Have you graduated from high school, have two years of college eligibility left and will train with maximal intellectual and physical intensity daily for forty weeks? Then, after a four week trial, Dr. Marshall wants to be your pitching coach.

Dr. Marshall teaches pitchers how to never have pain, how to throw every day, how to master both sides of home plate with fastballs, sinkers, screwballs, sliders and curves and to achieve their maximum release velocities.

Sessions begin in January, June and August. January pitchers start the lst Sunday in January, train until the 3^rd Saturday in August and rejoin their college teams. They return the 2^nd Sunday next June for seven weeks. June pitchers start the 2^nd Sunday in June, train until the 3^rd Saturday in March and tryout for college scholarships. August pitchers start the 3^rd Sunday in August, train until the 4^th Saturday in May and tryout for college scholarships.

Clients live at Dr. Marshall’s Pitcher Training Center in Zephyrhills, 25 miles northeast of Tampa, FL. Dr. Marshall takes clients on a first deposit, first accept basis. Clients pay $600 for the four week trial. Thereafter, per day, clients pay $10 for coaching, $5 for housing and $2 for electricity, cable TV, telephone, water trash removal, laundry facilities, TV, furniture, bedding, dishes and so on.

Forty weeks of intense, carefully-planned training cuts years off your learning curve. Do not waste eligibility. Get major league strength. Have pitches ready before enrolling in college. Earn college scholarships. Use college to fine tune your game. Show scouts a polished pitcher. Find out whether you have professional potential. Be like Dr. Mike Marshall, be more than you thought you could be.
