First couple of weekends of football. I'm not talking about any particular case, you can do everything well and still have an injury. But we have to train them to be hard rubber, not glass, to survive contact. When you value strength over mobility bad stuff happens.
Heads up .... next summer, my "walkoff webinar". Planning to do one last big webinar, 8-10 hours encompassing a lot of training and rehab topics, including some I never get to speak about. Planning to make recordings available too. Please plan to come.
The longer I coach, the more I realize that the secret to being a great coach isn't designing cutting edge training, it's the ability to repeatedly and consistently avoid doing dumb stuff.
Honored and appreciative upon entering the USTFCCCA Coaches Hall of Fame. Friends and colleagues, please take a couple of minutes to read. Thanks.

There are a couple of spots left in the Interactive Performance and Rehab course I'll be teaching in San Diego at Kinetic Impact August 1-2. The course will be built to feature interesting, difficult rehab case studies.

You can train in a sports specific manner while doing things that don't look like the sport - if impact levels, velocities, power outputs, tissue loads, are competition-like, it's sports specific. If sportlike training movements don't achieve this, you're not prepared.
I'll be teaching a course in performance and return to play training in San Diego at Kinetic Impact August 2-3. A great opportunity to dive deep into RTP exercise prescription and case studies. There are a few spots left, hope to see you there.

If I hit game-like levels of intensity and tissue load in preparation for a season, I'll likely be ready even if the volumes are below game levels. If I achieve the volumes without hitting the intensity and tissue load, nothing good happens.
Coaching culture shift - team sport volumes are so easy to measure now, we now tend to look at game volumes as the key marker to hit in preparation. As a result, athletes are entering seasons without exposure to sufficient levels of intensity and tissue loads. Injuries result.
Excited to be doing an S&C clinic at High Desert Weightlifting in ABQ March 21 (the day before the New Mexico NSCA Regional Clinic) ... come see me twice please!!!
I keep getting the question.. what is your favorite hamstring injury prevention exercise? ... Sprint Often !!!
The only thing that loads it like sprinting is sprinting. Don't preach specificity ... practice it.
I'm doing a high level Training and Rehabilitation clinic March 8-9 for coaches and therapists... good info and numerous case studies. It's in New York (Manhattan) at Reload Physical Therapy. More information and signups are here:
