After a series of injuries he came to realize something had to change. This lead him to hire a new trainer who taught him bjj and how to think in terms of joint movement.
Triblive.com reports:
“This guy is amazing, very positive,” Cervelli said. “He made me believe there are other ways to make my body feel good.
“It was weird, all the movement. I couldn’t move. Little by little, I started picking it up, and it started making sense.”

The results are leading Cervelli to believe he can stay healthy this season.
“I feel like a little kid. It’s amazing. I’m flexible again,” he said.
“I’ve always been flexible, but the last couple years because of injuries I had a lot of bad habits. Now, I put in quality work and I feel great.”
Of course with the new training came a serious regimen change:
“No gluten, no dairy, no fried food,” he said of his new diet. “I try to put the right gas in my car. I’m a Ferrari. I want to treat my car the right way.
“I want to play for a long time.”
