Running healthy, running injury free

As coaches, we don't just coach movement, we repeatedly perform it. Looking after our feet is essential for long-term performance and career longevity.

Strength and Conditioning sessions involve a significant amount of demonstration, particularly during field conditioning drills. These repeated movements place considerable stress on the plantar fascia. Without regular stretching and mobility work, this can lead to irritation and the characteristic "needle-like" pain associated with #Plantarfasciitis.

Protect your feet before they become a problem. Make plantar fascia, calf, and ankle mobility exercises part of your daily routine, especially if you're a coach who spends hours demonstrating drills. Consistent stretching, strengthening, and proper recovery can help reduce the risk of injury and keep you performing at your best.
