Yeah, I mean, I want to be reasonable about it.
Not too technical. I'm not thinking boulders and rocks, but I definitely like to go hills, up and down, dirt track, all that kind of stuff without having to worry about it. Okay. What else? Another one is I grew up being an athlete. My youngest seems to be the more inclined to be an athlete. So as I age, I want to be able to hang with him as long as I can.
So that means throwing, hitting a baseball as long as possible. Who knows how their careers will evolve from an athletic standpoint, but Odds are they're not going to be pros. So I really want to keep that base where I can keep playing with them as long as I can. But to me, it's all about being able to still play with the grandkids because family is one of the most important things out there.
And if your grandpa is sitting there and can do cool stuff, I think that serves as a great role model. Whereas if you're suffering from an injury, you're not healthy, then they want to hang out with you. But at the same time, kids want to go do stuff and I don't want to be left out.
Yeah. And if you aren't building up these areas of need or you're accidentally letting these certain athletic kind of movements fall by the wayside, all of a sudden you're like, oh man, I can't do that anymore. I love coaching my kids' basketball team. And one of the other kids on our team, their grandpa was out on the court with us one day. He was, I think, 74.
He wasn't doing windmill dunks or anything, but he was moving and he could shoot. And every kid there, their eyes lit up. They're like, grandpa can shoot. That's crazy. That was a cool moment. That's why I put on my list of just playing with kids might be my whole CD. My wife might have something different to say about that.
But I think for me, it's like if I can play and if I can do all those things, then I'm doing pretty well.
To me, it's everyone's drawn to this high performance, be awesome right now. And that's like a boom-bust strategy. You might pull it off, but you're high risk and eventually you'll hit the wall for a race car. But if we're thinking long-term, then by default, if I'm going to be an awesome 70 or 80-year-old, I kind of have to be an awesome 45 or 55-year-old.
We're going to be doing things now that make you crazy strong, that help your lean muscle mass, that burns your fat, all those health risk things. But you're also going to be way more prepared for whatever life throws at you.
And if your buddy talks you into going skiing or going to do a volleyball game or whatever else, you're going to be way more ready for it if you're thinking long-term and building this crazy robust foundation rather than just chasing the newest technique or the newest technology.
Yeah. There's a lot stacked against you, plus variables that we're not prepared for, or we could roll our ankle. But give me somebody who's strong all day, and if they sprain their ankle coming out of the bar, they're actually going to sprain it less, odds are. So all this insulation and capacity we put around us with the individual goals is crucial to prevent injury.
And these injuries can stack up and cause a lot of trouble and then we get less healthy. And that's how you get these multipliers where I was on track to be really good, but this knee arthritis or this multiple meniscus repairs I had to get because I wasn't stable caused me to actually lose my hiking ability. And then all of a sudden I got less healthy.
What do they figure is going on with you? It's funny you say that because the assessment takes two days and we're looking under the hood a lot in a lot of different ways.
It's funny how they evolve like their perspective of it because what I was kind of forced to do in my career was I had experience working with teams and all that other stuff, but I kind of became an off-season person for these athletes. And by default, I had to almost become a strength coach
Not because I wanted to or that was my goal, but because these athletes needed that bridge from I'm injured to I might be injured to, hey, I've got the green light for performance. All humans are moving up and down that spectrum based on our recovery and all these variables. So what's been fun at 10 Squared is I get to do all the assessment I want, and it's not really a clinical assessment.
On the one hand, we're of course looking at things that either have pain or that individual member has had a previous injury with, and we're accounting for that and we're making sure that's on track or could be improved and we add those things. But then I also get to play around and look at what else is weak? What is this individual at risk for?
So one example is we have a client who loves to surf. He's got a shoulder issue. So by default, surfing and swimming on a surfboard is a different position than a traditional freestyle stroke. So we had to make his shoulder uniquely robust in certain directions. And so that's part of his strength program.
One of my biggest pet peeves in the rehab world is when people give someone 30 exercises that are really tedious and boring and no human sticks to that. They might do it for a week or two, but if it's not bridging to what they love and what they want to do, it won't get there. So if we can bake in ensuring that all the strength training won't make them worse and
And then also make sure that we're baking in their little corrective exercises or improving the gaps. That's where you make a huge difference into how someone feels, but also how they can perform.
I think the first rule is the medical community. So your orthopedic surgeon or your neurologist and then your rehab pro have to be in sync and have a relationship. And how often is that happening? I mean, it's very rare. What's really interesting is the philosophy and the individual just spirit of either surgeon or the rehab pro. They have to be kind of committed to the service-oriented field.
