Sprinting for hamstring resilience — If regularly ending up... with hamstring tweaks and pulls during practices and competitions, there’s a chance it’s due to lack of task readiness. Try to hit >95% max velocity a handful of times each week to reduce risk of injury.show more

Do more hill sprints. Hamstring strains are the #1... injury in contact sports and its one of the biggest reasons athletes never develop one of the most valuable qualities in sport - Speed. Hill sprinting is a smart way to reintroduce high-speed running if you’re cautious about hamstring injuries. The incline naturally shortens stride length and reduces peak hamstring strain compared to flat sprinting. Yes — nothing replaces flat max-velocity sprinting. But you have to be conditioned for it. Hill sprints help bridge that gap, building speed exposure while managing risk. Credit to @horton_barbell (unbelievable facility) and STATSports for the clipsshow more

Horrific luck for Luke Metcalf who won’t return after... suffering a right hamstring injury. Rare goalkicking mechanism now seen twice in two weeks (after Ashton Ward in Round 23). Metcalf also has an extensive hamstring injury history - earlier this season a left hamstring injury cost him 6 weeks, and in 2023 right and left hamstring injuries both cost him 6+ weeks. A best case minor strain would usually be a 2-4 week return, but considering Metcalf’s history wouldn’t be surprised to see the Warriors be conservative with his return date.show more
