Is this one of these cases where tax-payer money could have been prioritized better or is there a legitimate case for this type of content?

- padolsey 4y agoProbably good for rehab after injuries.
- jbuhbjlnjbn 4y agoI highly doubt this has any benefit. I'm leaning towards enriching themselfes on tax money as well.
- jbuhbjlnjbn 4y agoHow could this be used for rehab? Just curious what you have in mind.
- candu 4y agoAs someone who coaches a local amateur sports club: at our level, the main reason to learn proper biomechanics is to reduce risk of injury. (At a higher level, it's also useful for getting those small advantages in effective reaction speed and positioning.) Changes in direction are a really, really, really common cause of knee, ankle, and foot injuries. There's a _lot_ of force on fragile joints when you turn, dodge, fake out, etc. at speed - and especially for occasional / amateur athletes, who often don't have a high base level of strength and mobility. It looks silly, but I'd rather our players look silly than tear ACLs or rupture Achilles tendons. (Plus in Canada, those tears and ruptures also cost taxpayer money - a whole lot more of it than making a quick video!)
