Not usually.

I'm not sure but I think you need to have a login ID to use youtube?

Hey Tom, the link wasn't working when you sent it to me via e-mail either...I plugged in your username in the search field and came up with your videos. Thanks for sharing them!

I think the stretch cord exercises can fit into the busy schedules of coaches and swimmers. You can add more or subtract some and as long as you start out easy and progress the sets to failure, you’ll get a training response. I think the fact that people associate shoulder problems with movement rather than the attack the real problem (lack of muscular balance / symmetry) is a good reason to do the shoulder exercises. A lot of teams are proactive and get a qualified physical therapist that evaluates muscular imbalance of each athlete and prescribes exercises to remedy it. Good luck and Merry Christmas The two most common elements in the world are hydrogen and stupidity.

Have mercy on us dialuppers (and busy ppl): One-minute videos, please! An 8-minute video is pretty long even with capability.

I've made some 4 minute videos but it's not as easy as it may seem. Sorry.

The two most common elements in the world are hydrogen and stupidity. Absolutely awesome! I never thought about getting a PT in here to work with our kids, but it's definitely something to think about and pursue! Thanks for the idea, Tom!

I talked to a coach (can't remember his name) who begins the season with an evalutation from an qualified athletic trainer. It sure sounds like a good idea. I've never tried it but I'm going to when my middle school swimmers start their season in late January. Good luck, Coach T.
