It’s even harder to write about movement in a way that makes someone who is comfortably sitting—say, while reading an engrossing book—want to get up and move. But Henry Abbott has done it brilliantly. BALLISTIC has changed the way I think about sports, bodies, and movement—which is to say, it’s changed my life."
- Louisa Thomas - The New Yorker,
"<em>Ballistic</em> is a fascinating, narrative tour of a new science of human movement that has the capacity to predict—and prevent—injuries before they happen. You will never think about your hips the same way again."
- David Epstein, bestselling author of The Sports Gene and Range,
"What if we could unlock peak performance without sacrificing our long-term health and well-being? In <em>Ballistic</em>, Henry Abbott takes us on a journey to explore how to do just that. Abbott shows us that our bodies are not machines to be pushed, but intelligent systems designed for joyful, powerful movement. A must-read for anyone interested in sport or exercise. <em>Ballistic</em> rewrites the rules of athleticism, showing a path towards moving, feeling, and living better."
- Steve Magness, author of Do Hard Things and Win the Inside Game,
"Henry Abbott’s deep dive into the murky science of sports injuries features great storytelling, clear explanations, and a welcome embrace of complexity over quick fixes. Best of all, you’ll come away believing that injuries aren’t inevitable after all."
- Alex Hutchinson, author of Endure and The Explorer’s Gene,
"Henry Abbott tells Dr. Elliott’s captivating story in ‘Ballistic’ . . . He’s a skilled storyteller and a graceful stylist."
- The Wall Street Journal,
"There's a fantastic book coming out soon from former ESPN editor Henry Abbott, ‘<em>Ballistic</em>,’ about the new science of injury prevention. If anyone from Reyna's team is reading this, I would highly recommend reading that book, too."
