#30 Wait Until You're Injured? Most Are 100% Preventable! with Dr. Kelly STARRETT
Beyond Athletic with Ryan Jay Owens
The Importance of Ankle Braces
Anything we brace is going to become weaker. We need you to work putting on a brace while you play or a wrap that gives you some sort of compression and proprioceptive input so that you can play at the highest levels. "I don't care how strong your ankles are, somebody steps under you and you're coming down from wherever you have a good chance"
#30 Why Wait Until You're Injured? Most Are 100% Preventable! with Dr. Kelly STARRETT
EXPERT GAMEPLAN SESSION: (USA) FORMER US CANOE TEAM MEMBER, CO-OWNER OF SAN FRANCISCO CROSSFIT & MOBILITYWOD.COM
FEBRUARY 20, 2015
Dr. Kelly Starrett of MobilityWOD.com & San Francisco Crossfit
Hello, World!
BACKGROUND
A few years back during one of my volleyball seasons, I started to have these random knee issues and I had no idea what actions I needed to take. I came across Dr. Starrett and his “mobility stuff”online and I didn’t know what any of it was. As I continued to research, I found so many things from him that has helped me throughout my career over the years, so I guarantee to all of you who are listening, you will be able to take many lessons away from today’s episode. We will get into all of the basic things athletes, or anyone in general, need to have or do on a day to day basis when it comes to maintaining a high fitness level and staying healthy. He talks about the importance of having a ball sport in your repertoire as a kid as well as being involved in a sliding sport (ie: surf, skate, ski). Today you will learn why Dr. Starrett says that “the first wealth is health.”

Hello, World!
Key Discussion Points:
As far as training and conditioning in youth teams, what are things that can be done to make sure the athletes are being taught the correct technique, as it is often overlooked?
Why is MCE the new recovery for injuries?
Key Lessons:
As an athlete, there is no OFF button; athletes have a tendency to push through knowing something is wrong, coaches need to pay for attention
When conditioning properly, we can get leading indicators, signals of possible injuries that may come in the future
KS @ 21:38 “How do we know we have a problem? Pain, swelling, numbness and tingling, loss of forced production..that gets our attention, but those are lagging indicators. What we get from better conditioning is a set of leading indicators.”
Conditioning is where you reinforce the fundamental positions of particular sport
Technique in training is key
KS @ 22:44 “The best technique actually mimics the physiology of the human.”
Ready positions is ready position and its the same in all sports
Training isn’t always about strength, but more so efficiency
Icing doesn’t necessarily cure an injury
KS @ 41:03 “There is not a single piece of research that shows icing helps an injury
We reduce swelling by elevation, compression, and squeezing the inflamed/swollen area
Anything you put a brace on is eventually going to become weaker
