Considerations For Fall Athletes During COVID-19

Justin:    Good Morning everybody. So happy Saturday of Memorial day weekend. I don't know if I hope I'm not alone in this cause then I'll be embarrassed, but I completely did not realize that Monday was Memorial day. and then all of a sudden it sort of hit me that, that it was so hopefully, everyone is having a good start to their Memorial day weekend minus the really, really big rainstorms out there.



John: That's all right. We can use it now. 



Ashley: Yesterday. Justin was watering the lawn here, and I'm like, it's gonna rain tomorrow. 



John: I kinda just put your hand in like basically like the Christmas vacation outfit with like the bunny slippers in the robe and a hat, just like waving the hose on the Lake 



Ashley: or on the tractor driving around the neighborhood.



John: Oh, okay. Yeah, that'll do it.



Ashley: Oh man. 



Justin: Watering the neighborhood or just. 



Ashley: I mean, he's doing everything around the neighborhood, so if anybody needs a tractor for hire, I'm pretty sure that we could do that.



Justin: I like it. Good. All right. Well we wanted to jump on really quick and talk this morning about some of the considerations that our fall athletes should rethinking about. John had written a blog post about this a couple of weeks ago and we're going to have a follow up coming soon. but we wanted to chat a little bit about some of the things.



I know there's a lot up in the air right now. Then there was an article the other day published about like what would have to happen if there was going to be false sports and, that was super entertaining. but I, 



John: and I don't even want to tell you what we've been hearing from some of the coaches from the colleges 



Ashley: H remark, like, just the stuff that we're hearing is remarkable.



Like. Screens in between lockers. 



John: That was the big one. So the teams can practice together and they can tackle each other, but in the locker room, they have to have plexiglass screens in between 



Ashley: players on a bench, even though they're going on the field when they come off, the field has to be masked and sitting six feet apart.



John: Yeah, 



Justin: I did see that one. Yeah, that was kind of interesting. I also saw something about, the people in the, Oh boy, what happened? Are we still good?



Ashley: Looks like we're still good. Unless it cut off. 



Justin: No. All right. I'm okay then. Okay. there we go. That's better. The, yeah, some of the, you know, some of that stuff is crazy. And then some of the rules about like, you know, disinfecting a ball if more than one person are going to touch it. I think pretty much we determined that golf had the best chance of occurring like normal.



other than that, I don't know. You know what, how they're going to manage all that 



John: stuff. Well, I know it obviously depends on, well the budgeting thing is going to be a nightmare, but like some of the German leagues for soccer, these things have been starting back up where they're placing just like a plethora of balls around the field so that you know, a player doesn't have to go into like, cause let's be honest, in soccer, aside from using your hands to fake an injury.



you know, we have to throw the ball in. So I guess it gives them an opportunity if it goes out of bounds. I grab a freshly sanitized one, and the one that just went out, that has a better type of clearing. so who knows? 



Justin: Yeah, it's, it's odd. But, you know, I think from our standpoint, right, the biggest thing that we, we want to be super concerned about is we are looking at, you know, as people get ready for this, right?

Modern Orthopedic Treatment Options

This week on Fitness With Feldman Justin, John and Ashley are joined by Dr. Justin Conway of Crystal Run Healthcare.  Dr. Conway specializes in primary care sports medicine, and non operative orthopedic treatments.  On this episode he explains the science behind Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments, stem cell injections, and Tenex treatment options.  We discuss the middle ground between physical therapy, and surgical options for patients.  Many patients believe that if they don't recover with physical therapy alone that surgery is their only other option.  Dr. Conway explains that there are a lot of options that he can provide that are minimally invasive and can help people heal without surgery.



If you have any questions let us know.

This week Justin, John and Ashley are joined by Jason Friedman to talk all things running.

Performance Anxiety



In this episode of Fitness With Feldman Justin is joined again by Vienna Costanzo and this week they are talking about performance anxiety.  This is something that we see in many athletes returning to sport after injury, but also in many athletes who have not been injured.  There are many factors that can create an environment that leads an athlete to feel anxious and nervous.
