“I work with an Italian pro basketball team, Pallacanestro Cantu’ Basketball Bennet. Last season we reached the finals of the Italian Pro League and we are now competing in the Top 16 of Euroleague. We build the workouts for our players with the help of
FMS. Priorities are clearly outlined with the screen and the exercises follow progressions that decrease asymmetries and weaknesses. The final result is an improvement in the quality of movement and the reduction of problems, especially the overuse problems.
We include FMS in our assessment and we use RNT principles in our workouts. Our athletes like this technique. Great motivation in the training helps us a lot!”Roberto Bianchi - Professional Strength and Conditioning Coach
