| Greetings!
We hope you're having a great spring! The spring season of our popular Chain Reaction Transformation series is in full swing. You have one more chance to attend. Register now to attend in Chicago, May 20-22. The fall season begins in San Diego on September 16-18 followed by Philadelphia, PA on 23-25 and finishing in Chicago on October 7-9. The Chain Reaction Transformation seminar series is where you can meet and share with the masters themselves; Gary Gray, PT, Dr. David Tiberio and Doug Gray. Many of you have been involved with our newsletter and have viewed our many strategies and techniques; well there is no better place to learn from the best than at our live events. Hope to see you there!
This month our practical application section will look at Coordination and Agility. This represents the pinnacle of movement efficiency in performance. Agility and Coordination is for all levels. Whether it is in rehabilitation or in training; we must understand ones threshold within their goals, their environment and their challenges. This month we will describe a strategy of progression and show a portion of the entire process.
If you have any questions pertaining to the practical application section, please email your questions to Lenny Parracino at lparracino@gmail.com. Thank you.

| Practical Application
The enhancement of one's capacity to subconsciously respond efficiently to the unexpected translates to efficient coordination and agility. Agility transcends coordination. Agility involves the capacity to spontaneously break out of preferred coordination patterns to improvise with precision in response to internal or external challenges. Traditional training focuses on coordination associated with specific skills and movements.
Instead, we propose a logical progression from:
1) "grooving the move" to
2) "tweaking the move" to
3) "challenging the move".
"Grooving the move" establishes coordinated movement patterns. "Tweaking the move" introduces changes in pattern, speed, rhythm, direction, force, etc., and "challenging the move" introduces unpredictable tweaks.
Watch the clip for a portion of what can be accomplished by simply applying the natural laws of motion to the coordination / agility goal that is desired.

Questions and Answers
1) What is the difference between coordination and agility? Do you have simple examples of the differences?
2) Is it important to prepare before partaking in coordination / agility movements or can we use coordination / agility to prepare?
