I am forever grateful. Thank you, Tim Adams, for always being a great friend and mentor in this field we love. Last, and definitely not least, thank you, Mom and Dad.

Amy Id like to thank my family and friends for always encouraging me to do and be more. Thank you, Carmen Marshal , for reminding me anything and everything is possible. To all of our clients throughout the years, its because of you that we strive to be the very best at what we do. And to Rick, you are always my inspiration.

You have changed the lives of thousands of people and have inspired another generation of strength coaches. I love you! Thank you to our Beyond Motion family for helping us with this project and constantly encouraging us when we were too tired to write another sentence. And to Heather for always checking in to make sure we had time to write. Wibs, Jamie, Kel y, Dom, and Carl, thank you for being such great models, you made it all so easy. viINTRODUCTIONP ilates and Conditioning for Athletes was written for you, the serious or elite athlete, or a coach working with high-level athletes.

You will gain valuable insights and tips for training and recovery that will improve your level of play. We will provide you with pregame and postgame exercises to help you create a more functional system so that you will be able to better adapt to the demands placed on your body and perform at a higher level. As you read and use the assessment tests and training programs, you will fol ow programs similar to those that we use with the elite and professional athletes that train at our facility. Regardless of whether you are a 50-year-old triathlete, col ege athlete, professional athlete, or even a weekend warrior, this book has something for everyone. We encourage you to fol ow the program completely, starting with your personal assessment tests. Once you have gone through each chapter, you will be able to select the individual workout at the end of the book based on your assessment, current needs, and goals.

This is more than a book that you will read once and put on a shelf; Pilates and Conditioning for Athletes should be used as your training partner and coach. You will use this book whether youre working out at home, the gym, or on the road. As your results improve, refer back to the programs for inspiration and new workouts. You will be able to chal enge yourself with a new workout every few months based on your performance level and needs at that time. Remember to log your progress and set your goals. Successful athletes never leave training to chance.

They dont wander through their workout wondering, What should I do next? Every workout is planned. Every exercise is done for a specific reason, and each movement and program builds on the next. This book is a culmination of more than two decades of inspiring work, research, and studying the training of professional and high-level athletes. Throughout the process we have learned that although each body is unique, every athlete requires the same fundamental strengths to perform at their highest level. The best athletes are strong, fast, reactive, and cognitively aware. To prepare you for competition, we have designed complete and balanced programs that tap into each of the key factors you need for success.
