ACL tears are a disgrace Every club, physio, and doctor will say that this kind of injury is simply bad luck. They'll tell you it's unfortunate. Lazy excuses... The harsh reality is they are now injured for at least 9 months, and their lives are forever changed. Let's talk about the truth: ACL injuries are not random. Hundreds of thousands of other footballers around the world execute the same exact movements and DO NOT tear the anterior cruciate ligament. In fact Louie Copley or Rodrygo I'm sure have executed the same movements before themselves and didn't tear their ACL. So why now and why them? There's many factors: Poor sleep leading to decreased neuromuscular coordination Low electron flow leading to slower stabilizer response Metabolic dysfunction leading to lower tendon performance Poor nutritient intake leading to lower hormone levels But we're going to focus on the training for now% An ACL tear occurs when the shin bone and thigh bone go different directions, put simply. So if your biomechanics are off, then you are at a higher risk of injury. That is fact. Even moreso at high speed. So for example if the ankle collapses, this causes the knee to cave in and your shin bone doesn't come along for the ride → ACL tear How to stop this? First you need to fix the feet so that you can pivot properly off the hall of the fant ae you try to change direction. That means the toes, knee and hip should all be able stay in the same angle and pivot off the ball of the foot internally and externally. And the only way to make these connections is something called fascia. This web-like spongy tissue that wraps around all your muscles, bones, and organs creates tensional integrity in the body. So what's next for Louie? Fix your feet, become fascially integrated and fix your biomechanics to rebuild your athleticism from the ground up. #arsenalfc #acltear #soccertiktok #PremierLeague #injury - @totalfootballers
