The importance of flexibility to your athletic performance cannot be overstated.
Todd Durkin, the owner of Fitness Quest 10, has worked with numerous NFL players in his career as a strength, speed and conditioning coach. His list of clients includes quarterbacks Drew Brees, Carson Palmer and Aaron Rodgers, as well as running back LaDainian Tomlinson, tight end Kellen Winslow and others. To each of them--and the rest of his clients--Durkin stresses the importance of stretching to maximizing athletic potential.
