INJURY PREVENTION 101

For my fellow parents of young athletes. I will work on creating time to really address this issue, however, here is a quick overview of my thoughts as it pertains to injury prevention

Injury Prevention for Young Athletes

Starting Point:
All endeavors in life and sports should be pursued for the glory of God, with the acknowledgment that the only way to God is through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Quote:
As Herm Edwards, former NFL player and coach, famously said, "The best ability is availability."

1. Hydration:
Muscles are approximately 75% water, and our blood is about 90% water. Adequate hydration is crucial for muscle performance, oxygenation, recovery, and healing. Aim to drink water equivalent to your body mass in ounces per day.

2. Sleep:
Adolescent athletes should aim for at least eight hours of sleep per night. Sufficient sleep allows muscles and soft tissues to heal and recover, leading to better performance and reduced injury risk.

3. Proper Training:
Focus on slow eccentric movements to train muscles to resist injury during high-speed activities. Positive actions contract muscles, while negative or eccentric actions lengthen them. Training for injury prevention involves strategic lengthening of muscles to avoid strains and tears.

4. Stretching:
Incorporate Pilates and yoga into training routines to sustain muscle length and flexibility. These exercises teach muscles to avoid stretching or shortening too quickly, reducing the risk of soft tissue injuries.

5. Sensory System Training:
Enhance proprioception by training on uneven surfaces like balance pads or sand. This improves the body's awareness of its position, reducing the risk of lower extremity injuries during jumping and landing activities.

6. Progressive Training:
Gradually increase training intensity and duration to improve endurance levels without overexerting muscles. Avoid rapid progressions that can lead to fatigue and increase injury risk.

7. Nutrition:
Fuel your body with living, oxygen-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables to optimize performance and reduce inflammation. Avoid processed foods that drain energy and hinder recovery.

8. Healing before Returning to Sport:
Ensure injuries are fully healed before returning to sports activities to prevent re-injury. Focus on rehabilitation rather than performance training until full recovery is achieved.

We haven’t done verse of the day in a while, so I’m just gonna call this the verse of the year. I was led to this verse a few days ago while studying a different verse with my children. I noticed that they were getting in the habit of saying God in a general way, and it was disturbing my spirit significantly.

I don’t want my children to become like many of the people who I encounter, who when the opportunity arises use the word or name God, as to not offend, others, or draw a line in the sand. I want them to say the name JESUS CHRIST, as loud as they possibly can (while still being gentle), and with every opportunity that arises ….and this verse is why!

Jesus is very clear in this verse… He is the ONLY way to God and if we don’t make this clear to the people we are put in front of on PURPOSE, We are missing out on the greatest opportunity we have in this world.

We went on to talk about truth and life as well, but I don’t want to turn this into a book, rather than a post 🤣🤣🤣. In summary and essence, I just encourage all of you to say HIS name! It is the most powerful name that this world has ever known, and without it, you literally have nothing (and this is not my opinion…by definition this is the TRUTH and therefore factual)

Jude 1:16 caught my attention this morning. If we are not careful, this could actually serve as the definition of “social media” for many of us. Be careful! The enemy is very sneaky…he can take something that starts with good intentions and pervert it into selfishness and evil!

More than 40,000 encounters with seniors taught me a lesson: Life’s equity empowers us to do more for loved ones. Black men, sadly, continue to lag in life expectancy stats. It’s bigger than us; it’s generational. Let’s break this cycle. My goal is 120 years of equity in a life full of serving . Remembering and , we must address health issues that affect us. I say this after literally working with a 100 year old black man today! In honor of longevity, type 120 in the comments if you’re with me! 🙏🏾💪🏾

"Just gifted this shirt to an incredible 92-year-old dynamo who's urging me to hurry up so she can get back to her 20-hour workweek at a cardiologist's office! 🙌 Despite having a fractured tibia, her determination is inspiring. The shirt captures her essence perfectly.

