It's not about being professional or knowing what to do for 10 or 20 years.
As we age, our bodies change. Doing the same thing to warm-up every day can be harmful to a 32 year old and still good for a 25 year old. Conditioning coaches have to be as much psychologists as physical educators and physical therapists. The egos of major leaguers sometimes prevents good communication and buy-in from the players. I did the same workout at 40 that I did at 25. I was in the best shape of my life. Sub 9% body fat almost dangerously low. Strength was very high. Then .... Ruptured disc and four more herniated discs. My workout changed 100% after PT. All core now. No upper body. Wakefield would not be able to pitch at all today if he did not change his workout to accommodate his similar back issues. As Youk and others approach 30, they'll begin to feel tweaks in their groins and hamstrings that they never felt earlier. They'll need to adapt their workouts. As they get over 30, they'll have Achilles and calf problems. If they are doing steroids, then they'll have bicep, pectoral, and lat issues if they don't adapt their stretching and warm-ups. You give them way too much credit as major leaguers. They're sometimes dumb, obstinate guys who fake the stretching because they don't envision something happening to them...until it does. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Salemi Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 10:26 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Ronan Tynan I agree on the conditioning coach.

I think these athletes have figured out how to keep their bodies going at this level. They've been playing every day for 10-20 years. They know what to do about stretching. I just think we've hit a string of bad luck. Bad luck and Adrien Beltre.
