As a high school and travel team coach I am always looking for ways to improve our players in a safe, productive manner. The Sheehan Pitching Academy is by far the best pitching instruction I have come across. Mark Sheehan loves to teach and it shows in every student that goes through his academy. The National Pitching Association, which is the foundation of the Sheehan Pitching Academy is the most scientific and researched pitching formula available in baseball. The focus is on efficient mechanics and taking care of your arm first and that will pay huge dividends in the future for any pitcher. His functional fitness training program is in my opinion a truly essential component to any athletes training routine. My son and daughter have been using the academy for the last year and their arms have never been healthier or stronger. This program is not just for pitchers, but for any athlete who throws a ball for fun or competition.

As a little league coach, the results and confidence of the player’s who have utilized Sheehan Pitching Academy have been outstanding. The drills learned have not only helped these kids in pitching, but have also increased their overall arm strength, which is essential in all defensive positions. Mark Sheehan’s love of the game has made him an essential mentor for young players in our area. The kids enjoy the lessons as much as they like playing in games. I highly recommend other coaches and parents to seriously consider Sheehan Pitching Academy for anybody interested in improving their performance on the field.

The instruction and knowledge my son, Michael, has gained from Mark Sheehan has been invaluable as he grows in his pitching prowess. Thanks to Mark and the concepts he espouses from the National Pitching Association, my ten-year-old has become one of the best pitchers on his team, learning to throw strikes at a rate that to me has become surprising in its efficiency. Anyone who is interested in developing strong pitchers without putting unnecessary stress on a young athlete's arm would be remiss if they let an opportunity to utilize Sheehan Pitching Academy go by. Mark's superior instruction has resulted in very impressive statistics compiled by the three pitchers on my son's team who are lucky enough to have Mr. Sheehan's tutelage.

The NPA sold me because it was derived from the goal of avoiding serious injury to young pitchers. The focus is on mechanics, yet it does not clone a player or try to change one's natural talent. The program generally works with a player's natural release point and incorporates science into the motion to ensure minimum stress on the arm. Mark Sheehan is a very dedicated and credible disciple of the NPA with a great passion for the game and player safety. Having played baseball through college and coaching with Mark, I understand the depth of his pitching knowledge and did not hesitate in letting him work with my son.
