Thought for the Day: Treating Pain

This is just a quick thought to ponder. I may eventually do a short blog post on this subject but for now, just two sentences:

Don't just treat an individual for pain. Also correct any dysfunctions as a form of preventative medicine to lower risk for future injury.

Bullets from Eric Schoenberg, Eric Cressey, and Matt Blake: Part 3

About a month or two ago, Eric Cressey (@EricCressey) hosted a baseball training mentorship at his facility in Massachusetts. He had a few guest speakers there, including Eric Schoenberg and Matt Blake (@Blake_Matt). They were "live tweeting" during the event, trying to share some info on Twitter with their followers. If you already follow these two, then you may have seen this information before. If you haven't (and even if you have), I suggest you click to read more as I will post a few of the bits I found good for parents/coaches/etc.

While the purpose of this mentorship may have been geared toward baseball players, A LOT of the information they shared can be applied to athletes of many different sports.

There is a lot of information here, so I'm breaking this up into three parts. Part One will be quotes from Eric Schoenberg. Part Two from Eric Cressey. Part Three from Matt Blake.


Finally getting around to posting the Third and final part of these bullets. Click to read on.
