Tired of getting injured? Get a strength coach. Now.
There is no shortcut to success — but getting a strength coach might be the next closest thing.
“I just have weak ankles. There’s not much you can do about it.”
That’s at least what I thought, every time I tore the ligaments in my ankle. A total of 13 times throughout my career. I even published a post about it:
To quote: “Now, 11 years later, I’ve had my fair share of sports injuries: 12 torn ligaments (6 in each ankle), 3 concussions, knee ligament issues, blown out cartilage in my wrist from doing too many pushups, a partially torn quadriceps, the list goes on and on. And, two weeks ago, I added another undisclosed foot injury. In my 9 year lacrosse career, I think I’ve sat out a solid 2–3 years simply with injuries.”
That was 2 years ago. Ever since, I have not had any injury problems, and have maybe missed 2–3 weeks with minor problems.
How did I do it? Simple. I got a strength coach.
