5 Best Ways to
Decrease your Athletic Success &
Irritate Coaches & Athletic Trainers
1.
Become
weak or dizzy in practice. Cause: Lack
of eating or fluids.
A.
The human body needs energy to properly
function. We get this energy from eating
food. Just like you can’t run your car
without gas you can’t run your body without food. Skipping meals means you’re running on
empty!!
B.
You don’t get energy from
water, but if you don’t have water you don’t have energy.
C.
The fastest way to ensure poor
performance is to not drink enough water.
D.
5 Keys to staying
healthy: 1) Eat good 2) Drink plenty of
fluids 3) Get plenty of rest
4)
Train hard 5) Follow advice of athletic trainers
2.
Not correcting problems found in preliminary
screens.
A.
Medical Staff do screens to
identify potential problems and give a programs to correct them. By not doing the program you are increasing
your chance of getting injured. So, A
few weeks later you show up with an injury that keeps you out of practice
related to it.
B.
Hint: We actually write down the findings and
programs in your file and the first question you will be asked is have you been
doing your corrective exercises.
3.
Rehab until allowed to return to practice,
then discontinuing rehab.
A.
It’s important to continue
your rehab until your weakness becomes a strength.
B.
Athletes that stop rehab too
soon are more likely to get reinjured. (this means you will miss more time)
4.
Not telling us about problems early and
waiting until problem is bad.
Athletes come in with bad problems that started as a small problem
and when asked why they did not come in earlier, they say, “I didn’t think it
was that bad.” or “I thought it would go away.”
The trainers are actually medical professionals who are paid to
determine the severity of injuries. Waiting
until it is bad means longer recovery (more missed time)
5.
Not informing us ASAP after a head injury
(concussion).
Like all other injuries concussions need the right treatment to
assure full recovery.
