Be A Better Athelete in 30 Days With HalfHour Power

What makes a champion? Awesome speed? Great power? Incredible strength?

All of these attributes are important, but none is the key to world championship play. Roger Federer, Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, Tom Brady: these greats aren’t the fastest, fittest, or strongest, yet they dominate. Why? It all comes down to being a better athlete.

How big you are, how far you throw a ball, and how fast you are can help make you a fine player, but to be a champion you must master five principles of athleticism:

Flexibility
Core strength
Movement
Rotation
Momentum

HalfHourPower Course Outline

A HalfHourPower training seminar includes six sessions, covering the five principles of athleticism and a bonus session featuring some of my favorite training routines.

Each of the sessions includes discussion of game fitness principles as well as many sample exercises and routines. Participants will learn my techniques and will receive a vigorous workout as well.

Why crunches are killing your back.
The real role of the abs in game fitness.
