SS Radio #226: "Elite" "Functional" "Fitness."

[Jason Donaldson]

His trainer says:

"There is something that we focus on called tissue resilience, working in different positions, to where his tissues literally have to create density and have to adapt to these positions I’m putting him in. And those things give you a little more of a resistance to injury."

Spoken like someone whose education has idiomatically created a form of density...

I don't know if anyone here has been watching the Netflix documentary series "Quarterback" but in episode 3 you get to see a bit of Patrick Mahomes training, doing the same sort of stuff that you highlight.

His trainer says:

I read two interviews with that coach and have no idea WTF he said. It was just a word salad with a bunch of trendy fitness buzzwords and euphemisms.

Not a direct quote, but it was all shit like "On day 1 we develop human readiness potential in the game space by manipulating tissue response via various resistance modalities. Then on day 2 we translate that potential by tapping into the recovery process to elicit a new stimulus reaction to the movement pattern."

Let's withhold judgment on it until his covid test comes back.

I'm not sure this could have been prevented in any way, his foot was trapped and ankle got dorsiflexed to the absolute max.

IMO, in either art.turf or grass his foot still gets stuck in there.

Maybe an elite asian olympic weightlifter (extreme dorsiflexion under sudden load), a gymnast, or a yoga-yogi survives that (extreme dorsiflexion under sudden load).

Could be just shitty luck. Could be Functional Training.

Being from Detroit, I wasn't an Aaron Rodgers fan. I was pretty much done with the NFL anyway after the "kneeling" crap during the national anthem.

However, after he spoke out against vaccine mandates and was subsequently ostracized, I really liked that he stood up against the tyranny and I gained a tremendous amount of respect for the man.

Hoping he recovers well.

Also, Rodgers is ~40 y.o. also .... with at least 27 years of football-toil on his body.

wait a minute

didn't you tear your Achilles by simply pushing a prowler sled or something?

you weren't partaking in the Functional Fitness ...were you?
