ACL rupture ⁣
I injured myself (non-contact injury) during a practise match. Unlike my other ACL tear in ~2018/2019 I knew this was a nasty one straight away 👀😂 {insert cornflake crunching noise} dynamic knee valgus (inward knee collapse). ⁣
⁣
To oversimplify this, injuries happen mostly due to under exposure or over-exposure. ⁣
⁣
I was underexposed to the demands of my sport 🏀 as I allowed my own training to drop way down the priority list with juggling being very busy with work & my PhD research. ⁣
⁣
When we train, we expect adaptation i.e. gain muscle, strength etc⁣
⁣
When we don’t train, we forget there’s also an adaptation - reversibility. ⁣
⁣
I did not prepare for the demands of the sport, I did not train enough and adaptation went into reverse mode 📉 this is also applicable to connective tissue i.e. ligaments becoming brittle (smaller + stiff).⁣
⁣
I’ll be documenting my rehab and return to play……and rethink my priorities 👀📈

Surface selection (given the luxury) is a variable we need to consider in our planning with athletes.

⁣
Ice baths, plunge pool and other icy IG posts have been trending for some time. ⁣

Do you use ice baths or plunge pools to help recovery?
⁣
Athlete recovery is a major piece of the performance puzzle. ⁣
⁣
Cold water immersion has become a big part of team sports recovery protocols and beliefs. ⁣
⁣
Has it a place ? It depends. ⁣
Is it a magic recovery method? No.

A lot of athletes fall into the gap.

Time and again, I see athletes cleared by their physio to return to training.

The problem is this is often (at best) based on pain-free non-linear running.

This is not return to play - a major gap exists between this and the true demands of the athletes sport. Unfortunately, a lot of athletes fall into this gap and get re-injured.

I am thrilled for being selected for the senior national team 🇮🇪 competing at the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris.

I’ve worked with Holly for a number of years from the age of 14 and I am so happy to have played a small role in her continued (and earned) successes.

Holly is one of the most diligent athlete’s I’ve worked with and hard work was never lacking, this was apparent within our first number of training sessions.

Congratulations 🎉 on an amazing achievement.
