Segment Two: Dr. Cole and Steve discuss the recent?AC Joint Sprain?suffered by Jimmy Garoppolo of the New England Patriots. Understanding the injury which can come from a direct blow and the decision to use injections vs. rest; getting the player back in the game without causing further injury.
The AC joint is made up of the clavicle (collarbone) and the acromion (what most refer
to as the shoulder-blade). You can run your finger out on your collarbone to your shoulder and hopefully appreciate the location of the joint. Structurally this joint is important for stability, but in the case of throwing, there are a few other stabilizers that can compensate for a short time. Functionally this joint is important, as the shoulder complex relies on the humerus and scapula being in synch; however?the AC joint should not be a major limiter to the throwing motion.
Segment Three:?Thomas Delaur, Executive Body and Business Coach talks with Dr. Cole and Steve about increasing?testosterone levels naturally; the importance of healthy fats in your diet;?Finding the Balance between Body, Brain, Business and Family; how to harness your skills in business to optimize your body. Tapping into the levels of discipline that make you successful in one aspect of life, and correlating them with other aspects of their life and business.
Work/Life Balance ??Re-imagined
We are constantly reminded of the work/life balance and how integral it is to a happy
life. But I know that as a top performer the idea of balance can be de-motivating. I encourage my clients to reestablish their view on balance as not something that forces them to bring their work ethic down to other avenues of their life, but to bring those other avenues UP to the levels of discipline and focus that they have in the best areas of their life. If you?re in business, you?re hard wired for optimization, we just have to tap into it? using health and performance as the platform.
