ABOUT GRAIL SPORTS: Grail Sports, Inc. Specialists in movement... and performance... optimization

Grail Sports represents the quest to understand the mysteries that make certain athletes seem to perform so effortlessly.

Perhaps it was destiny, perhaps it was luck... whatever the case, the sports world has changed forever since pro tennis coaches Jack Broudy and Paul Mayberry set out on a quest to explain the prevailing mystery in sports: “the natural athlete.”

Along the way, applying the concepts of projective geometry and spatial dynamics, they pioneered a nonlinear teaching method, Play the 8 Way™, which uses ambidexterity to help harness the strength of both sides of the body as well as the left and right sides of the brain. Subsequently, Broudy and Mayberry designed the original 8board® training device to facilitate their Play the 8 Way™ body motion coordinating system. This remarkable system allows children and adults to become more coordinated and mentally empowered to excel in sports and physical activity in general.

Broudy and Mayberry founded Grail Sports™, Inc. in 2000 to bring their astonishingly effective teaching method and training device to the sports world and the general public.

Why “Grail” Sports?
The grail symbolizes the individual's quest to attain his or her highest potential. In this light, we have developed a patented movement system based on 20th Century research blended with the age-old ideas of “projective geometry” and “spatial dynamics.” Our program can help engender an understanding of the geometry that is all around us. When you master the figure-8 motion on the 8board, you gain a deeper understanding of your body's capabilities, especially in regard to polarity, the relationship between space and counter-space, gravity and levity, the human body's natural symmetry, its ability to create synergy, and finally, the notions of center-to-periphery and how they can affect athletic performance.

The Grail Sports program will better your understanding of the elements that make the great players great. This prepares the player to be drawn up into a higher realm of functioning, thus freeing him or her from their own personal limitations.
