    The other side to the "Multi-Sport Athlete"

    Santa... that is awesome and kuddos to you for being able to provide those opportunities. For the argument of multi sport athletes vs single specialization.... Double edged sword for sure. There is some decent research out there suggesting that multi sport athletes have less overuse injuries...

    Elbow Hypermobility

    Start with finding a good PCP that will take the time to do a genetic work up. Typically the big pediatric hospital is a good place to start. Could be Ehlers Danlos or any other connective tissue disorder or could be a non pathological connective tissue process. Will it cause problems in sports...

    Colorado tournaments

    My daughter played in both, I felt like the Boulder IDT had better competition in the 14 and 18U division, but the fireworks power pool in the 16U division was better.

    Tfcc tear

    Yes, that is the complete ulnar sided tear version. I fix them using the arthrex ulnar tunnel method. My patients return to full activity at 8 weeks. Having some restriction of motion, soreness, and weakness for 3-4 months isn’t abnormal, but I let my athletes play through it since the tfcc...

    Tfcc tear

    I teach other surgeons how to fix these. I probably operate on 60-70 TFCCs every year. In young athletes it’s important to know where the tear is and is it complete or not. After an exam and an MRI arthrogram, I’m pretty certain on the path that needs to be taken. Like a meniscus the TFCC has...

    Ulnar nerve translocation surgery

    All good information. I am not there but based on the additional information that you have given me, I would be most likely be recommending surgery. A confirmatory NCV/EMG for cubital tunnel would be all I would need to see after the history and a matching exam. A steroid injection wouldn’t be...

    Ulnar nerve translocation surgery

    A lot to unpack with this information/ question. Just so you know, I am hand and upper extremity fellowship trained board certified orthopedic surgeon that is a member of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. I do about 300 ulnar nerve surgeries a year, mostly in situ releases and some...

    Flosoft ranking the 2021 class

    Just wanted to get the opinions of those on the forum in regards to the player (and team) rankings at Flosoft.com. They are currently doing the 2021 (just finished 8th grade) class. I know a few of the players on the list and they are really really good, but I wonder about how impossible of a...

    Scientific study on pitching in tournament

    This study is a level 3 study. It isn't meant to create recommendations only prove the hypothesis that pitchers get more sore and tired after pitching multiple games. It may seem intuitive that this would happen, but this design is to open the study to a larger level 2 (or possibly level 1 if...

    Need help with USSSA forced move

    I'm in KS also, and I own a complex that runs USSSA. PM me and if your close enough, I'll make sure you have some Open tourneys with A/B rules.

    Need help with USSSA forced move

    Are they all '07's? If so register 9U open. If you have some '06's, you can email your state director and plead your case. You will probably do well in that regard if you can show how it affects your team for State and Nationals (like we will have to do TCS or ASA state/nationals because of...

    question on using the pocket radar (newbie)

    That is some serious service after the sale. I'm going to buy one tomorrow. Kudos to you and your company.

    minor chondomalacia

    So, Chondromalacia is a weakening and in some cases loss of cartilage (the cushion) in certain areas. In young girls as their hips widen, it changes the angle of force across the knee (the angle of the quad tendon to the anatomical axis of the knee). This is called the Q angle. As the Q angle...

    Hitting Clinc - Coach Glasco

    Coach Glasco came to my indoor facility and put on a camp. Simply put, it was the best, most informative camp I had ever seen. The use of video and live swing models for the coaches and players was truly amazing. I can't wait to get him back next year.

    Exit Velocity/Launch Angle ????

    My indoor facility has a hit trax machine, and we have been fortunate enough to have Lauren Chamberlain, Amanda Chidester, and Sam Fischer all hit off of it. They are all ridiculously powerful hitters with exit speeds in the 70's with the highest at 78 mph exit velocity. The longest homeruns...

    Catcher Quarterback

    My daughter is the primary catcher for a Midwest 13U team. Today we were discussing the best way to communicate certain defensive moves pitch out/pick off plays or a throw down/ cut-off play with runners on the corners, ect. I was wondering what everyone else has either seen, or done that they...

    10U pitch speed

    I'm curious as to what some of you would consider "fast" , "above average", "average", and slow for most 10U pitchers? I know speed isn't everything, but I'd like to hear from those with a lot of experience out there what they would consider in the above category.
