More FMS with MU Mens Soccer

This past week during my internship I spent part of my time uploading the video I had taken of some fellow soccer players performing the 7 exercises and teaching a new fellow intern on how to use dartfish. For one day I sat and taught my new intern Kurt Kelly some of the basics on how use dartfish and all its features. I also explained to him the purpose of this internship and where Dr. Combs wanted us to take it. For the rest of the week I worked on using dartifsh analyzer to break down the film of the soccer players performing the 7 exercises so I could give them the proper evaluation. During my analysis of the players performing the tasks I noticed many had asymmetry and lack of mobility in their hips and knees. The highest of the scores that any of the players received was 17 out of 21. My next task or duty to do is film the corrective exercises for the players to do so they can fix their asymmetries and imbalances in their bodies. The purpose of doing this is to hopefully prevent any future injuries and once they are re-evaluated after a few weeks score higher on the test. Look forward to hearing about my results after re-evaluating the players! Kurt and I are hoping to get some of the baseball players involved in this since he is part of the team and will help spread the word around campus.
