Book: "Fit to Pitch" by Tom House
-----------
Book Description:
......In more than 30 years in professional 
baseball as a pitcher, coach, performance 
analyst, and consultant, Tom House has helped
enhance and extend the careers of many pitching 
greats, including Randy Johnson and Nolan Ryan.

......In Fit to Pitch, Tom combines his on-field 
experiences, 
weight-room workouts, and years of research
 to deliver proven, practical applications 
that will strengthen your pitching throughout
 the year.

......This comprehensive conditioning program:

• outlines essential training components to 
develop more speed, strength, and stamina on 
the mound;
• details pitcher-specific workouts for 
year-round conditioning; and
• highlights rehabilitation guidelines that 
help players return to competition faster and 
more safely.

......In Part I, Tom describes training components 
that balance strength building and pitching 
workloads and won’t tear down pitchers’ arms. 
He includes:

• more than 30 integrated flexibility techniques;

• aerobic and anaerobic workouts;

• both small-muscle and large-muscle group 
drills for conditioning; and
• flat-ground versus mound training cycles.


......Part II shows you how to set up a complete 
pitcher’s training program using the components 
described in part I, including daily workouts, 
between-game sessions, and a season-long plan. 
You will learn to design workouts to meet the 
specific needs and styles of pitchers--
starters, relievers, power pitchers, finesse pitchers
--and 
build your body and arm for peak performance.

......In Part III Tom outlines "prehabilitative" 
conditioning guidelines and exercises that help 
maximize pitching performance and minimize the 
risk of injury. He also shares his rehabilitative 
training methods, proved to facilitate the recovery 
time of injured players. With Tom’s nutritional dos 
and try-tos for pitchers, you’ll learn how to 
combine, rotate, and supplement food to stay healthy
 on and off the field. You’ll want to try the 14-day
 diet designed specifically to meet pitchers’ 
nutritional needs. 

......Tom House takes the guesswork out of physical, 
mechanical, and nutritional preparation, so 
that you can take the mound Fit to Pitch.
