🎯 Never forget that the « HOW » matters when it’s about goals achievement.

Here are some basic rules:

1️⃣ Grab the athlete's attention and keep it before giving any instructions or feedback.

2️⃣ Be clear and concise and make sure to be understood.

@DavidBennion6 ACLR is « easy » if you are able to apply a consistent, athlete-centered, and up-to-date framework. Objective data measurement and interpretation are fundamental to take meaningful and consistent actions, but that’s only one piece of the cake.

[David Meyer @David_Meyer7]

@novicephysio @DavidBennion6 As well as having a positive impact on the result, objective data can also be used to provide feedback, educate athletes and maximize engagement. Results matter, and so does the process.

@MartijnKuitert @drjamesdinic What do you use as drink ? It will have potential influence digestive issues (type of milk, water,..). Whey quality should also be checked. Keep in mind that WHEY is a derived product from lactoserum (animal milk) and some people shows intolerance to this type of dairy product.

[David Meyer @David_Meyer7]

@BartBaker @drjamesdinic Could you be more accurate please.

Does your ACLR rehab look like what’s on the left or what’s on the right? 🧠

Kids don't need to be pushed...
Kids don't need to be punished with exercise...
Kids don't need mental toughness training...
Kids don't need 40 times...

[Jeremy Frisch @JeremyFrisch]

Parents of young athletes:
You're being sold a bill of goods…

Early specialization…

It's a fear campaign…

Its a billion dollar dumpster fire saying:
To become a great athlete you must:
Specialize early…
Train year-round…
Compete often…

If you don’t your child is going to miss out and fall behind

And for the most part:
 It’s complete bullshit…
What it really is:

Early Development of sport-specific skills

Early success in sport

Little to no development of fundamental movement skills

Poor performances later in the sport

Higher chance of injury

Higher Chance of Burnout from Sport

Early start…Early finish!

It's a complete lack of understanding of how humans develop…

During the first 14 years of Life:
Be a human first: 
Do plenty of activities that involve:
Rolling
Crawling
Climbing
Reaching
Bending
Rotating
Standing (1 foot)
Changing levels:

Be an athlete second:
Sprint
Jump
Hop
Climb
Wrestle
swim/bike/ski
catch/kick/throw/trap Etc

Sprinkle in lots of activities and multiple sports! 

I can't guarantee a Div 1 scholarship but I can say that kids will be more Coordinated, stronger, more flexible, cardiovascularly fit, more resistant to fatigue and injury, and also be calmer, less stressed, leaner, and able to learn new skills. Skills like complex sports specific skills.

@DHMov @FIFAWWC @BarclaysWSL @England @WomensFootyNet @WomensFootballO @WomensHealthMag This neuromotor failure results from a lack of coordination in the motor output. The player planned a specific deceleration movement based on ball position and a contact that did not occur as she predicted.

[David Meyer @David_Meyer7]

@DHMov @FIFAWWC @BarclaysWSL @England @WomensFootyNet @WomensFootballO @WomensHealthMag I think it is also essential to consider the context in which the injury occurred.

Obviously, the player anticipates contact from behind and wishes to protect her ball during deceleration. This type of injury again represents an example of a neuromotor failure.

[Francesco Della Villa MD @FDellaVilla]

It is a combination of both neurocognition (🧠software) and biomechanics (🦵hardware), and it differs between patterns. In football:

1) Pressing ACL injury > neurocognitive perturbation

2) Tackled ACL injury > mechanical perturbation

@Pat_Vallance Nice video. I was wondering if the knee position was not actually a contributing factor. Do we get the same recruitment and activation in a backward position so the joint would be supported ?

What concrete implications for rehab would you recommend ?

[David Meyer @David_Meyer7]

@N0ldeaBro It could be hypothesize that in this context, the player ability to manage the processing of all sensorial information didn’t allow him to maintain a proper automatic control of his knee, leading to a neuromotor failure and a non-contact knee injury.

[David Meyer @David_Meyer7]

Looks like a great example of neuromotor failure in a complex and dynamic environment.

[Nick Raynor @DrNickRaynor]

Whilst football continues to woefully mismanage concussions, even on the largest stage, it might be worth noting that in 61 games of #RLWC2021, we had no concussion “controversies” due to the exceptional work of our team & team medics.
