Welcome to the wonderful world of the human body throwing a baseball! There are an infinite number of ways to use your body to throw the ball. No matter what mechanics say, your body moves & operates in personal-specific ways. Because from childhood, a person deals with gravity in their way and this affects the formation of the musculoskeletal system. (Both skeletal and muscular) During fetal life, our brain forms specific nerve connections that will later activate particular muscles, shaping their dominance throughout our lives. These connections are known as “Motor Preferences.” The process of implementation does not involve enforcing Motor Preferences but rather involves understanding and profiling athletes. By creating an environment where they can freely explore and express themselves, they have the opportunity to become the best version of themselves. Age is not a determining factor in this context. Allowing children/Players to explore is essential, as we know that “The body will never harm itself.” Coaches/Trainers/Instructors/Biomechanists need to recognize that if they are unaware of a player’s motor profile, coaching the intent alone can still lead to positive outcomes, as the body will naturally organize itself to achieve the ultimate goal, as described by Bernstein’s principle. 💢 ActionTypes #MotorPreferences #MotorPreferencesinBaseball #NPB #MLB

I will cover training transfer, specific chronic load syndrome, and volume vs. intensity in the second part of the Running-Based Conditioning for Team Sports article series. Find out more here 👉 https://1l.ink/Q4T37ZJ #complementarytraining

Now that the kids are back to school, they are back to PE, afterschool sports, club events, trials and competitions. In the matter of a few weeks, they have probably gone from doing little to alot. This can be a really bothersome issue for some and it is typically this next week or two that we will see lots more kids coming in for treatment who present with Osgood Schlatters knee pain. Read here to find out a little more about this condition. https://buff.ly/4bnA3SU #physiojersey #physio #JerseyCI #Classes #kids #sportykids #dancing #kneepain #Pilates #Running #RunningJersey #StrengthandConditioning

In the weeks to come, I will be breaking down each area of this overview specifically for Boys/Young Men... NOTE: These are great suggestion, educational information and an outline of how this works. To make it work for your athlete I STRONGLY SUGGEST getting with a reputable Nutritionist that can work with you, the coach/parent to put the individualized puzzle together. This is the key to your athletes success and seeing your investment into their athletic journey pay off... It truly is science that is a marathon, NOT sprint! https://lnkd.in/gkWdhDai

Keeping the game flowing smoothly while ensuring fairness is key to effective refereeing. Stay aware of the pace of play and manage stoppages proactively. If the match tempo escalates, a brief pause or clear instruction can help reset the rhythm. Your control of the game’s tempo helps maintain fairness and engagement. #ResilientReferees #MentalHealth #Education #Resilience #Referee #MentalToughness #overcomeobstacles #yellowcard #mentalhealthisimportant #goal #mentalhealthmatters #itsoktotalk #refereeabuse #grassrootsfootball #mentalwellness #fifa

So lets address the elephant in the room. !!Studies suggest that up to 80% of people who start combat sports drop out within the first few months.!! SO, what specific strategies do you use to make beginners feel welcome and comfortable during their first Jiu Jitsu class? Here are a couple we use with our gyms: 1) FIND OUT WHY THEY ARE COMING BEFORE THEY SHOW UP. This is a must. You need to have some idea of why they are coming in that day to train. With this information, you can cater their session around those goals 2) Dont beat them up! It is time for you as owner to discuss with your members that new people need to get some wins in. Have beginners paired up with your most experienced and have them leave with their ego in tact. 3) FOLLOW UP AFTER THEIR CLASS Call the beginners and ask them for feedback, what they liked and didnt like, and remind them when your next class is New students are the lifeblood of a gym. If you can consistently bring in new members, you will never have another cashflow problem again.

After an ACL reconstruction, the journey back to sport isn't just about strength—it's about reactivating and relearning movements. Six months in, your rehab will include sport-specific exercises to prepare you for your return. Under your PT's guidance, and with support from school athletic trainers, you'll safely reintroduce sports drills, enhancing recovery and ensuring a confident comeback. 🏋️♂️🔄 #RehabJourney #MovementRelearning #SportSpecificTraining
