Title: A Bit Outdated But Still Useful
Review: This book was published in 1998, much in pitching has changed since. Even Dick Mills has changed his views on "icing" and "long toss" since the publication of this book. The book still has a lot to offer in terms of conditioning, but with the field of sports science changing so quickly, as well as what we know about pitching, I suggest you seek something more up-to-date. Dick Mills himself has published a more advance and thorough book since, but with a $100.00 price tag.However, you can still benefit from this book. I still use my copy as a reference for some of the exercises it describes, especially those for the rotator cuff. Although you can get these for "free" online. The book is not on pitching mechanics, as such it still has a lot to offer in terms of conditioning. I would still recommend it, even though I would not consider it any longer the "Ultimate" or "Survival Guide" in conditioning...more like "Just a Guide" to conditioning.
