much of the day Friday on our newest distinctions on velocity + command bullpens and many other training issues. 

So as you can see, my problem will be getting ALL these fantastic people enough minutes. I will have the details finalized by October 15^th.

So, if you were planning on attending or purchasing the event DVD’s…do so now. They will never be cheaper AND…last year something happened that had NEVER happened before…we actually sold out of the Event DVD’s. And gentleman, when the seats or DVD’s are gone…they are gone.

I look forward to seeing you in Houston on Dec 7-9^th

Respectfully yours,

Coach Wolforth
