- Avoid reoccurrence
- Improve stability
- Increase overall performance

Breathwork: Your diaphragm forms the roof of your “core’. Neglect training your diaphragm and your house can collapse.
Control: Movement without control is asking for trouble. If you cannot maintain your alignment or breathwork during an activity, you are out of control!
