Rhythmic Nature fitness trainer, Frank Fletcher, was recently asked to participate on a panel of experts, consulting with author, Marc Peruzzi and Outside Magazine on the topic of Agility Training.

Frank joins an all-star panel with Per Lundstam (US Ski Team, Strength and Conditioning Coach), Pete Vordenberg (US Ski Team Head Coach - Cross Country), and Daron Rahlves (3 time Olympian, 2001 World Champion in Super-G, with 12 World Cup victories).

Given the names on the panel, you'd surmise that the article focuses primarily on pre-season Ski training.  The exercises, however, are deliberately designed to be applicable to many other sports as well.

The article has been published in the November, 2009 issue of Outside Magazine.  It includes nine or ten of Frank's favorite beginning to intermediate exercises that focus on the topic of Agility as well as Injury Prevention.

Update

November 5th, 2009:  Outside Magazine made the article available on the web at  http://outsideonline.com/outside/bodywork/200911/agility-training-1.html

Franks sections are "Protect your Knees" and "Thrills, Not Drills"
