Walk Like a Bear, Stand Like a Tree, Run Like the Wind by Carol Bassett

Proper stretching, breathing, and warming up can make the difference between young athletes performing at their best, or risking injury on the practice field or in competition. "Walk Like a Bear" provides kid-friendly instruction and lots of great stretches so athletes can focus on building skills, improving their technique and enjoying their athletic pursuits. There are also great yoga poses that promote flexibility and foster relaxation for your athletes, including the popular Sun Salutation.

"Stretching has always been an important part of my training regimen. Improving my flexibility has helped me train harder, stay injury-free, win races and set records! So whether your goal is to run faster, jump higher or throw farther, stretching will help you reach your dreams."

~ Regina Jacobs
World Outdoor Silver Medalist (1997 & 1999) and World Indoor Champion (1995 & 2003)
