SUP CONDITIONING - how to prevent and deal with most common SUP injuries

SUP CONDITIONING – how to prevent and deal with most common SUP injuries

Sooner or later most athletes will face the diversity of dealing with injuries. In the sport of SUP, we are experiencing athletes dealing with many of the same type of injuries and often athletes aren’t thinking about injuries before they happen.  Therefore this topic will focus on both the prevention of injuries and rehabilitation post-injury. With this topic  we hope to give SUP coaches a better understanding of the mechanisms that are at play when it comes to both prevention and rehabilitation

Among other subjects, it will touch on:

• A better understanding of the most common SUP related injuries: how to prevent and deal with them
• Conditioning to help prevent most common injuries related to SUP
• How to incorporate injury prevention into athletes training regime
• How do you best support your athletes through an injury process
• Helping your athletes structure a proper plan for rehabilitation
• What mental mechanisms are at play, when athletes go through a rehabilitation process?

It will be a mix of presentation, workshops and dialogue, so you’re expected to participate actively.
