Kerri Walsh's Secret Edge
Karry Walsh is profiled in the recent issue of "GAIAM: lifestyle media." She attributes much of her success to a program called "Budokon", which translates into "Warrior. Way. Spirit." Which I have felt is also a translation of how Kerri plays.
Budokon was developed in 1999 by Cameron Shayne and is a combination of Yoga, Martial Arts,meditation and holistic nutrition.
Now, when my arm is not in a sling, I have taken yoga and usually enjoy it. It's great for an evening work out, for those of us in the 9 to 6 world who can't seem to get their butts out of bed or have a long commute. On the weekends I find yoga a bit too passive. But combined with Martial Arts, that's kick ass.
Kerri say her results have inculded a higher center of gravity and much quicker reflexes. As most know a whole lot of power isn't worth a damn if you can't hit the details. The details are what give you the edge.
The most surprising bit I read is that when Kerri is on the road or Cameron isn't available, she can easily complete the workouts on DVD. This is huge bonus for those of us who aren't making the big endorsement dollars (regardless that I hang a Gatorade banner over my cubicle).
Once I am in tip top again, I think I am gonna check this out.
