Learn “Everything Elbow” and Support a Great Charity

Written on July 14, 2011 at 8:43 am, by Eric Cressey

Every Wednesday morning at Cressey Performance, we have a staff in-service.  It’s an awesome chance for our staff and interns to exchange ideas, introduce new topics, standardize coaching cues, and explain strength and conditioning program design strategies.  Yesterday, I presented on the elbow – and we decided to video it, as not all our staff members could be there.

Not to toot my own horn, but it came out really well.  The elbow is right in my “wheelhouse,” so when I get going on it, things seem to just roll off my tongue.  The end result was a 32-minute in-service where I didn’t use any notes, but covered everything from functional anatomy, to injuries, to injury mechanisms, to strength training program modifications.  There are valuable lessons for both those in the baseball world as well as those who don’t have any interest in baseball.  With that in mind, I decided to put it up for sale today, as I feel strongly that the elbow is a topic that doesn’t receive a lot of attention in spite of its importance.

It just so happens that this week is the all-star break, and Cressey Performance athlete Kevin Youkilis just played in his third all-star game – and I thought I’d tie in this “mini” product launch with that them.

You see, several years ago, Kevin founded a charity, Youk’s Kids, that does some tremendous things for children in need. It supports at-risk youth at the Italian Home for Children located in Jamaica Plain, critically ill children at Josh Cares in Kevin’s hometown of Cincinnati, as well as Youk’s Kids own Athletes for Heroes program.  Athletes for Heroes supports the unmet needs of children who have had a parent killed or severely injured in the line of duty.  Youk’s Kids mission is to create a community of support, increase awareness, and advocate for the health and well-being of children in need throughout Red Sox Nation and beyond.

Given that the launch is somewhat spontaneous and coincides with Youk’s all-star selection – and because this is an awesome charity I’m always thrilled to support – it seemed only fitting to release this elbow in-service with a charitable emphasis.

With that in mind, half of all proceeds from sales of this mini-seminar will go directly to Youk’s Kids.  You’ll be able to immediately access and view the seminar online following your purchase, and in the process, you’ll learn a ton about a commonly overlooked joint while helping out an awesome charity in its efforts to support kids in need.

   Thanks for the video. It’s amazing the amount of information you give in only 30 mins. And to help with Youk’s Kid’s made this purchase a no brainer.
