Are shoulder injuries caused solely by improper stroke mechanics? Can we avoid all pain using perfect technique? Can we throw away the ice pack forever? Or can shoulder pain be caused by other factors as well? Vote if you have an opinion.
Nor did I infer that 34 years of coaching trumps anything.
I don't think "infer" is the right word here. Perhaps you meant that you didn't mean to "imply" it? I hope not. It seemed kind of implied. As just one example (too tired to round them all up), I said "fly is hard on shoulders." You said, "in 34 years of coaching, I've seen no evidence fly is hard on shoulders." I'm taking Solar's advice, :bow: , and staying away from fly for a bit. I think I'll do fly drills instead. Gotta make sure I'm chest pressing.
