The 3 day event was a fantastic success and the sessions included a combination of seminars, practical workshops and live surgery! The list of presenters looked like the who's who of shoulder research including, Alex Castagna, Tim Uhl, Don Buford, Jo Gibson and Lennard Funk. I was the loan strength and conditioning coach in a room full of surgeons, medics and physiotherapists - I survived, even after this keeping this qoute in my presentation!
"Medical and health care professionals (surgeons, doctors, physiotherapists etc.) are experts at getting injured people healthy – they are not experts at training people!"
The message was well received and the feedback from the audience was very positive - many of whome left with a greater understanding of the role of the strength and conditioning coach in the rehabilitation process.
Many thanks to Lennard Funk for inviting me to such a fantastic event. I'll leave you with some words of wisdom from Don Buford's presentation on the overhead atheltes shoulder.
"Half of what we believe is wrong - the problem is we don't know which half!"
The take home message - keep on reading ensuring that you don't believe everything you read, or only read everything you believe!
