Book Reviews of Stretch to Win
Book Review: Not as good as it could be
Summary: 2 Stars
This book basically just introduces a different way of doing the stretching movement and coordinating it with your breathing. It's not a radically different approach. Certainly not as different as doing isometric stretches or PNF stretches for those who have only done static stretching in the past. The book's biggest failure would be its lack of information on developing your own sport specific program. From reading the book's description of itself, one gets the impression that you could develop a program that would be best suited to your favorite sport. There is a section in the book that lists many sports/activities and what sorts of movement patterns need addressed by stretches. There is another section that lists out all the various stretches, but there isn't a section that correlates the two. It's up to you to figure that out. There are some "sample routines, but these are generic and not sport specific. There is a video, Flexibility For Sports Performance (Sports Conditioning) that goes along with the book. While the book is ok overall, I highly discourage anyone from getting the video.
