Houghtelling Story:
The journey that this young lady has been down with her injuries, is one that is gone down by many, and many more to come if coaching staffs do not make the necessary adjustments in training and play.
Shoulders are serious business, torn Librium's and rotator cuffs are a common day occurrence seemingly now in womans volleyball. Might I add, that many times with the proper care and training it can be avoided. Librium tears many times are caused from overuse...
Talking with some very formidable orthopedics, it is of the up most impotence, with the level of play that players are now undergoing for the coaches and trainers to be fully aware of what might and will happen without proper care and not overuse.
You would never see a college or major league pitcher, throwing over 120 pitches during any given game, and to start off the season they are on a pitch count of 60 to 70 pitches. They throw a Bullpen every other day of only 60 pitches, and if they have the correct training do stretching exercises of the other muscles to help insure as much protection for the Librium as possible, to protect them from serious injuries, such as Houghtellings and others.
I know this information is starting to slowly get to some of the coaches, as they are bringing themselves up to speed, however if you think about how many swings the girls take, at tournaments, practices, etc...then you can certainly understand why such injuries are happening.
In all reality, all coaches should be looking at these injuries a lot harder, so they can help to prevent as many as possible.
I am not saying that the coaches are aware, and letting it happen anyway, I am just saying that in this time of the information highway, they should be getting on board with new program's, having swing counts. Icing after every workout and game for those that take alot of swings to help prevent the swelling which aids in the weakening of the area. Cool down exerises, and building exersising with bands and plyo's.
Every coaching staff should be bringing themselves up to date, not living in the dark ages, as still a few are.
