UP CLOSE

Hello and welcome everyone...there is a solution for sports non contact injuries and stress fractures. As a personal/athletic trainer and participate in several sports, the question is... why so many.
Yes, athletes are faster and stronger than ever before...or so I've
heard. From my close up look, this is what I see. Athletes from all
the sports are doing the same warm up drills. Today there are subtle
changes for introducing "sport specific" drills. Not enough! Drills
in the off season and pre game warm ups. This holds true for anyone (non pro) who is training/exercising. So, more emphasis needs to be placed on drills that mirror "game movement" for the position one plays. Take football...why would a QB, RB, WO or DB perform the same drills as a lineman. Why would sprinters do
the same warm ups as long distance runners? This conditioning
applies to "fire up" the brain. The brain must send the right signal
to the right set of muscles to perform "ON DEMAND." The brain
needs to practice "game movement signals." Final thought...all of us
need to spend more time with our shoes off. Shoes are restrictive.
Barefoot running and stocking feet when at home.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O
