1. Just got this email from a satisfied customer of The Truth About Unstable Surface Training:
“Just wanted to drop a quick note to say outstanding work on ‘TAUST!’  It was truly comprehensive and head and shoulders above anything else written on the topic.  The evidence was very well presented and you did a bang-up job [...]
