> i know this is a hitting forum but does anyone have an opinion on the dick mills pitching program??

I am currently considering purchasing the program. Here is what I am impressed with so far. I made a call to ask a question about throwing in general and Dick Mills called me back. We spoke for about a 1/2 hour. Very intersting, very informative. He didn't try to sell me on what he had, we just talked throwing and he gave me other resources to consider. I finally had to ask him to send me stuff, I just assumed he would.

As a person who has a PhD in kinesiology (different focus than throwing) I think the principles of what he says makes perfect sense, the conditioning and "functional training" make sense too. I am looking for some good information on training/teaching throwing, for the long run (2 young boys who play), not just pitching. We have James Andrews MD and ASMI here in town and I have visited the lab they use for analyzing MLB pitchers (I have a similar lab but different focus). Barry Zito one of the pitchers mentioned on the site is a yearly visitor to ASMI and the motion analysis lab. From my experience all that they are saying fits together and would be a worthwhile investment . . . one man's opinion
