The Athlete is an F1



- This is a theme to which I have since I struggle a lot in my life. In any professional field, you can not (or should not), drop to room. I have my own professional routines, like any other mortal. but as I mentioned before in other matters, that "a good professional is one who has the knowledge of their own limitations." So each step / task that my professional knowledge are required, always try their best to reduce my limitations, so with that attitude, consciously or "unconsciously," I do not fall into monotony professional.
As I speak from now on, the reader can only interpret what I refer to the soccer player, what is not true, just use the soccer athlete because it is an example to which I can speak with better knowledge of the facts. For respect and admire all the other sports.
- When I say that to me one athlete has to be considered as an F1, is a reality, because not only perform the examinations pre-season, etc ... Every workout sessions for individual work, play, the athlete must be heard by the accompanying clinical department in order to get the best athlete's own, as put down any symptoms at least good that he can report (as a pilot F1 does with his mechanics and other members of your team).Behind an athlete, this is a human being, not being professional has its physical wear, being professional, wear your turns out to be a large percentage too high, because the physical effort turns out to be every day. Often not controlled.
- Many trainers, training in Portugal to the "highest level", is often complain of physical fatigue of his team. If for example, have a game in the 4th or 5th Tuesday, and are playing the following Sunday, the coaches always comment the same: "the team had no time to recover" (something very heard in our country, which until now is found normal and no one says otherwise). What I criticize in this very lack of professionalism "in this field," it just shows how badly it works. I was able to work in a team of Spanish professional cycling, where "a" cyclist is 220km in one day, accomplish more the next day 180, 190, or 200 km, this sometimes 4 days or more followed. The Secrete, called WORK because at the end of each step cyclists are subject to an outstanding recovery work.
In our football at the highest level, 98% of the teams work as amateurs (with respect to recovery). For example, if the teams play at home at the end of the meeting is held only primary care, we take a shower, and ok, all ready to slip inside the cars and return to their homes because in most cases there is only returning to work in the afternoon the next day (rarely in the morning). It is clear that these procedures the recovery levels of athletes, are mediocre. Now do a good job of recovering athletes takes work, but also gives SUCCESS! How to remember the 190 and 220km of cyclists I spoke, on consecutive days, also remember to see the end of many meetings or substitutions, the soccer player (X) has 8 or 10km around the ninety-odd encounterminutes, and spent 3 or 4 days we have our coaches talking about athletes who have tired, because there was no recovery time. Ironic but true!
It is obvious that there are coaches who should occupy the entire recovery of their athletes, but the whole doctor who is behind the scenes. Because the team is not only coach and players, but your entire staff, technical and clinical. The success appears to work, and periodic maintenance / permanently from their F1. An athlete and physically, with all its contents upon the physical and emotional, is really another athlete.
- In many cases in our clubs, with the lack of monitoring athletes (some of them well known names in our football and Europe), and over time, the complaints of athletes appear with your clinical department. And in many cases, some professionals in the health field is no longer able to solve in a short time. What would be avoided if the monitoring was permanent. Who pays this invoice, is the athlete who faces a prolonged stoppage, damaging her career (in many cases), and through no fault of their own, but other actors involved or not, as you prefer!
In the sports area, the term applies in this area of ​​Physical Therapy Sports Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy not only (has to be for some reason, not by chance).

- In the next post here on the blog, I speak as one can see or control the fitness levels of athletes without great physical suffering. Same as F1 when we see and admire your performance and that every year we surprised everyone.

Possibly, many readers are commenting, this is nothing new. I answer, if it is not, why not apply?
