Puking is not a badge of honor. It is not good coaching, and it is not an acceptable training outcome. If you keep ending up there, you are not yet building the right qualities.

What should young athletes be doing?….young athletes should be doing gymnastics and some type of fighting.
Judo, aikido, jujitsu, boxing. Pick one. The point is not aggression. The point is learning how to handle your body in weird positions, fall, rotate, strike, and build a wider base of athletic skills.
We did that with Shai several years ago when he wanted to box. Great idea.
Early specialization is a dumb idea. Play everything. Build the widest base possible, then let your genetic platform take you as far as it can.

People ask what I would do if I wasn’t doing this.
The answer is, I don’t want to be doing anything else.
I have a foot in a lot of different clinical lanes, and there is not another lane I look at and think, “I’d rather be doing that.”
What I want is to do more of this by helping more people, making more money, and being recognized for being great at what I do.
I don’t want to be anything other than what I’m doing; I just want to be better at it.

Speaking versus actually working with someone?
T=R™ Core Value #3: Many things can be true at once.
I like working with individuals, and I like speaking in front of rooms. But when I am asked to pick one or the other, I would pick working with someone 10 times out of 10.
When you are actually in front of someone, you can adjust. You can zig, zag, cut back, push harder, or change the approach based on what is happening in real time.
It is like being a DJ with a graphic equalizer. You are trying to get the song right for the person in front of you.
Speaking to a room is different. People are there for different reasons, and you cannot possibly serve every reason in one hour.
One day, I would love to do a full Q&A style session where the room knows enough about what I represent to ask real, granular questions.
But if I had to choose, I would always pick being in front of someone and working through the problem with them.

Is it actually possible to prevent injuries, or is the real goal building enough strength, resilience, and capacity to better tolerate stress?
On this week’s episode I’m joined by @the_muscle_doc@redwiteandjordan and @chweingroff for an expert discussion you don’t want to miss.
Comment “INJURY” and I’ll send you a link to this week’s episode.
Special thanks to @blind.nil@blindnilaudio@magnolianetwork@thepostteam .
Being funny in front of a room is not just about making the experience more enjoyable.
When people laugh, they remember what you said.
That matters in clinical education, training, and rehab because if someone remembers even a few useful things, they may be able to help improve someone else’s life.
For me, getting people to laugh is one of the most fun parts of teaching because it means something landed. At the very least, life was better for a few minutes. And if that moment helps someone remember what matters, then it did its job.

Your hands give you information, but that information still has to be tested against the standard in front of you.
What could this person not do to the level you wanted? Could the navicular be part of that scenario? Did the assessment suggest that the joint needed to move a little more in a specific direction?
In T=R, the assessment, anatomy, language, and manual therapy all have to connect. The words are not nearly as important as the process because what you think you are seeing, what you think needs to change, and how you plan to test whether it worked all come from the assessment itself.
From there, the work has to move into active exercise. Whatever your hands helped create needs to be supported by special exercises that translate to the next layer of movement.
That is the type of decision-making behind T=R: The Foot.

If you told an engineer you had to attach something basically immovable in stiffness to something somewhat movable, and then attach that to something very movable, they would probably tell you that the system has to be managed very carefully.
That is bone, tendon, and muscle.
There is a lot to learn from thinking that way, because the tissues are not the same, they do not behave the same, and the problem is not just one piece, but how the system is managed.
This is also why it helps to talk to people outside your profession. An engineer may not work in human performance, but that does not mean the answer is not useful.
Sometimes, the simple response from another field is exactly what exposes the thing you have been missing.
