“Balancing on an unstable surface, I'm forced to use every muscle in my leg and all the muscles in my foot. It also strengthens my ankles, which is important considering the number of ankle sprains in soccer. You don't need to add the kick. At home I'll just balance on the disk for a minute. If my husband or son [Cameron, 16] is around, sometimes they'll toss the ball, and I'll catch it instead of kick it.”
Brandi Chastain
“The assumption is that the brain and residual [arm] muscles are intact. There are certain patterns that we associate with different grasps.”
William Craelius

Leonardo da Vinci
