(Part 9pe of 11)
Because human logic is out of balance, and has been for thousands of years, it permeates all thinking in all areas of life.
The prevalence of a large amount of sports injuries is proof enough.
Each sport has a set of particular injuries that always seem to occur at high rates.
Our response is to claim we are using sports science, sports medicine, sports techniques, sports trainers, sports surgeries and sports whatever.
All of this is for the purpose of keeping athletes in the game or back to the game as soon as possible, without addressing the causes of the injury.
Because this topic has been addressed in “The Insult of Sports Injury, Maximizing & Sharecropping, Unity Consciousness #967,”
I will only list some of the most obvious reasons briefly.
1. Unrealistic goals of players, coaches, fans.
2. Seeking maximum performance instead of optimal.
3. Ignoring the body and trying to fight through the pain, tough it out, etc.
4. Ignoring the individual such that at all times, things are not adjusted and customized for a particular individual's makeup.
5. Treating athletes like singers. There's so many who want to be an athlete, so let's just use them up quickly and move on to the next. Sports is a business first and foremost at all level of sports.
6. Way too much emphasis on constant training and practice. Too much training and practice.
7. Too much emphasis on trying to turn every athlete into some sort of muscular titan.
8. Ignoring the simple fact that repetitive use, will produce injury when there is insufficient rest.
As usual, all problems in the adult world, make their way down to the child world. Injuries, repeat injuries and career-altering injuries among young athletes are occurring when they should not. This is the greater injury that insults the notion of being a humane society. Furthermore, many sports injuries are assaults. In what other profession are we required to just keep going. No instead, we take time off, personal days and call in sick, and it's okay. However, our failure to heed the signs of injury is the same thinking and behavior that is the same as Colony Collapse Disorder.
