It’s a book that validates the potential in all of us to shift our structure into a newfound sense of center.”

The soundness of the principles Rocky writes about in this book, and his skill and expertise in applying them, has made it possible for me to achieve every one of my goals as an older athlete in water polo, without injury; including two world championships and multiple national championships.”

Rocky Snyder’s always fresh, cutting-edge approach to moving intelligently jumped off the pages and into my life and practice in this important book. This is a must-read for clinicians, coaches, elite athletes, or weekend warriors–anyone who is interested in informed, thoughtful, and actionable information about applied biomechanics for your sport or lifestyle practice of choice.
