I just got an email about our friend Bill Hillhouse who has some unfortunate news about his health which we all know hasn't been great. He put up a separate go fund me since his insurance is not covering the treatments. I am going to donate what i can, I hope those on here will do what they...
According to Facebook, June 22 is Hillhouse's birthday. Hopefully those that have not already sent to his Go Fund Me will do so with the birthday spirit. I see it's not looking good for his goal. I've donated a few times (anonymously) I hope others will be kind and giving. I've not...

Mike White's post game thoughts. Can't say I argue the umpires have been horrible.
Hey all,
I got an email yesterday from Bill's wife saying he has been hospitalized again. Thankfully he was released after 24 hour observation but apparently his EKG showed some abnormalities that worried the doctors. I'm sure prayers would be appreciated. And another hospital stay...
As a pretty regular student of Bill's my DD has gone more than 6 months without a lesson. All my emails asking about lessons have been met with replies about not being too well (never going into specifics). Today I got a mass email from someone, whom I believe is his wife, with a Go Fund me...
I know Boardmember likes to think that anyone who says complimentary things about Bill is "on his payroll" but, in spite of that, I thought it was pretty cool on ESPN today that Amanda Scarboro mentioned Bill on the broadcast. A pitcher entered the game in relief where Amanda mentioned that...
DD had her first lesson with Hillhouse in quite a while. Those that know him know BH is absolutely hilarious with the girls, makes them have fun, and does teaching in a way the girls learn while having a great time doing it. Over the years, I've seen his lessons with 10-20 girls who have...
Thought some may enjoy this, you may have to copy/paste link. If I'm reading this right, it's not even his local newspaper article. It's somewhere in NY state.

Interesting timing that this clip came out on the FP chat show while there is that other riseball thread going on. Thank you to FP Chat and Gary Leland for making this video. Funny how this clip debunks a lot of what my oldest daughter was initially taught about the rise. "Turn the...
Softball Coaching - Youth Softball Pitching Secrets
100% money back guarantee!!!!!!! I hope they don't spend the money that people send them, if anyone has a clue they'll ask for a refund. I particularly liked the "Screwing fastball" in the Youth pitches. Oh dear lord.

The men's world championship is being played right now in Ontario. If you go the link I'm attaching you will be able to watch the games for free. Obviously you cannot see how fast these guys actually throw based off the computer screen but it's pretty cool to watch with announcers.
By...
From having seen him live, I can tell you this doesn't even give it the slightest justice to how fast this actually is. I thought you guys might find this cool to see. I once asked Bill H. if Folkard uses "HE" and he said he sorta does but not the way it's traditionally taught; followed...
Coach Hillhouse sent an email out to about 20 parents of some of the older kids he coaches yesterday asking for input. So, I thought it'd be fun to do it on here too. Basically, he is filming a new DVD (possibly 2) on Monday and one of them will be about Pitching Strategy. For those who...
Saw on Facebook this morning that Bill and his longtime girlfriend eloped over the weekend in Montana. He didn't say a word about it at lessons!! Congrats Bill!!!
