You can spend thousands on rehab and still not be ready to sprint

Jogging comfortably is not a test. Sprinting and changing direction are as much about braking as going, and braking puts the most load through the body. If rehab has been a few strength exercises, nothing has trained the positions your kid will be thrown into at game speed

Before game speed and a ball, I want 5 things:

1. Hip lock
2. Hip fold
3. Swing leg retraction
4. Ankle stiffness
5. Trunk stiffness

Each one gets built, then tested, then put under more speed and less predictability

Progress should feel earned, not based on vibes

Save this. Check it before anyone says your kid is ready to sprint.

The scan says healed. That’s the tissue.

While she was injured, she stopped running, cutting and landing. That capacity dropped. If rehab fixes the injury but never rebuilds the sport, the gap stays open.

Structure returning to normal doesn’t mean you’ve returned to pre-injury status.

Healed first. Then ready.

Let’s see if Pro-Form’s clinicians know how to treat their most loyal fan (me) right.

Sam Walker came back from a syndesmosis injury in 27 days. Everyone’s talking about the speed.

The bit that mattered: the week before the prelim, he trained fully. Contact, stepping, agility. He proved he could handle the game before he played it.

Most youth athletes get cleared, then find out on game day.

Clearance is permission. Readiness is proof

Most rehab chases one thing. A stronger muscle. But strength on its own isn’t what returns a kid to sport.

You can build a powerful muscle that still fires at the wrong time, in the wrong order, and that’s exactly how re-injury happens.

Sport never asks a muscle to work alone. It asks the whole system to coordinate under speed and pressure.

That’s the work. Timing, sequencing, how force travels through the body, not just how much one muscle can push on a machine.

Build the system, not the body part.

Follow for more on how this actually works.

Thank you boy, for helping me love the game again 🏏

always grateful. always proud.

this weekend I start my first competitive cricket season in over 12 years.

I found my love again after watching my son pick up a bat for the first time and smile.

I left the game in a way where i thought id never get that feeling again. Burned out, resentful and unsure of my own worth- but children have a way of making you rethink things.

This season will be a blessing and a privilege. And i hope in some way it honours my son and what he what he was able to give back to me.

Thank you Son 🧸 :)

love always
Dad

And here’s the kicker is not as hard as you think… sort of.

If you managed to get this far, i’m sure your expecting to see an essay on the wonders of modern rehab or some silver bullet that is destined to eradicate all lower back pain for good…. I wish!

The answer is simple in theory but hard in application.

It is simply progressive Load management.

WOW ! SHOCK ! AMAZE ! haha

I’ve learned as physio over the past decade that 8/10 injuries i attend to are because people rush their loads and their volumes too quickly - not allowing enough time for the body to adapt and it simply yields because it doesn’t have the gumption.

This video of me taking a full run up in spikes bowling at near maximal intent took me 6 MONTHS TO DO ! IG makes it look like everyone has wolverine like healing and are doing things at crazy rates. TRUST ME IT ISN’t TRUE.

Your body must pay the cost of the demands put on it and that requires time.

That’s all.

A good rule of thumb is the 10% rule. Where all you do is well to well bowl 10% more that the previous week.

for me at one stage that was only 4 extra balls a sessions. not alot. but nickles and dimes add up.

Brisket mentality fam :)

Here are the 4 things that were DIABOLICAL for my practice, and I'm glad I've changed them…

I'm someone who usually gets a 2-year itch, so I'm right on schedule for itch #2. This caused me to reflect…

In 4 years I've seen plenty of weird and wonderful cases, and changed A LOT about how I treat and manage people.

#1 - CHASING PERFECT POSTURE
I have a secret- when a patient says "My x hurts and I know why... I work at a desk and have terrible posture," it kills me a bit inside. THERE IS NO PERFECT POSTURE! Try sitting up straight, shoulders back, for 10 minutes straight. Things get stiff and sore sitting that way too. I care about your body being able to move BETWEEN positions. YOUR NEXT POSTURE IS YOUR BEST POSTURE. Put it on a shirt.

#2 - INSTRUCTING REHAB INSTEAD OF COLLABORATING ON IT
Lesson learnt from managing kids and a busy household. Picture a mum of 3 under 5. Let's call her Mary. Try telling Mary to set aside 30 mins a day to fix her hip… Exactly. It's not her fault. Her life doesn't let her. I'm a dad and I don't do half the stuff I'm supposed to, because I don't have time either. You need to truly understand the client. Their personality, routines, real life situations and collaborate on a solution. 100% of an average program beats 10% of a perfect one EVERY. DAY.

#3 - TAKING NON-COMPLIANCE PERSONALLY
Sometimes people won't do things. I used to think I'd programmed wrong, or hadn't educated them enough. I thought I FAILED. And sometimes, maybe I do. But sometimes people just miss a day or two. As long as fear isn't running the show, they're probably getting rehab done in their day-to-day life anyway.

#4 - DISCOUNTING MY OWN VALUE
"Give more value, Jayden." "I work in an expensive clinic." "I'm not worth $300/hour." How did I fix these thoughts? I slashed the price. Friends and family discount, referral discounts, the lot. You know what that did? Attracted bargain hunters, removed client skin in the game, and delayed their progress. I projected my money insecurities onto my clients. To their detriment.

None of these were really about technique. They were about me getting out of my own way. Relate to any of these? Tell me in the comments.

“Speed is the rising tide that lifts all ships” - @coachtonyholler

this quote typifies all sport.

Speed kills and pays the bills.

i’d argue it is the single most important commodity in sports.

yet with this consensus, i see a lot of cricketers not give it its due diligence.

Sure skills are important in a game like cricket - but fast bowling - i mean really fast bowling requires something violent and athletic which speed is the only thing that can provide that.

with people not training enough of it - it is usually the first quality to go. strength and fitness may linger but speed always dies first.

so please… for the love of what is good and holy.

DO. NOT. NEGLECT. SPEED. WORK.

Today was an interesting session

Usually on Tuesdays I like to do longer approach work and work on my run up and syncing that with my action

however way weather screws that up - the grounds are too soft and i tear up the ground which makes for pure footing and potential injuries.

no bueno

so instead I found intensity another way

I decided to pivot toward a weighted bowling day of a short approach

i used 2 run up distances and 2 weights contrasted against one another

9m with a 250g ball

11m with a 200g ball

The idea was to overload the system with some extra weight in the arm

develop proximal distal sequencing through the action

Chase maximum intent without slipping on crap grass, inevitably saving what today’s session was about so it aligns with my training week :)

I bowled 24 balls in the 45 mins i had before i had to pick up my son

safe to say job done!

weighted ball training is super dope and has a large array of benefits of used correctly

if you’re interested about how to use them drop me a dm and start a yarn !
