What, More Perfect Practice?: The Companion Guide to What's the Count?

Tom Dodd's first book, Whatâ€™s the Count?, gives the pitcher and the hitter a strategy to gain an advantage on one another in their one on one battles. These strategies will work for everyone but are executed best when players possess certain softball skills. Skills needed for a pitcher include command of her pitches and for a hitter they include an aggressive hitting approach with good pitch selection judgment. These are skills that can be acquired from training, and once acquired will allow each player to control the hitterâ€™s count, and that is the key to getting an advantage in the one on one pitcher/hitter battles. What, More Perfect Practice? is the companion e-book to Whatâ€™s the Count? and provides players with the training programs and training schedules to acquire and develop these skills. The programs are based on Tom's experience as a player, and on more than twenty-five years of experience as a coach. They have evolved over the years but the foundation has remained the same. This foundation is based on the premise that to consistently succeed at a high level an athlete must prepare better than their competition. This requires work ethic, a desire to excel, and the willingness to not only work harder and longer than they do, but more importantly, to work smarter than they do. Accordingly, Tom's training programs and schedules are based on a comprehensive knowledge of what to practice, how much to practice, and how to practice.
Tom began developing these workout programs after college while coaching Pony League baseball and he continues to develop them today. His programs have now been utilized by hundreds of players and the results from using them speak for themselves starting with his daughters, Sara and Lisa Dodd. Sara was an All-CIF pitcher and a CIF Champion in high school, and an ASA 12U National Champion in travel ball. Lisa was a four-time All-CIF pitcher and a three-time CIF champion in high school, earned recognition as a Gatorade National and California State High School Softball Player of the Year, was a two- time ASA 18U Gold National Champion in travel ball, a USA National Team Junior World runner up in USA softball, and an NCAA World Series Champion, All-Pac-12 selection, and All-American player at UCLA .
The programs in this book will work for everyone and help them to become a self-made player. A self-made player is one who works hard to learn the skills necessary to succeed and who doesnâ€™t just rely on natural talent. Sara and Lisa Dodd were self-made players. They learned the physical and mental skills necessary to compete with girls who had more talent than they did, and learned these skills from the activities and training programs offered in What, More Perfect Practice?. These training programs helped Sara, Lisa, and many others succeed at a very high level in the game of fastpitch softball, and now they can do the same for you.
