Shin Pain in a Senior Cross Country Runner

Shin pain is one of the most common early-season injuries in cross country runners, and one of the most misunderstood. For Justine, a senior state contender with college commitments on the line, the pain felt frightening and relentless. This PPC Lab injury story breaks down why vague labels like “shin splints” create fear instead of solutions, how ankle mobility and anterior lower-leg mechanics often drive the problem, and why smart modification—not shutdown—can save an entire season....

I almost quit coaching soccer.

Not because of the kids.
Not because of the game.

Because the stress was killing the joy.

So I stopped trying to do more drills, more yelling, more “perfect soccer”…
and started thinking differently about how kids actually learn the game and what a coach’s real job is.

It changed everything.
Better decisions. Faster growth.
And coaching became fun again.

I wrote this book for the coach who cares but feels fried.

As I’m finishing up my book,

Coaching Youth Soccer Without Losing Your Mind,

I wanted to share one more piece before it officially comes out.

This one’s just for the coaches.

https://sportsdocdc.com/quad-soccer/

Over the years, there’s one game I keep coming back to when practices feel stale, kids are checked out, or the team just needs something different. It brings the fun back, teaches a ton without over-coaching, and honestly reminds you why you signed up to coach in the first place.

Quad Soccer.

It’s simple.
It’s chaotic in the right way.
And it teaches spacing, awareness, offense, and defense better than almost anything else I’ve used.

Think of this as a small freebie for youth coaches looking to shake things up and enjoy practice again.

The book is in its final stages now and should be out within the next five days.

Why Pro Athletes Heal Faster: Terminology Matters More Than You Think

The fastest way to influence an athlete’s recovery isn’t the technique, the equipment, or the protocol. It’s the words you choose....

Yo! My own kid’s getting the shout out.

Anyone college coaches out there looking for their next 6’6” 3/4 flex… I know a guy. (X )

Super proud of my kids. I love seeing them get to enjoy some success for all their hard work.

Daily, as a clinician, I am asked, “can you show me a stretch for this?”

Look. No. There is a better way.

The “warm-up” isn’t boring because athletes don’t care — it’s boring because the term is outdated. Modern training isn’t about killing time before the “real work.” It’s about unlocking movement, ac…

Hey everyone — I wanted to put an idea out there and see if there’s interest.

I’m working on a 60–90 minute, in-person workshop for youth soccer coaches, especially new coaches and parent-coaches in their first few years who were “volun-told” and are doing their best.

Anyone involved in youth soccer would get something out of it, but this is really built to help people early in the coaching journey.

The session is based on ideas from a book I’m finishing now — but to be clear, there’s nothing to buy. The book isn’t even out yet.

This would just be me sharing what I’ve learned, what worked, what didn’t, and the things I wish someone had told me when I started coaching.

It’s not tactics or drills. It’s about coaching youth soccer without losing your mind — keeping it fun, simplifying practices, and helping coaches progress forward without burning out or overcomplicating things.

It would be 60–90 minutes, cost $35, and I’ll move forward if we can get at least 10 coaches committed, since I’d be driving up from Corpus Christi and working around my own kids’ teams and schedule.

My goal is simple:
I think there’s a better experience available for youth coaches than what a lot of us went through, and I’d love to share that locally first.

If this sounds useful, drop a comment or send me a message. If there’s enough interest, I’ll lock in a date and location.

No pressure — just seeing if this would help.

🚀 To the high school athlete trying to earn the next level…
…and the college athlete already living it…

There’s a part of sports nobody warns you about:

The better you get, the price goes up.
More expectations. More pressure. More travel. More stress. More eyes on you.
And when things get hard, it’s easy to think:

“Maybe I’m not built for this.”

You are.

That pressure isn’t a sign you’re failing…
It’s a sign you’re entering a new tier.

I wrote this as a reminder for athletes who want more

and for athletes who are in the middle of it right now:

👉 “Athlete Tax”

If you’re serious about the next level, this will hit home.
