I have discovered that while much has been documented in finite details about hitting (Charlie Lau, Walt Hriniak, Ted Williams), and pitching (Rick Peterson, Mike Marshall, Bill Thurston), there is little to take catchers to that level. I have attempted to go to that level, beyond Catcher 101... the “graduate level”. It assumes that you have a foundation of catching knowledge on which to build. You have had success and want to improve. Some of these techniques are somewhat different from what you may be doing so they take time and practice to master; BUT they will make you better!

“Catching4Kids – small targets” is a primer for young catchers to perform, get better... build a foundation to expand, improve and grow. As the catcher improves, as the competition increases, more techniques can be added, expanding the catcher's scope based on need and ability. I suggest that baseball/ softball organizations (little leagues, rec councils, amateur groups) adopt this as a standard for teaching their young catchers; ages from 6-7 to 12 (and up). In doing so, you have an instructional path for your catchers and have provided the tools for your coaches.

Ever found yourself being a hypocrite and been angry with yourself? Ever struggle with addiction? Ever want to help your friends or clients with these issues more effectively? Perspective Alchemy is a practice used to explore and map the conscious and unconscious parts of mind. Perspective Alchemy encourages integration, emotional satisfaction, and self-knowledge. This process has some similarities with neuro-linguistic programming, voice dialogue, parts work, the completion process, shadow work, family systems therapy, and other forms of what I call consciousness alchemy as a whole. The book is a detailed guide to facilitating Perspective Alchemy successfully.

Ready! Set! Shoot! explains the basics of photography for the beginner.

Yes there is one end all, be all “Secret of Pool”. Here is your chance to learn it. This is a fresh approach to improving at any pocket billiards game. This is not a re-hashing of the same old techniques. You will learn how to play “your game” better. This information would be a great starting point for a new player but it is designed for someone that has reached a plateau and needs to push past it. I like to say “it’s not what you have. It’s what you do with what you have.” I can give you the information but it’s up to you to go use it.
