My go to exercise for foot and ankle rehab! 🦶
Recent research shows that adding a forward lean or load to foot exercises increases intrinsic and extrinsic muscle activation.
This makes the forward lean calf raise a valuable exercise option with a host of benefits!

Increase robustness at tolerating the movement quality
Reduce risk of injury
Both from a rehab and injury reduction perspective
Why train footballers to brake?
⚽ Galiano et al.: decelerations occur up to 2.9× more often than accelerations; lower-limb muscle forces reach ~3–5× body weight. Eccentric work may improve resilience.

⚽️ Relationship between aerobic performance (AP) & match running ⚽
❗️⏫ AP measures were associated with YoYo IRLev 2 TD, HSR & HIR distances. Strongest predictors for TD were VO2max and AnT irrespective of playing position❗️

Medical emergencies in football require immediate, coordinated, and error‑free responses. @FIFAcom ’s Medical Set Piece framework applies the concept of rehearsed set plays to pitch‑side emergency care, ensuring medical teams follow structured, pre‑practised roles that minimise cognitive load and human error. To support global adoption, @FIFAMedical developed educational videos aligned with the FIFA Pre‑Match Emergency Action Plan (PEAP) to demonstrate best‑practice responses to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), the leading cause of sudden death in sport. The videos were created through a rigorous, multidisciplinary process informed by international resuscitation guidelines and underwent expert quality assurance. Their colour‑coded, role‑specific choreography standardises care from grassroots to elite levels. By reframing emergencies as rehearsed set pieces, we hop to promote preparation, precision, and teamwork, helping ensure rapid, consist

The mechanism that puts the hamstrings at risk may also be part of what makes us fast🤔

Working really hard behind the scenes since being back to get processes and systems back in place and to turn the injuries round - great to see the majority of these back on the pitch yesterday…
Into the hat we go 🥳
Don’t wait and then need the “Go fund me” page
Get this in place now in the hope you’ll never need it but you’ve security!
It’s bad enough being injured, but when it effects you financially it hits even harder and many of you on a non-contract basis won’t be looked after 🤷♂️
So another season starts….
Good luck to all my friends and colleagues starting their season tomorrow.
Wishing you nothing but success, a season of no injuries if you’re a player and a season of minimal injuries if you’re a therapist..
I’ll see many of you soon ⚽️

Advice for every young non-league footballer: Don’t commit to monthly payments that rely on football money. Form changes. Managers change. Clubs change. Injuries happen. Contracts end. That extra £100, £200 or whatever it may be a week can disappear quicker than you think. Live below your means, save while you’re earning, and make financial decisions that still make sense if football stopped tomorrow. Your talent gets you paid, but your financial discipline keeps you afloat.
No excuses to not have this in place non-league players… Get set up and covered before you need the go fund me page….
Non-league clubs take out for your players and stop from wages if needed - it’s literally pennies compared to what many are paying!!!
I like it and I think they’ll do well this season…
Get in line and do the work or don’t and find a club that demands less of you… 🤷♂️
🚨 INSIDE CARRINGTON: Michael Carrick is completely changing the culture at Manchester United.
During a tactical drill this week, a senior first-team player reportedly complained about the intensity of the continuous pressing triggers, suggesting the squad was being overworked before the Atlético Madrid match.
Carrick immediately blew his whistle, stopped the entire session, and gathered the squad.
He didn't shout. He just looked at the player and calmly said:
"If the standards of this football club are too exhausting for you, the exit gates are open. We are building a team that outworks everyone in the Premier League. If you can't run in July, you won't be on the pitch come May. Decide right now if you're in or out."
The squad went completely silent. The player apologized, and the intensity doubled for the rest of the session.
Carrick is absolutely not playing around. The elite mentality is finally returning to Old Trafford. 🔴
Are you backing Carrick's brutal new regime, or is he risking player burnout before the season even starts? 👇
