Welcome to ChrisOLeary.com, where I discuss the different projects I am working on. If you are just getting to know me, you should know that my interests cover a pretty broad range.

ELEVATOR PITCH ESSENTIALS
I have long been interested in innovation and entrepreneurship and have worked for a series of software start-ups as a result.

Drawing upon these experiences, I have just completed a book called Elevator Pitch Essentials that explains how to create an effective elevator pitch. You can buy Elevator Pitch Essentials via my web site. My Elevator Pitch primer is a good place to start if you are unfamiliar with the concept of an elevator pitch.

BASEBALL
I have become something of an expert when it comes to pitching mechanics and rotational hitting. I have even gotten to the point where my work is followed by a number of major league scouts and player development folks.
     I maintain a pitching mechanics blog and a hitting mechanics blog where I teach people what I have learned. Also, my hitting clips and analyses and pitching clips and analyses are two of the most popular pages on my web site.
     I have also released a Rotational Hitting 101 DVD, which explains how I teach the major league swing to baseball and fast pitch softball players, and a Pitching Mechanics 101 DVD, which explains how I teach proper pitching mechanics to pitchers of all ages.

THE PARADOX OF PAIN
I am in the process of writing a second book entitled The Paradox Of Pain that explains the critical -- but too often overlooked -- relationship between pain, change, and innovation.
