After 12 years of dealing with chronic knee pain…
Here is a thread of what I understand to be the most important “first principles” of knee pain and how we can start to solve it.
For everyone, not only elite athletes (like myself ofc)

The next step of my journey will be with Coach Miller at the University of Texas. Extremely grateful for the opportunity and I can’t wait to pour into our student athletes the best I can to help them reach their goals on and off the court. Blessed beyond words! Hook’Em! 🤘🏽
Holy shit a guy just made a whole thread about how Derrick White is a nice guy. He is, but what is going on with this app

Wait til these dudes lifting find out that certain muscle holds you back from being faster and better in their sport

Any thought that is repeated becomes more powerful.
So the first step is noticing the thoughts that repeat themselves daily without conscious recognition.
Then audit. Then improve.

Restrictions in hip mobility are usually a compensation of an inactive core and a dysfunctional pelvis/rib cage alignment.
If your core isnt used properly, hip muscles have to ‘tighten’ to stabilize & protect.
Set the pelvis, stack the ribs, and incorporate better breathing

I see a dude in the gym doing shoulder rehab every morning. Religiously.
How do i tell him its more likely his rib cage/breathing mechanics?

Haha freal. The nba runs on chick fila and dunkin donuts.
But theres something to be said about finding balance once dudes hit their 30s. I think theres a lesson in there.
So many of you have no idea what elite athletes look like and act like
I can tell you they aren't obsessing as much over nutrition as you are
When I was in the MLB, the players had access to more than you can imagine
Chefs on site to make custom meals
Everyone got blood work and had custom supplement regimens individually
Athletes did sweat tests and had custom electrolytes drinks based on the results
We'd track their calorie expenditure during practice live with monitors
So much more
None of this can be mandated and every player has the right to say no
We had one pitcher refuse everything
Would walk in every morning with McDonald's, give the entire medical staff the bird
This player happened to have a World Series MVP and the most dominant performance that you'll ever see
All this to say you probably don't need to worry about those seed oils as much as you do

What movement in nature or in sport ignores your legs? Core? Breathing?
Why do we isolate these things in training sessions?

The goal of marriage is not to ‘win’ marriage, but to stay married.
The goal of business is not to ‘win’ business, but to stay in business.
The goal of your athletic career is not to ‘win’ your career (big picture), but to stay healthy and able to compete.
