Athletes Authority

There's a saying that if you want to be a professional athlete, you have to act like a professional athlete. And it starts with an environment that replicates pro sport. Having a brand new shiny facility is one thing... But it ultimately comes down filling that facility with the things you need to go pro. That starts with other athletes all looking to achieve more in their sport… To build the competitive environment every athlete thrives on. Then adding expert coaches willing to go above and beyond for their athletes... To try and find the 1% that will give them a completive advantage over their opponents. What do these two key elements of any great facility lead to? Giving you, the athlete, tools to take into pro sport with you for life. And fore us, that's when we know we’ve made a real difference to someones athletic career. Does this sound like something you’re missing in your training? 2023 is officially half way over, don’t let another 6 months slip by waiting the perfect moment to start.

In this info-packed chat, Lachie and Kalen dive into all things ACL rehab. From surgical graft options to the shift from traditional ACL physio, focused on just getting out of pain, to a full performance-based approach that takes athletes all the way back onto the field. You'll also get insights into the psychology behind pain, what the deal is with non-operative ACL options, and exactly when and how athletes can start pre-running exercises and eccentric loading for the best recovery possible. Plus, Kalen shares insights into the framework he uses to structure rehab, keep athletes motivated, and build the strength and confidence they need to get back in action. If you're a physio, performance coach, or anyone involved with athletes, this episode is a must-listen. LISTEN HERE: https://lnkd.in/g2S6HFiu ???????? Want to elevate your ACL rehab approach further?

@jmacphysio Unracked! Nothing better than a bit of roaming chat on the gym floor

A morning on the floor with coach @djacinto.snc He may be short in stature but he certainly isn’t short on knowledge and energy! Always quick with a cheeky crack, so it’s a ripper to catch him in the act of talking his way out of an accidental insult. ??

For athletes, maintaining a consistent gym routine is crucial for enhancing performance, preventing injury, and building overall strength. However, it's not uncommon for even the most dedicated athletes to fall off track and lose their motivation. If you’ve found yourself struggling to stay consistent at the gym, especially with your strength and conditioning training, you’re not alone. In this article, we’ll explore why this happens and how a tailored strength and conditioning program can help you stay on course and reach your fitness goals.

BULLETPROOF YOUR QUADS Regardless of what stage of the knee rehab journey you are at you will should always have some degree of quad loading in your program. Here are some varieties that I use at various stages of rehab. 1?? Reverse Sled Drag: A lovely option in the early stages. Concentric dominant contractions in shortened ranges will for sure get the quads pumping and rarely aggravates the knee. 2?? Rack Assisted SL Squat into TKE: This really assists in improving single leg squat control. Work into a TKE at the top range to further hammer the quad in inner range. A staple in the mid-early stage. 3?? Lying Leg Extension: A nice variation of the leg extension if you can set it up properly. Changing the hip flexion angle increases the length on the quad and at the end stage really helps to build some eccentric quad strength. 4?? Split Squat FFE: Control of the pelvis here is key. The focus is on the rear foot. Keep the trunk upright with a slow tempo on the eccentric and feel that quad cook. ?? 5?? Rack Assisted SL Squat Slant Board: When the knee is ready to tolerate it some heel elevated work is a great way to isolate the quads. The more we work the knee over the toe the demand on the quad increase. Using rack assistance allows you to really hit those outer range positions and get the quad strong in every range of motion. 6?? Skater Squat: A key end stage exercise. Ticks all of the boxes. If you can nail this on your injured side then you know you are in a really good position. What are your favourite quad exercises?
