Shy initially came to TB12 almost two years ago at the recommendation of his AAU basketball coach, who told Shy and his family that TB12 offered a more holistic approach to training and recovery that would help elevate his game. He started working with Body Coach Brendan Curtin during his first session, and the two quickly formed a bond that has helped them continue to push each other hard in the time since. 
“I’m really comfortable working with Brendan, and I know I can always talk to him about anything – how the season is going, any pain I’m feeling, or any problems I’m having,” says Shy. “For me, it’s good because I can always stay connected and get his help when I’m not in Boston.”
Shy grew up in the Boston area, but he now attends high school 2,500 miles away in Los Angeles California. That extended time away would ordinarily make it difficult for someone to stay pliable and keep up with the TB12 lifestyle, but Shy easily manages it thanks to his close relationship with Brendan and the help of the TB12 Foundation. 
As a client in our TB12 Foundation, Shy has received a collection of functional TB12 products – bands, electrolytes, and pliability devices – which he uses daily during his school year at Sierra Canyon to keep himself pain-free. When he’s home in Boston, the TB12 Foundation provides Shy with access to treatment and resources he otherwise wouldn’t be able to access, and that has been transformative for his health and performance.
“The TB12 Foundation gives me the opportunity to come in to TB12 more consistently, which is super beneficial because minor injuries can come up at any time. When I’m dealing with aches and pains,  I come in here and my Body Coach gets me feeling better in one session – that makes all the difference.”

Shy has a unique combination of lofty goals and the talent and determination to achieve them. As a rising junior starring on perhaps the best high school basketball team in the nation, it’s crucial for someone in Shy’s position to look towards the future and prepare mentally and physically for the next level. By committing to the TB12 lifestyle, Shy is doing exactly that.
“TB12 has given me all the resources I need to play better, play longer, and keep everything healthy so I can stay on the court,” says Shy. “I’m thankful for the whole TB12 staff and community and the relationships I’ve built here.”
