Alexander Technique and Sports, Take Your Performance To A New Level
The way of the champion.
As an athlete you have a good idea of your body's true potential. What if your body had potential and abilities beyond your imagination? For generations the Alexander Technique has helped athletes achieve that potential and perform at a championship level. When your body mechanics and movements are working at maximum capacity, you have more ease, elegance and are far less prone to injuries. Subtle refinements occur in your form that can take you to your highest level of achievement. You can enter your peak zone at will.
How the Alexander Technique Helps Athletes
Over time we create habits and patterns that we unconsciously carry into our exercise. Most of us are not aware of how much excess tension we put into everything we do, especially under the challenges of competition. By bringing conscious awareness to the excess tension and misdirected energy, the Alexander Technique teaches you to correctly direct your energy so that you move with a naturally flowing ease.
Athletes, especially endurance athletes, say that utilizing the Alexander technique during competition saves them precious energy. Athletes keep injuries at bay as they learn the skills of refined proprioception, economy of effort and a greater control of the mechanisms of balance and coordination.
