"I often get asked to recommend pitching tapes for young players and coaches--if you have the opportunity, be sure to pick up Bill Hillhouse's video series. He does an outstanding job of simplifying the mechanics for both players and coaches. They are easy to understand and do a great job of explaining to both the beginner and advanced pitchers. There are many tapes on the market that do more harm than good--I highly recommend Bill's pitching videos for anyone interested in improving their pitching skills."
-Jay Miller
Mississippi State University Head coach
USA Jr. National Team Head coach

“Bill’s ability on this video to translate what is a difficult skill to master into an easy to understand training tool is a credit to him and reflects his true understanding of the art of pitching. From the young kid who wishes to learn the basic fundamentals of pitching to the International pitcher who wants to take their pitching ability to another level Bill has everyone covered in this video. I would have no hesitation in recommending this video to anyone contemplating a future in pitching”
-Fabian Barlow
Head Softball Coach
Australian National Team

"This is a must see video for any pitcher, beginner or advanced. Bill simplifies things, and makes you realize the absolutes of pitching, and doesn't make things more difficult than they really are. I'm a firm believer of pitching being natural and effortless, and that you get better by just throwing not little drills, and Bill reconfirms this. Pitching is all about leg drive, elbow and wrist snap, and Bill does a great job of covering these two musts!"

"Bulding The House" clearly outlines the key components of succesful pitching for players of all ages and skill levels. In my opinion, there are very few pitching coaches out there that accurately teach and define the proper approach to pitching...Bill is one of them.
- Ehren Earleywine
Head Softball Coach

"Nothing has been over-coached in softball quite like the art of pitching. At a time where there are way too many "theories" and "drills" that have really complicated the game, Bill Hillhouse makes it simple to understand the techniques that MUST be done on every pitch. So many pitchers are overloaded with bits of information that contradict the other, they are left confused. Bill not only shows you the proper technique, but explains why it's proper so you can quickly correct yourself when you get off track. If you are going to work with pitchers at any level, this is a must see"
- Bryan Dewey
Head coach
Mercyhurst College-NorthEast campus

"Once again Bill Hillhouse has delivered one of the top instructional videos for the softball pitcher. The fundamentally sound, easy to understand format, and patient delivery will allow pitchers at all levels to properly start throwing a rise or make the necessary corrections to gain the extra explosion and benefits of this pitch.
Don't forget to watch the questions segment of this video for an added bonus. I recommend "The Road to the Rise" to coaches, pitchers and catchers at all levels.

"He is a very patient instructor who not only fully explains
the "how to" but also the very important "why." And he is one of the few who can adequately
instruct both one foot and two feet on the rubber rules." -Ken
Hackmeister, Executive Director International Softball
Congress
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"To be able to learn from a pitcher that has the experience
that Bill has, is learning from someone who has "been there
and done that". if he can produce results after six months
of lessons, I can only imagine what Alyssa will be throwing like
in years to come. he is patient, looks to get the most out of her,
and corrects when needed. Ii see no reason to ever look for another
pitching coach, as long as Bill is around. " -Brian
Ogrodowczyk, Erie Frost Softball Club
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Bill has a great knowledge of the game which should translate
very well in his teaching and instruction. His international experience
will also be a great
benefit."- Former USA Men's assistant and current Junior
Men National coach, Tim Lyon
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Bill has been working with our pitchers since 12/03.
He is very patient with the girls and conducts himself professionally.
His teaching style is effective because he keeps things simple to
understand. What he is teaching makes sense to the girls and they
understand why he wants them to do certain things. The last time
he worked with our pitchers one parent stated that she "wished
we had found him sooner, before I wasted hundreds of dollars on
other instructors that didn't help my daughter". -Dan
Russomanno, Ohio Explosion Fastpitch
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Bill's simple and effective teaching style was a real eye
opener to my coaches, players and their parents. It really is the
first time that many of them have seen how an effective technique,
can really make it all happen. They have been trained with the volumes
of videos out there on pitching, on what is supposed to be correct.
After seeing his demonstrations and listening to him explain his
technique, we are throwing those videos away. Bill not only talks
the talk, he walks the walk. " - Bob Conter,
President Central PA Krunch Softball.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Your help to our organization has been incredible. Your abilitly
to teach a wide range of talent is impressive. Also you willingness

-----------------------------------------------------------------
"This course gave me the opportunity to make a real compairison
of the pitching mechanics in use today, and to form a concept of
which is more useful. It is my second time working with Bill, and
the truth is his teachings and styles are very resourseful."
- Francisco Fernandez, Colombia Softball Federation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"This pitching course/seminar was necessary to undertstand
the importance of proper pitching mechanics. Congratulations on
this successful event.
Mexican Softball will be a HUGE promoter of Bill Hillhouse."
-Jorge Rosas Manzo, Secretary General of Mexican Softball
Association.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"I am excited about the style of pitching you have presented
and the way you counducted this course. I was very skeptical of
making changes to our pitchers in Cuba but, I now understand you
can give us much more than any other pitching instructor we've had
to date." - Rolando Alvarez Poll, Softball
Cuba
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"I am very pleased with the work and information you gave
in the conference. It will definetly help me better my pitching
mechanics and the mechanics of my pitchers in my country."
- Timothy Mena, Belize
Softball Federation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"I gained tremendous information from Bill at his pitching
clinic/seminar here in Guatemala City. I woudl highly recommend
him to anyone who wants to
develop their pitchers to be be world class." -Juan
Ruiz, Cayman Islands Softball Federation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"My name is Romeo Coenraad. I am from Curacao Netherland Antilles.
I attended your pitching clinic/seminar in Guatemala City from March
23-28,2004. Not only was it extremely informative but, I am very
impressed with how quickly you can correct a pitcher and teach them
how to get more out of their body. I will be using your pitching
techniques with my National team pitchers from now on. Thank you
very much." - Romero Coenraad, Curacao
Netherland Antilles
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Bill, I will be following the lessons given to us to help
make our pitchers the best they can be. In doing that, I will make
the changes you've advised which will make our softball program
better. I do thank you very much for all we receieved from you:
1. the demonstrations and explainations, 2. handeling of people
on and off the field. 3. the show you gave while pitching at the
exhibition game. I only wish hope we can have you in Arubua soon
and do the same things for us there. - Miguel Tromp,
Aruba Softball Federation.
