Importance of Core Strength for Athletic Performance

A strong core is synonymous with a strong athlete. 

The core can be thought of as the link between the upper half of your body with the lower half. In order to ensure both sections operate smoothly and in-balance, a strong core is necessary to develop. The majority of movements in sports, like running, throwing a ball, pivoting for a tennis shot, or jumping for a jump-shot, all require a powerful core for success.
