The 10 keys to keeping your athlete healthy...a guest-post by Steve Fudge

Like Steve and Kevin, I dont believe in the term

injuryprone.

Injuries are rarely flukes. There is always a reason -

whether it be poor mechanics, inappropriate

programming or loading, or an ineffective medical setup.Blaming bad luck for injuries is a total cop-out.

1. Stress Management

People get hurt because their system is unable to cope

with the level of stress that they are getting exposed to.

People never get hurt by accident. Even when

something seems accidental, my belief is that the body

is smart and finds ways to protect itself from overload.

2. Multi-dimensionaility of Stress

Dont get trapped into thinking that training stress is the

only type of stress. I always talk to my athletes about the

bath tub with several taps coming into it. Each tap

represents a different stressor in your l ife: training;relationships; money; car issues; travelling etc,. The bath

tub wil l over flow if all the taps are on. It is the same withthe body. It doesnt distinguish between stressors. So be

very aware of the whole picture around your athlete.

3. Inappropriate Training Loads

Your athletes will only get hurt because you expose them

to inappropriate training loads.


10/25

.....

If they have a lot of stress going in their l ife, adjust the

training load.

If their mechanics are poor (until their mechanics improve of course).

If they have banged up tissue If their joint system isnt functioning right on that day-

If they have had a long-haul flight two days before


11/25

.....

It doesnt mean less training.It means using the training options you have in front of you

to make sure they survive that particular training day.You have to accept that certain changes are long-term in

nature (mechanical, tissue, joint changes) so in the

shortterm

you have to be very smart in the training loads you

expose your athletes to whilst you work on resolving the

longer term issues.

4. Injuries Dont Happen in Isolation

As appealing as the black swan idea is; in my experience

it doesnt really fit the process of injury occurrence. I read

once that significant injuries can be like a light bulb going

out. With a light bulb you will always get signs that the

light bulb is about to go out. Small flickers happen beforethe light eventually blows. It is the same with injuries.


13/25

..

There are a thousand different signals that the body is not

coping. Colds, cramps, ground contact quality changes

etc,. You just have to be observant enough to read the

signs. You also have to be emotionally removed to allow

yourself to accept the signs. Conformational bias anddenial can lead to you building a picture you want to see.

Dont be that guy.

5. Healthy Joint Function

In my experience if the joint system is not perfect then the

soft tissue will have to take up the slack. This is bad news.

This situation reminds me of the butterfly effect. Smallfractions away from optimal joint movement can lead to

massive demands placed on the soft tissue.


15/25

6. Quality of Soft-tissue

Work constantly on the quality and capacity of your joint

system and soft t issue. This is your insurance policy. We

are in the business of producing the largest possible forcesin the shortest possible times. This is hard and stressful

task. Overload will and needs to happen. But conditioned

tissue and joints wil l be able to deal with things much more

efficiently than banged up tissue and poor functioning

joints.


16/25

7. Good Mechanics

As above we are in the business of producing the largest

possible forces in the shortest possible times. Good

mechanics can help you optimise this. And will allow you tobe more efficient at doing this. So constantly work on the

technical aspects of your event. In the long run, the

improved efficiency will also allow you to achieve

significantly more training load by reducing the stress on

the body. And more training at the appropriate speeds wil lmake you run faster.

8. Balancing Long-term with Short-term Success

As a coach you have a fine line you need to walk betweenshort-term success and longer-term sustainability and

success. Short term success can be easily achieved with a

huge exposure to training load. This will bring with it many

injury issues, though.

..


18/25

..

Some people operate on the basis of the people who

survive and dont break are the ones that are going to be

successful. Or the season you get through and survive is

worth the ones that you dont. So as a coach you need to

decide your philosophy.

If you have a huge talent pool, then choosing the short termstrategy might be appropriate. In situations of smaller

talent reserves then you might need to get your tight rope

out and walk the line.

9. Team around the Team

Be very aware of the team you build around your athletes.Our job is to stress and overload the athletes as much as

we can without breaking them. It is a very thin l ine we have

to tread. To help you tread this line you will need the

support of a very skilled and sensitive medical team. As a

coach take responsibil ity for establishing roles, creating

understanding and developing l ines of communication with

your team. If problems arise your ability to manage them

effectively is completely dependent on the strength of the

team you have created, and the collaboration you have

encouraged.


20/25

10. Develop a Relationship

As a coach, be totally connected to your athletes. Tap into

their rhythms. Observe. Reflect. Be patient. Make smart

decisions. Make more smart decisions than you make badones and you will have a chance.

matter, any athlete, are

DONT HINDER THE ATHLETES ABILITY TO PRACTICE

CONSIDER THE PHYSICAL STIMULUS OF PRACTICE

IMPROVING DURABILITY

AVOID COMPETING FOR TECHNICAL RESOURCES

MAINTAIN THE ATHLETES BODYWEIGHT

USE PASSIVE RECOVERY MEANS

UNDERSTAND WHO NEEDS TO DO WHAT

Fr mich:

Athlet als Mensch Zuhren

Gesundheit Nr. 1 Prioritt Verstndnis

Vorbeugung ist besser als heilen!

WK Periode: weniger ist mehr

Untersttzung (medizinisch) Kommunikation, Vertrauen, Respekt

Qualitt, nicht Quantitt

Arbeitskapazitt, nicht unbedingt GLA
