Derrick Rose Tears ACL- Is Improper Exercise and Movement to Blame

Derrick Rose ACL Tear- Many factors go into suffering an injury such as the injury Derrick Rose suffered today against the 76ers. On this blog, I cover topics related to fat loss and exercise, and I believe Rose's injury has a lot to do with how he moves.

I also have a basketball blog, and I figured this topic would be more relevant there, so, if you are interested in learning about the mechanism behind the Rose injury, please follow this link.

Lower Body Coaching Cues: "Tripod Foot" or "Drive Through the Heel"?

Recently I became involved in co-authoring a coaching course that fitness business owners will be able to use to streamline the training of any coaches that they hire. I also recently just performed a training assessment and am teaching someone how to squat and deadlift, something I haven't done for several months.

All this recent work on the fitness side of the fitness industry (rather than the business side) has inspired me to write a blog post. I haven't posted a fitness blog post since my latest book. This is simply because I haven't done any training since then, and I didn't want to post anything that was purely theoretical without any basis in reality.

However, in teaching this new "client" (I'm doing this for fun; I'm not charging her) how to squat and deadlift, I had a little "aha" moment that I wanted to share.
