"Gratz Industries proudly presents a new documentary video, “I Just Want To Be Great.” story by Nicole Smith, proprietor of Core LOVE Culture Pilates Studio, and directed by Rebel Monkey Productions in Philadelphia, PA.
By chronicling the journey of three football players at different career stages as they strive to achieve greatness and enhance their strength, flexibility, and control by practicing the Pilates method, we are shown the depth of a method that nurtures and protects the athleticism in everybody and all bodies.
2021 NFL All-Pro Defensive End Brandon Graham of the Philadelphia Eagles found that Pilates training has brought a newfound body awareness, increased strength, and flexibility. Malik Cooper, sophomore Running Back of the Temple University Owls, has seen a great enhancement in his stretch, control, and strength. While Kobe Goode, a pre-teen aspiring quarterback, has gained confidence and strength through his training. All three have formed a unique bond with Nicole as this work has encouraged them to experience and explore their strengths and weaknesses.
When asked what he hopes to achieve from his Pilates training and in his career, Malik Cooper simply said, “I Just Want Be Great,” inspiring the documentary's title. His response summed up what each of these athletes strives for with their perseverance and positivity in their careers and their Pilates practice.
The Pilates method is a “non-traditional’ health and wellness practice that provides an individual with optimal health benefits."
