So I stopped playing baseball my senior year of high school, which is about five years ago now. And I've been dealing with shoulder impingement ever since my junior year. So six years I've had shoulder impingement. I've been going to physical therapists. There's not a whole lot that people have been able to do about it. So it's been a very painful thing I've dealt with off and on for six years. But the way you can prevent that is doing exercises with resistance bands, just to build up the muscles in the rotator cuff, just to prevent injuries like that.

Injury prevention, definitely something like to take care of like off the field. So like you stretching into your warmups and things like that. But I feel like especially when I was younger, that's like all that I did. I wasn't doing any extra stretching at home. I wasn't like trying to stay loose. Like I was like, play as hard as I can stretch a little bit play as hard as I can stretch a little bit and that just like was not good. So eat ice and heat stretching, warm hot tubs, cold showers and baths like stuff, keep inflammation down, good diet. Stay loose. I think there's kind of this like, you know, like, don't don't pull me like that kind of like sports mentality where it's like, Hey, your shoulders are totally torn up. You've pitched seven of the nine innings. It's like, No, I can go more. I can go more. And it's like, sometimes the best call for you is just listen to your coaches and get out of the game. And you will be able to play more that way. And you'll be happier.
