Back Pain and Basketball

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 22:57:54 +0000

I recently trained a young man who had been suffering from back stiffness and shooting pains going down his leg and settling in his back. He had been suffering from these pains for about 6 months. Before you start doing advance complex movements like deadlifts for basketball, we recommend you start with great instruction on form. We shut down his workouts and I referred him to the team at Pro Care Spine. Pro Care Spine is an integrated medical clinic offering MDs, Chiropractic Care, Physical Therapy, and Therapeutic massage. My student was pain free one week later and Dr. Ian Jones was kind enough to outline a regimen of care and caution that got us back to work. Dr. Neil Boecking is a former hoops player and CEO Brent Boecking still has love for the game despite ankle issues that don’t permit him to play any longer. The young man we all worked on is now working with personal trainer Rusty Kutzer to develop muscular balance and build his core and lumbar strength. Rusty has a degree in kineseology as well as the top certifications in his field. Rusty is a great hoops player in his own right.

Allen Iverson Cross Over Dribble

Austin Youth Basketball caught this video of Ganon Baker demonstrating the Allen Iverson crossover dribble. Be careful not to carry on this move. Try to keep the ball below the shoulder. This can be a challenge when follwing the great direction of Ganon regarding getting low. Perfect this dribble at our guard summer camp or in a private training.

Dear Mr. Chris Corbett,

I have returned to Israel after my wide and encompassing professional tour of the leading organizations and universities in the sports and recreation discipline in the United States. My visit with you, your guidance, hosting, and escorting contributed to a large extent and provided me with an important organizational and professional perspective that aided me a great deal in my position. I thank you very much for this and hope to host you in return in the sports centers that are managed here in Israel.

Thank you and best regards,

Dr. Kuty Meridan, PhD
Director General
The Cosell Association for Physical Education,
Leisure and Health Promotion
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Note from Chris: Edwina Brown really deserves this thank you note. Dr. Meridian was slightly delayed and Edwina was kind enough to act as an American diplomat because I had promised my daughters a bed time story.
