Gray Cook – Athletic Body in Balance

With a mix of technique, strength, and balance, great athletes make difficult maneuvers appear simple. Traditional conditioning creates a fitness foundation, while current sports training incorporates athletic movement patterns. The first book of its type, Athletic Body in Balance, teaches you how to exercise for smooth, fluid movement while avoiding muscular imbalances, mobility constraints, stability issues, and injuries.

Gray Cook, a physical therapist and sports conditioning expert, has demonstrated the success of his technique by observing athletes in the NFL, NBA, NHL, WNBA, and Reebok University’s sports training system. Cook’s approaches will assist you in identifying functional deficits, correcting imbalances, exploring your potential, and refining sport-specific movement abilities like leaping, kicking, cutting, and turning. You’ll learn where your conditioning is failing and how to get your body back on track.
