This same athlete may find great success in soccer, which requires much less flexibility. Anyway you look at, setting and maintaining normal flexibility throughout the body is important throughout life. Static stretching has gotten a bad wrap over the last 10 years. There is a place for static stretching in sport. The following stretching program is different from the typical static stretching....

This is the way muscles are used in sport, and therefore a great way to statically stretch them. Check out this UTube video and try these 3-D stretches before your next work out and sporting event.
