• I don’t think this injury was necessarily avoidable, same with Rodgers, Tatum, Lillard, KD, etc…

• I don’t know who Haliburton trains with and what he does or doesn’t do in his training.

• I am simply pointing out general things that I saw overlooked when working on D1, D2, D3 andd professional level sports medicine teams.

• Cumulative load from the season, playing injured, modern playing surfaces, societal norms around footwear, etc…

Here are some takeaways:

- Achilles tendon ruptures are becoming more prevalent in sports.

- Training methods often neglect the importance of tendon and ligament strength.

- The length-tension relationship is crucial for muscle and tendon health. It needs to be considered when training.

- Isolating big muscle groups can lead to imbalances and increased injury risk. Isolate the small, supporting cast too!

- Professional athletes often play too many games, increasing injury risk.

- Playing surfaces and footwear significantly impact injury rates.

- Foot health is critical for preventing Achilles injuries.

- Athletes must understand their training to achieve desired results.

- Competitiveness can lead athletes to push through current injuries and into new ones, sadly.

For all you long distance, runners and triathlon folks … if your calves are bigger than your ass… your need to give it up. Relearn how to move.

1. ​ Most people can’t withstand the amount of joint impact. Leading to inflammation, cortisol spikes and more fat retention and muscle loss.
2. ​ Most people have terrible running form and are creating compensation patterns and joint discomfort in their day-to-day lives
3. ​ The super “healthy” eating, oddly skinny people who run too much, continuously fight an uphill battle with gaining muscle, and typically don’t eat enough protein because all they care about is carb fueling, are hurting their longevity
4. ​ Most people should get fit to run, not run to get fit. Most people would benefit more from fixing their muscle imbalances and improving movement patterns, especially their gait.
5. ​ “Most people!” Let’s say 70% of Americans are overweight or obese. Let’s assume 50% of them want to improve their overall health and keep their weight in a consistently healthy range. These are the people I’m referring to.

If that is you… That’s okay! There is a solution…

1. ​ Dietary changes (whole different convo but has to be a vital part of the equation)
2. ​ Do 15-30 minute simple “workouts” 3-5x per week

- Walking, Biking, Swimming

- Basic ankle, hip and shoulder mobility

- Basic bodyweight exercises
