Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry rose from the ashes of busted ankles to become an NBA star. How? By committing himself to core and balance training after surgery, according to ESPN The Magazine’s February issue.
Despite increasing evidence that balance and mobility training is a literal game-changer, it often takes a serious injury to get anyone—especially a fast-paced basketball player—to slow down.
After surgery to reconstruct ankle tendons and flush out scar tissue in 2012, Curry had to go back to the basics. His athletic talent, however, allowed him to progress swiftly. In BaziFIT parlance, Curry quickly increased his joint stability score making his core strength, speed and agility second to none.
His consistency, however, helped him continue to gain an advantage, which he exploits today playing ball.
The consensus from everyone involved in Curry’s rehabilitation is that a “Steph Curry who has never injured his ankles would be less preferable than the Steph Curry we actually have today.”
What began as a journey to recovery, changed Curry’s approach to training and therefore, his game.
