The Next Level: 2005

Stephen M. Apatow: Director of Research and Development, Sports Medicine & Science Institute. His personal training background, that spans more than 20 years, includes ultra distance running, ultra-distance cycling and martial arts to national & international level competition in cross country skiing and rowing.
.

In an effort to improve sport specific proficiency, joint strength and speed, he began dance training (in his early 20's). In 1985, he began a 3 year intensive scholarship to study of modern, jazz and ballet training under the direction of Lee Lund (Video Choreographer-Lisa Lisa Cult Jam, Brenda Star, Jaime Rogers, choreographer for movies Fame and Breakin). Following this training period, Apatow focused on another 3 year scholarship to study the Soviet system of ballet training with the Nutmeg Conservatory for the Arts in Torrington, Connecticut.

Today, the training progression continues at a level higher then achieved in the late 80's.

Equestrian: The developmental objective is the integration of classical ballet mechanics in all levels of the rider development program to optimize precision control of the human frame in riding specific technical movement on horse. Currently (when ever I have access to FEI level horses) working on breaking down the sequence and coordination of aids for technical movements from beginner through grand prix levels in dressage.

Aspirations to achieve top level performance in any sport requires detailed attention given to each aspect of the training program. Every day, our diet, strength, speed, flexibility, postural alignment, mental preparation and sports specific training all relate to the factors upon which our bodies will adapt, to yield our potential performance in competitive event which can be decided by a 1/100 of a second. -- Stephen M.
