Each player faces multiple tackles per game. Each one can spell injuries. Strong and flexible core helps to absorb and often avoid being taken down. Unfortunately very few players work on core flexibility and core strength in various ranges. Some players take yoga to meet their flexibility needs on the field. While relaxed stretches do work eventually, they work very slow and do not transfer well into the dynamic flexibility needs of a football player.
