"This book introduces new methods of training that can benefit anybody who is committed, open-minded, and disciplined. To perform well over many years of sports competition and, equally important, to live a vital, active, and energetic life off the field as well. I'm sharing these commonsense principles in order to rethink how we exercise, train, and live to our fullest potential." - Tom Brady from the rear jacket cover "Since I was a young athlete growing up in San Mateo, California, playing sports has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life. But over the years, I've also seen how the practice of intense training and the wear and tear that sports inflicts on the body takes away that joy for too many athletes. About twelve years ago, though, my belief that pain and athletics were synonymous began to change when I started working with my friend and body coach, Alex Guerrero, to develop what we now call the TB 12 Method. The TB12 Method is a holistic regimen that focuses on developing and maintaining something that many people have probably never heard of - muscle pliability - along with other elements that enhance pliability. I believe that muscle pliability is the missing leg of the traditional strength and training model of aerobic activity and weight lifting, bringing balance to a system that has been imbalanced for decades. Pliability, and the TB12 Method, can help reduce the risk of injury and give anyone the tools they need to achieve their longterm potential. Based on my experience, and that of the thousands of clients who've visited the TB12 Sports Therapy Center in Foxborough, Massachusetts - weekend warriors, high school athletes, and men and women of all ages who want to keep fit, as well as some of the world's most elite performers - pliability can help anyone who's interested in elevating their performance and living an energetic life on and off the field. To my mind, ability allows athletes to achieve. Durability allows them to continue achieving. And Pliability makes both possible. In this book, I'll walk you through the twelve principles of the TB12 Method. Along with pliability, you'll also read about exercises you can do to reduce the chance of injury, the best ways to work out, what proper hydration means, what foods and supplements can improve your performance, how to recover and rest, and what kinds of brain exercises can ramp up your performance. As a pro football player, I define sustained peak performance in ways that are unique to what I do in my job and in the way I want to live my life off the field. You don'[t need to be an elite athlete (or, for that matter, an athlete at all) to apply these methods to your life. The most important thing is to try one principle at a time. Hold yourself to your own standards for what you want to achieve, and remember that the TB12 Method is built less on perfection than it is on progress and forming positive daily habits. In that way, this regimen will start to stick and make a big difference in your health, well-being, energy, vitality - and your own peak performance. What I've written in these pages are my beliefs and my beliefs in the TB12 Method, which, taken together, have allowed me to achieve so many of my dreams. I hope you'll find value in them - and that they will improve your own life as well." - Tom Brady, from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Seller Inventory # 002095
