Excerpt from March 1997 issue of Outside Magazine:

In 1993, after six years as an elite volleyball player, Troy Tanner was ready to hang up his kneepads. He'd competed as a member of the gold-medal U.S. squad in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, but after two knee operations he could no longer count on finishing a tournament."I was going to quit," says Tanner, 33. Then fellow beach pro Karch Kiraly introduced him to, of all things, a flexibility coach. Tanner began a regular stretching program with San Clemente, California-based Adrian Crook and in 1994 competed in his first injury-free season in seven years. Today, ranked ranked 13th on the Association of Volleyball Professionals tour, he admits, "I never thought I'd still be competing at this level."

Excerpt from October 1995 issue of Men's Fitness Magazine:  

He (Adrian Crook) practices a series of odd stretching and movement exercises he learned as a teenager from a mystical Chinese healer and kung fu master. The regimen gives him physical powers so far beyond those of most men, he is eagerly sought out by nationally ranked athletes looking for a magic elixir to help them perfect their performance and avoid injury. Fantasy? No, it's Adrian Crook's life. His unusual exercise routine lures big-name athletes such as volleyball pro and two-time Olympic gold medalist Karch Kiraly and 1994 leading NFL scorer John Carney. They come to Crook's Southern California home to be trained in exercises that Crook really learned from a Chinese master. This routine has helped people add inches to their vertical leap, given them remarkable flexibility and enabled them to command the sort of balance normally achieved only by ballet dancers.

Excerpt from Fall 1996 issue of The Professional Skier Magazine (first of a three-part series):

It is important for ski instructors to recognize that flexibility is the key element of movement and in developing sound mechanics. Whether you are trying to improve your own skiing, or offering suggestions to clients who may be trying to overcome roadblocks in their performance, these exercises can be very helpful. In fact, the exercises presented here are especially good for students who may be unable to keep their hips facing down the fall line.

Excerpt from Fall 1996 issue of Ms. Fitness Magazine:

Then we met a man who can do what very few men are capable of - the splits. Adrian Crook is his name and a proven, innovative method of stretching is his specialty. This man introduced a revolutionary style of stretching that produces fabulous results in the Olympic athletes, pro volleyball players (like Karch Kiraly) and other world-class performers he works with on a regular basis. His technique is different, but believe me, it works. It involves kinetic awareness with the body's muscles. It's really amazing what the body can do when challenged.

Excerpt from May 1996 issue of Competitor Magazine:  

"As a flexibility and movement consultant, I work with an array of world-class athletes, including volleyball great Karch Kiraly, PGA golfer Bill Glasson, world champion trials mountain biker Hans Rey, NFL leading scorer John Carney and King of the Beach Adam Johnson. All these athletes are driven to find a competitive edge and maximize their performance. As their trainer, their success is very important to me. But my primary goal is to teach them things necessary to achieve longevity in their sport, and ultimately, a long, active, healthy life."

Excerpt from Winter 1996 issue of Prime Health and Fitness Magazine:

Thousands of years ago in northern China, the ruling class used a series of flexibility movements to maintain their strength and suppleness as they got older. Fortunately for us, Adrian Crook divined their secret through an elderly Chinese master he met in the early ' 70s. After spending spending nearly 20 years honing his flexibility routine-and after training several elite athletes, including John Carney, San Diego Charger kicker and 1994 leading NFL scorer, and Karch Kiraly, beach volleyball king and Olympic gold medalist-his compelling routine "INFLEX" system is ready for public consumption.
