So a lot of that just comes from, you know, either a restriction or some sort of like quick motion that they're not prepared to do.
So we do a lot of like pelvis work, like rotating their hips, making sure that it's
you know, in a stable position to like flex, extend and rotate in and out.
Um, that's always going to be number one, just because of how significant it is in, in all of the actions of their sport.
And then secondary to that being like their trunk as well and how those two things kind of interplay off of each other.
Um,
A lot of that kind of starts with some ground-based work, making sure their pelvis is in a good spot, right?
So turning their core on, engaging their glutes, engaging their hamstrings to kind of set a good quality position and then make sure that their legs can independently rotate internally and externally through their body.
I'm always going to start there.
And, and I think that's like, just for general, like good general health purposes, uh, you know, walking, running, you talk about going down and playing some baseball, like you're going to be exposed to sprinting.
So like the, the, um, the more freedom you have there, like to, to work through some areas that haven't maybe gotten the attention, particularly with like running, um,
that you're doing up here, assuming like you're up in the Northeast and you're not like sprinting outside in the snow.
Um, those are going to be those things that like keep you kind of healthy and more resilient.
So a lot of people go towards like the hamstring stretching.
Like we want to make sure they're strong in that they're in the best, like most optimal, like position, meaning like,
they're not over lengthened or under lengthened so that they can perform within like their normal, like their, their normal ranges.
Yeah, well, first for the player perspective...
we're generally not driving guys to lose weight.
You know, a lot of times we're trying to battle them losing weight and just, like, maintaining or gaining just because there's, you know, so much on-feed activities.
And, you know, like, you think about any time where you're working out, like, you're never thinking in the moment, like, oh, man, I'm really hungry right now.
