    Feel as if Friedman and Co. have a year for everyone, instead of just coming in and firing everyone they let it play out for a year to give a fairer analysis of everyone.

    Now, it seems as if it's gonna be time for them to really install who and what they want. Minor league coaches being fired, scouts, international people, now this (maybe Conte left on his own, but you gotta be skeptical)

    Conte probably did cool things we don't know about, since this job is one where you only bring up the position when shit goes bad

    But it also seems as if injuries would be played through that would get worse, and have cases of players who were let go cause of injury who ended up actually being fine (Tolleson and Russ)

    Hoping they hire someone really good, cause imagine what an edge it could be to have an edge in health

    Maybe it wasn't a firing, as he said he's leaving to work full time for some injury analytics firm or some shit, but you never know the full truth I guess

    Meh.... Trainers are all good, very good t this level. What is most important is an organization, from the top to the bottom which addresses healthy lifestyles and combines sports psychology. This is not just a dietary matter, but a true lifestyle and mentality which resonates throughout the organization. It sounds as if Kapler understands and is trying to implement just such a thing p, which can pay HUGE dividends down the road for us.

    Wish Stan the best,

    very true, the trainer can only do so much... And especially true if the goal is preventive instead of reactive intervention

    In this, it is mostly up to the player to do the necessary things to stay healthy...Getting adequate sleep, eating right, staying hydrated, listening to their bodies etc

    There arent many studies ive come across on hamstrings or other musculoskeletal soft tissue injury/rehab in particular (i checked the Cochrane library, medline, pubmed etc recently) so its not as if Stan was doing something completely unorthodox, whatever he was doing....I mean theres limited evidence that shows correcting muscle dysfunction is beneficial but at the end of the day these type of soft tissue injuries are going to occur at any time. So really the trainer just has to make sure the players are doing the right things when not at the facilities and properly assess when it is okay for a player to return to action--at a time where chances of re-aggravation are low
