Forget the Damn Yankees

Forget the Yankees; hamstring injuries are surprisingly prevalent across sports. I am convinced is really not what teams are not doing; it is what they are doing. Way too much running on the treadmill, inadequate warm-up, too much stretching and not enough active warm-up not movement prep. Misunderstanding of running mechanics coupled with a lack of sprinting outside the actual game. You must prepare to go all out by actually sprinting in preparation for the game. Also too much biking for pitchers, you must get your feet on the ground. Actually too much hamstring strengthening, not enough work on linking ankle, knee & hip. For more on the whole Hamstring issue see the web page www.gambetta.com/resources there is an article by Dean Benton and I that offers some solutions. This hamstring issue is symptomatic of a much larger problem.
