hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we'll be going over
the top five ways to avoid injuries and where to start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
just talk about straight lines we also want to talk about your delivery quick
we break down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
alright so this is something that i work a lot with is really being able to help people in not
only preventing injuries but also by being able to recover injuries there was a time where i was
going more into like a physical therapy type of route and really learned a lot more about
the body and you know how you can train it to be able to prevent injuries moving forward and
you know the first thing i think and these are not in a particular order these i think all end
up mattering a lot uh but this is something that you know i see over and over again is at
the end of the day you got to have the correct biomechanics and there's so much that goes into
that whether you know you're not properly decelerating within your foot or your ankle
or you know not stabilizing correctly within the knees within the shoulders there's so many or even
the elbows like all those things end up making a big difference and a lot of times when you have
a definitely when you have a big injury a big soft tissue injury there's something that's going on
biomechanically that either cause that or you're gonna end up suffering from uh that's gonna end
up making it so you have injuries more injuries in the past the best predictor of uh somebody that's
gonna be at risk for injury is have they had past injuries right so if you have like a right
ankle issue the likelihood of you having then a right knee problem or another right ankle issue
you know goes up significantly and so you really want to understand how your body should be moving
and what are some of the things that cause you to have a injury in the first place right so
um really going into the your biomechanics making sure you don't have any big asymmetries from one
side to the other making sure that you're pushing off you know similarly from one side to the other
decelerating well on one side compared to the other very very similarly on both because when you
end up having again one side that is maybe really good at pushing off the other side that isn't that
creates a long sustained pattern of you know not being able to move correctly which you know over
the course of five years ten years whatever will lead itself to injuries and it's not like can it's
like it will you know like you want to be able to make sure that you have a great understanding of
how to you know utilize the body and that's why we put a big focus on the mechanics when it comes to
running throwing jumping walking even because all that really matters a lot
next thing is going to be a proper warm-up proper cooldown you know so i think that ends up being
a big thing for you know when somebody ends up having like groin pulls or or hamstring pulls or
something like that it's just not properly warming up properly cooling down you know the older you
get the more important that ends up becoming and you know you really want to have something
that is pretty consistent right something that you're doing like every time you go and work
out you have like a certain warm up that you do or at least have some type of you know rhythm to
how you get yourself warmed up and get yourself ready for any type of performance so
you know the more you can make that something that is consistent i think the better off you're gonna
be instead of it being you know super random and and really not having too much um yeah consistency
with it the next one's gonna be working on acceleration and deceleration and you know really
working that in both the concentric which is like the contraction part of the muscle as well as the
eccentric which is controlling the lengthening of the muscle and doing that in a wide degree of you
know ranges of motion right so you want to be able to like there's a lot going on right now with like
sprinting and being able to work on you know the muscles that slow you down so running backwards
right so not only are you working on on accelerating or running forwards but you're
also working on your ability to move backwards same type of thing with throwing there's a lot of
throw programs that incorporate throwing backwards right with pictures that you know you throw in
front and then you also throw behind and so you know that ends up being a really important part of
understanding the way to be able to stay healthy and avoid injuries is you have to be able to
accelerate great right like you have to be able to create a lot of force you have to be able to jump
high you got to be able to run fast you got to be able to you know move your arm very quickly but
you also have to understand that you need to train the deceleration part of that right so you have to
be able to train the muscles that are going to slow down your arm as you're throwing you have
to be able to train the muscles that are going to slow down your body when you're running fast and
that will just make it so you're more in balance right so if you're only working on the muscles
that are making you run fast then you're not going to be able to have the same sustainability as if
you train both the muscles that help you run fast and the help the muscles that help you you
know slow down or run backwards fast so and it's a great way to be able to incorporate some degree of
rest as well like you know you're always working on your acceleration then you know your muscle's
going to get more fatigued more overworked things like that but if you're working on both sides of
the muscles and being able to understand full range of motion understand you know utilizing
explosive power being able to isometrically contract concentrically contract eccentrically
contract there's so many different ways you can work the muscles and so many different
types of training that you can do there's really something you could be doing on a constant basis
you just have to have the knowledge in order to make that happen and that's really what
we're trying to provide here with the you know performance live california youtube channel and
also all of our programs number four is gonna be proper nutrition you know i think that that
ends up being a big thing and also hydration i i've worked with a good amount of people
that you know something it happens you know working out you know we're training whatever
um you know all of a sudden they start cramping or not feeling well or this or that or you know
even your muscles are are starting to tighten up on them a lot of times ends up being nutrition
right and and i think i was very very blessed with that and you know my dad is big into nutrition and
so always growing up i always had um very healthy meals i i really took care of my body a lot and i
think that really set me up to perform well when it came to really any type of athletic endeavor
because i was always eating such a great diet that you know i don't i never really had injuries
i never really had to deal with a lot of those types of problems and i think a lot of it had to
do with what i was putting into my body and also the different types of sports that i was always
doing you know i wasn't always stuck to one sport i was doing a wide variety of different sports
which ended up being important as well um and then the last one is going to be a consistent
training program and the reason that's important is because you have to you know if you're going to
go and work out two three times and it's really high intensity and it's really difficult and
there's a lot of weights and a lot of resistance and you're working out for two three hours you're
gonna have a higher likelihood of having some type of injury that way because of just the pure
volume and the use that you're asking out of your body in comparison to you know keeping something
more consistent i try to work out you know seven eight times a week um you know maybe even nine
and the way that i'm able to do that is i just don't go you know for i mean i can't really from
because of my my work and everything but you know i'll do an hour hour and a half at that you know
every day different types of exercise but just keep it consistent you know some days i push more
sometimes i push less sometimes i do more you know speed and power sometimes i do more strength and
you know resistance sometimes i do more stretching more yoga um you know all the it just depends it
varies and that makes it so you know my my muscles in my body is constantly adapting and building and
my muscles are always ready for performance um you know you have to be able to obviously build
yourself up to be able to you know work out as consistently as i am but again that goes into how
you want to build yourself up and how you want to be on a consistent program if you go from you know
zero to a hundred like right now a lot of people are doing that because it's january and they
want to start losing weight in 2022 either the likelihood of you all of a sudden having knee pain
elbow pain shoulder pain back pain whatever goes up because you weren't used to that type of load
all of a sudden you go in and you have this giant spike and your body's not ready for it so you know
you want to have something that is more consistent and rather rather than being two ups and downs
because that ends up causing you know more likelihood for injury so as always guys i hope you
