This week in ISM is potentially the most exciting week I have had to date! It started with my mentor visit on Wednesday, when Rachel and I made some huge progress towards developing my warm up. She and I brainstormed a bunch of dynamic movements and drills that I think would be great to incorporate into my final product. I spent a couple of hours later on that night further researching the drills we discussed and their benefits. I also looked into the benefits of a cool down, considering that we typically go straight from high intensity playing to sitting for 30 minutes straight while JV plays. I figure we could be using that time for injury prevention. But the coolest part of the week is that Rachel has a friend who is a head physical therapist for the US National Team, and she gave her a call and asked if she would be able to help me out and offer me some advice and she said yes (if not ehr directly than one of the other head physical therapists she works with)! This is huge and I’m so excited to learn from a professional at that level. I am so excited for this next week in ISM!
