2 Must Watch Videos

As a music teacher I have been tasked with helping people face many challenges along the way. Some of those challenges are purely musical such as learning a difficult song for a performance… maybe working for a few months preparing for a big college audition and so on. Among the other things I’ve done a lot of is helping people who haven’t played their instrument in a while. Now, this might be because of being busy or just not having music as their priority and some times I’ve had to deal with people who have been injured or are recovering from say a cosmetic surgery or something like that.

For some, the toughest part about this time off is the physical aspect… the speed just isn’t there, or the power has lowered in some cases, etc. For others, the mental aspect is what’s the most challenging, and I know you’ve heard people talk about how that’s true when it comes to injuries for footballers as well.

Not a day goes by when I don’t think about the players dealing with ACL injuries. Not only because I care about them and their feelings, but because I also often think about how difficult it must be dealing with the mental side of it.

I was thinking about the whole “we need more research” tweets and all of that and I remembered that I had recently watched 2 fantastic videos which I wanted to share and I encourage you all to watch them in full if you haven’t done so already.

The first one is hosted by the incredible Caroline Barker as part of her Three Players & A Podcast show which you can watch HERE (ideally you should see the video right underneath this paragraph but for some reason the embedding is not working)
