Summary: This book is excellent in helping set up indoor practices!
Review: This book is excellent in helping the coach plan pracitces indoors and also has some great drills for all aspects of the game. The 6-step warm-up routine is excellent for helping pitchers with their control and fundamentals. Coach Winkin has done a masterful job with this book. I use this book as one of main instruments in setting up my practices.

Summary: Good for Specifics
Review: This is good for many baseball practice situations, but mostly geared for high school and college. Some of the early material caters primarily to indoor practice (for colder climates and/or for high school or college that starts early). The author notes that early on and proceeds with the rest of the material shortly after. Some good general ideas.

Summary: Good book but...
Review: Thr drills are very good. A lot of them are useful for athletes to do alone. But he tends to believe that we all have field houses to workout in during the winter. Here in NY we have a very small gym and have and even smaller budget. Some of his drills just can't work in our situation. Overall, I would recommend it to all high school and college coaches, just be prepared to adapt.
