Putting a baseball team through a bunch of military training in an attempt to build mental toughness doesn’t make you a good leader. Rather, it actually makes you an underwhelming exercise physiologist, biomechanist, and sports psychologist.
Parents and coaches of young baseball players, especially travel players.
Listen to your athletes & evaluate their elbows.
More innings IS NOT better.
There’s a chance you are creating permanent damage here.
Limit the innings & also limit the # of pitches thrown, avoid breaking pitches before 13.

⚾️ Fascinating new study on young baseball pitchers’ elbows (10-12):
31.6% elbows demonstrated ultrasound/sonographic findings of ulnar nerve displacement, with 11.4% subluxations & 20.2% dislocations
24.6% participants experienced nerve displacement in the dominant elbow only, whereas nerve displacement in both elbows occurred in 19.3% participants.
*Nerve displacement in the nondominant elbow only was not observed
🚨 1/3 of the young baseball players evaluated had ultrasonographic findings compatible with ulnar nerve displacement at the elbow
Wow, much much earlier & more often than I would have ever imagined!
Worst & best of #concussions in the #NFL here.
DeVante Parker shows clear "no-go" signs after a head hit. Everyone (spotter, coaches, refs) pretends they didn't see it- EXCEPT teammate Nelson Agholor, who tries to stop the next play. Teammate of the Year!
