We dont work enough on flexibility with our athletes. Their agility and helps to prevent injuries and help to build speed and strength. For players the stretching and balancing poses are so conventional they didnt see at first how it can help. But those with injuries came around.

Its nothing but positive. Once the season starts they will feel different.
