Sports tend to attract hard working, dedicated people who are not afraid of a little pain suffered in order to achieve their goals. Athletes of all levels are looking to maximize their performance - many love the struggle required to overcome personal obstacles. They push themselves mercilessly against their perceived limits often ignoring injuries. Many continue aggressive training despite long term injuries.

In the past few years, the elite sports world has been trying to change that mentality among Olympic level athletes. Coaches as well as highly skilled athletes have discovered the need to incorporate a deep stretch program but until they discovered Classical Stretch, were at a loss in finding a suitable workout. Due to the efficiency of the Classical Stretch program, Canadian Olympic coaches have included this workout in their top-level athletes' schedules. They have seen significant results in both performance enhancement and injuries reduction.

In order to achieve maximum results many athletes are now regularly following Classical Stretch. It has been proven that 1-hour Classical Stretch classes performed twice weekly, raises an athlete's performance level and considerably reduces sports related repetitive training injuries.

Esmonde-White is the full time flexibility trainer to some of Canada's top sports stars: Alexandre Despatie, Emilie Heymens, Jonathon Power, Annie Bellemare, Marianne Limpert, Jennifer Carroll, Nadine Rolland all see Esmonde-White 2-3 times per week. Esmonde-White also works full and part time with many sports clubs including Camo diving, MAA Squash team, Montreal Syncro, Camo Swimming, Centre Elite Patinage Artistique Boucherville and more. She remains a regular workshop presenter for the CNMN at level 4 training seminars.

After winning the gold medal at the Commonwealth Games Jonathon Power referred to Esmonde-White as his "secret coach worth a million dollars."
