Here's what the following Major League Players who played under Coach Kemnitz had to say about his Mental Aspects of the Game CD:

•Darren Dreifort-Former Los Angeles

Dodger-"Coach Kemnitz is bar none the best pitching coach I've ever had at covering all angles of the mental aspects of pitching. This is a great device for molding minds in the game of baseball as well as the game of life. Keep listening."

•Braden Looper-Pitcher, St. Louis Cardinals -"I started attending Coach Kemnitz's pitching camps at the age of 15. I fell in love with his style of coaching and was thrilled to get the opportunity to pitch at Wichita State. After 11 years in the big leagues, I continue to implement his techniques. This CD gives an inside look to why he is considered one of the best pitching coaches in America at any level."

•Charlie O'Brien-Former MLB Catcher-"This CD is a must for anyone serious about baseball. It is simple enough to benefit a young pitcher or player and complex enough for a Big Leaguer. If you have a desire to improve your mental side of the game, this is the perfect tool for any player or coach."

•Mike Pelfrey-Pitcher, NY Mets-"This is a direct product of everything I learned from the best pitching coach in the country, Brent Kemnitz; Now I feel like I can mentally go out and beat anyone.

•Nate Robertson-Pitcher, Detroit Tigers-"When making my decision on what program I wanted to be a part of, I chose Wichita State on the basis that Brent Kemnitz was going to be my pitching coach. His knowledge of pitching and ability to communicate his message were second to none. This CD says it all."

•Eric Wedge-Manager, Cleveland Indians-"Vintage Brent Kemnitz; Great motivation, powerful, insightful, humorous. A must for anyone of all ages, not just baseball players."

•Jim Callis-Executive Editor, Baseball America-The CD is a valuable tool for pitchers and coaches alike. Kemnitz explains to pitchers how they can get the most out of their ability, and to coaches how they can get the most out of their pitchers. He exhorts all pitchers to get out of their comfort zone, to aspire to be more than they currently are, and lays out a mental blueprint to achieve that goal. The wisdom Kemnitz shares can benefit pitchers at any level. My 12-year-old son took away lessons that helped him in Pony League play."

•Lou Pavlovich-Editor, Collegiate Baseball-"Every pitching coach and pitcher across the USA should be required to listen to this CD. It is overflowing with valuable material on conquering the mental beast in baseball."
