Mobility & Stability

We now use this program with every player as a pretest and evaluation tool before we even begin to train them. This individualizes our training as we can now focus more on improving weaknesses, imbalances and asymmetries in an effort to improve functional movement patterns. Not only that, its an integral part of our program rehabilitating injuries, decisions on return to play, and its a test before training camp that tells us one of the player has improved, and two, if we feel good about putting him on the field. It’s the foundation of our program. Everything we do builds off of it. We wouldn’t think of not using this program.