Stay tuned, because I'm excited to share a new podcast episode soon that delves into what I call 'generational work.' I firmly believe that as creations in God's image, we're meant to embrace work. 🛠️

This amazing woman truly embodies this concept. Let's take a page from her book and align our plans with our divine purpose. Remember, since the day of rest in Genesis, God hasn't stopped working. 🌟 So why do many of us shy away from it or flaunt leisure as if it's the ultimate goal?

Join me for this conversation as we explore how subtly the devil has skewed our perspective on work. Let's decipher how work is our ally, not an adversary.

📚 "Thou Shall Eat Your Way Out" by Dr. Eric Petty🌟

🔔 Hey, Facebook friends! Today, I want to share a personal update that comes straight from the depths of my heart. Many of you are familiar with my book, "Thou Shall Eat Your Way Out," and it's time for a significant revelation. 🌱

Recently, I had a steak after seven years, and it struck me deeply. It made me pause and reflect on my journey, the choices I've made, and the impact they've had on my well-being. And here's what I want to share with all of you: that last steak I had will be my LAST. 🥩

This moment is a powerful turning point for me—a personal commitment to rededicate the way I approach my nutrition. In "Thou Shall Eat Your Way Out," I delve into the fascinating intricacies of our food choices and the profound impact they have on our lives. 💡

But here's the thing—I'm not here to tell you what you should or shouldn't eat. No, my intention is to ignite a spark within each of you, to invite you to reflect on your own food habits, and to discover the choices that align with your well-being. It's about empowering you to make conscious decisions for yourself. 🌿

If you've already explored the pages of "Thou Shall Eat Your Way Out," I encourage you to revisit the wisdom shared within and reawaken your own journey of self-discovery. And if you haven't yet embarked on this transformative read, now is the perfect time to join me. 📖✨

Together, let's unlock the power of conscious nutrition and create a future where we nourish our bodies, minds, and souls in alignment with our deepest values. It's a journey of self-discovery, of reclaiming our health, and of embracing a life well-lived. 💫

God is Good!
Spoke to a veteran struggling with PTSD from Vietnam the other day. This started as a consult to find the right product for his but in the end the majority of the conversation landed on …he set me on a path of differentiating from the meditation techniques that more resemble .

This chapter says a lot as God prepared for his mission after the death of . I can relate!

I have not been consistent with meditation. However, when I am in a season of consistency, I notice how much more God can accomplish through me. I’m working on being consistently !

In any case, I that you can find time to consider meditation…and especially expose your to it… my guess is, you will thank yourself for it later.

In the end, we settled on some as a starter, but more importantly we advanced our and he will hopefully continue a quest toward practicing meditation to help him look forward to what God has for him to do vs. repeatedly replaying the horrors of what happened in .

I don’t know what your issue or issues may be…but I think mediation is helpful for everything. And if you want to talk to someone, I have two ears waiting😀 and may be able to point you in the right direction for your needs. God bless.

I don’t know about y’all, but I struggle with my when I’m taken out of my routine. To say that we’ve been off routine this past 12 months would be an understatement.

As we come up on a year from a time of when I had to legitimately think about losing my youngest child, followed by the of losing more than half of my income, all the way up to our most recent change in routine, as my daughters soccer team chased a National Championship, while pretty much canceling summer….this past 12 months has been a roller coaster.

With all of that change in routine, I have definitely played “lost and found” with the game. When I started the regime of The (approximately 5 years ago) I had lost approximately 50lbs. (And kept it off pretty consistently) I’ve probably found about 30 of those pounds over the past 12 months🤣🤣🤣.

But that is over! Today I will start reading this book again (for the first time since I published via ). I will revisit the principles that I have preached to many and go ahead and “eat myself out again”.

If you’d like to take this journey with me, I have a copy of the book waiting for you at TheSixtyFiveMovement.com or in my trunk if you’re local 😀. Take the journey with me!

I did very little marketing with this book as it dropped right when Covid ramped up, which derailed many plans. Even without the marketing, I can tell you that this book has changed lives….I’ve seen it first hand. Maybe it can help you…

Message me or get at me however you need to if you want to help hold me accountable during this journey….I will do the same for you!

God bless!
