💪 Push for better mental health 💪

I’m a massive believer that cricket clubs can hold the key to better mental health. Beyond the proven benefits of being physically active the social and emotional support benefits of being a part of a cricket club have the potential to be huge.

As stated in the video, I’m looking to raise awareness of the mental health issues (including within our sports clubs) and reduce the stigma of having meaningful conversations about our mental health.

If you’d like to join my team of push-up champions paste this link (or message for a direct link) - https://www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraisers/beenaboiz/the-push-up-challenge

Although raising money is not the primary aim of partaking in this challenge, you can donate to the cause if you wish to do so, at the same link as above.

Why is it so important to protect our young fast bowlers?

There are many factors which contribute to the particularly high rate of injury amongst young bowlers. All fast-bowlers face the risk of injury but why do we see so many teenage /early 20 year old quicks breaking down with lumbar spine related injuries?

All fast bowlers are susceptible to injury due to the forces at play during their delivery, combined with misalignment and inefficiencies in their bowling action or physical imbalances. However, the risks are increased for younger (under 25 y/o) bowlers due to their less developed bones.

The graphic above shows just how much our bones develop through our adolescent years. We start to hit our peak in our mid-late twenties, with significantly less bone density in our teen years.

These developing bones are then put under additional stress when we ser young bowlers exhibiting actions which go beyond the spine’s natural range of movement. Commonly we see Lateral Flexion well beyond the spines ROM and Counter Rotation.

Our upcoming free sessions for our Club Link partner look to identify bowlers demonstrating actions which place them at a particularly high risk as injury.
