PSA🚨 • I don’t think this injury was necessarily avoidable, same with Rodgers, Tatum, Lillard, KD, etc… • I don’t know who Haliburton trains with and what he does or doesn’t do in his training. • I am simply pointing out general things that I saw overlooked when working on D1, D2, D3 andd professional level sports medicine teams. • Cumulative load from the season, playing injured, modern playing surfaces, societal norms around footwear, etc… Here are some takeaways: - Achilles tendon ruptures are becoming more prevalent in sports. - Training methods often neglect the importance of tendon and ligament strength. - The length-tension relationship is crucial for muscle and tendon health. It needs to be considered when training. - Isolating big muscle groups can lead to imbalances and increased injury risk. Isolate the small, supporting cast too! - Professional athletes often play too many games, increasing injury risk. - Playing surfaces and footwear significantly impact injury rates. - Foot health is critical for preventing Achilles injuries. - Athletes must understand their training to achieve desired results. - Competitiveness can lead athletes to push through current injuries and into new ones, sadly.
