Injuries aren’t usually about the movement.
They’re about the dosage.

Yesterday, Evan laid down some wisdom around how injury is a part of athletic exploration. Today, Zach outlines some of the “whys” around injury.

Most injuries happen when the applied load exceeds the body’s ability to tolerate it.

And load isn’t just physical forces. It includes stress, sleep, recovery, and even emotional and psychological readiness.

That’s why movements often get unfairly labeled as “dangerous.”

Deadlifting isn’t the problem. Sprinting isn’t the problem. Throwing isn’t the problem.

The problem is usually too much, too soon—an overdose of load without the capacity to handle it.

Rehab isn’t about avoiding load.
It’s about rebuilding tolerance.

We manage symptoms, restore capacity, and then systematically bridge the gap between current ability and desired performance—so athletes can return stronger, not just symptom-free.

Coaches Corner with Evan Price 🏃‍♂️

Taking a break from Trivia Night content to share some coaching wisdom.

In endurance sports, injuries often get treated like a failure—bad form, bad training, bad decisions. But that story doesn’t actually help athletes move forward.

As both a physical therapist and endurance coach, Evan takes a different approach. Injuries aren’t something to demonize—they’re information. A moment to zoom out, understand the bigger picture, and rebuild smarter.

This year, we’re shifting the conversation. Less blame. More context. Better long-term outcomes for runners and endurance athletes at every level.

This is the first of many Coaches Corner conversations—where performance, rehab, and real-world coaching experience meet.

What’s an injury myth you’ve been told that never quite sat right with you?

Massage works better when it’s part of the team.

Georgia collaborates with PTs and coaches, watches athletes train, and uses what she sees in motion to guide her soft tissue work—so things get better, faster.

And a reminder:
Massage doesn’t require being fully undressed.
Working over clothing works.
Athletes—even teens—know their bodies.

This is collaborative, athlete-first care.
Not guesswork.

It was great having Ahmed in yesterday for a tune up session with Matt after he got back from the World Cross Country Champs in Tallahassee.

It’s awesome seeing Oregonians crushing it in the pros. Ahmed has seen a meteoric rise the past few years. West Salem high, Boise/FSU, and now running pro with the group.

Ahmed, looking forward to following along and helping out from here!

Youth athletes aren’t just small adults.

Kids’ bodies are still growing—and that matters when it comes to injury risk. During growth spurts, bones often take more stress than muscles and tendons can keep up with, which means pain that looks like a muscle or tendon issue may actually be a bone-related stress injury.

That’s why youth injuries need to be evaluated differently than adult injuries.

A few ways to help keep young athletes healthier:
• Build in rest days each week
• Avoid early sport specialization
• Limit big spikes in training volume
• Prioritize sleep and recovery
• Take pain seriously—especially during growth spurts

🚩 Red flags to get checked out:
– Pain localized to a bony area
– Limping or avoiding weight bearing
– Pain lasting more than 1–2 weeks
– Swelling without a clear injury
– New or “weird” pain after a growth spurt

Early evaluation can help prevent longer-term issues and get athletes back to sport safely.

If you’re concerned about a youth athlete, working with a sports physical therapist who understands growing bodies matters.
