How To Pitch Questions

1. He got the author to stop overthinking on the mound by Bryan emphasizing a quiet head in the physical sense.
2. Bryan believed that it was better to learn a change-up first because it would be easier on the authors elbow and because mastering a change-up is what separates the throwers from the pitchers.
3. By imagining that you are making an OK sign and wrapping it around the ball.
4. A change-up works because the slight difference and deception is enought to upset the batters timing and balance, tricking the batter into swinging to early.
5. What makes a good pitching coach is by turning his pitchers into self-coaches.

1. What we can learn from the pitching coach that could translate to how we learn in school or with writing is maybe by making ourselves become better writers or listeners.
2. The equivalent of a change-up in writing is probably writing in general because you have to think of what you want to say and what you want to write about.
3. What I think the author is saying is that you can fail in many ways, when your on a roll you are just making mistakes, because you are going to have a meltdown, the thing Bryan teaches is not to win all the time but to show yourself when you fail.
