What if injuries aren't inevitable, but predictable events with upstream warning signs we can actually address? Henry Abbott, award-winning journalist and founder of True Hoop, joins us to discuss his groundbreaking book "Ballistic: The New Science of Injury-Free Athletic Performance" that challenges everything we thought we knew about athletic durability.Abbott shares fascinating insights from his research at P3 (Peak Performance Project), where cutting-edge biomechanics analysis is revolutionizing how athletes train. Most surprisingly, he reveals how mental limitations often precede physical ones. Through a remarkable personal anecdote about holding his breath for over four minutes after minimal instruction, Abbott demonstrates how our brains frequently create barriers our bodies haven't actually reached.For runners specifically, Abbott provides practical wisdom on proper landing mechanics, identifying injury risk factors, and strengthening the often-neglected muscles beneath the knee that create efficient "bouncy" movement. Rather than obsessing over form while running, he suggests building capability through targeted training, then allowing your body to naturally implement improvements.In the Race Report Spotlight, we hear from 11 runners across four countries who completed the London Marathon. They share their experiences with punishing heat and incredible crowd support. They also describe the emotional highs of crossing Tower Bridge and finishing near Buckingham Palace. Their stories capture both the challenge and the magic of completing a World Major Marathon. Whether you're battling recurring injuries, seeking performance improvements, or simply wanting to run with less pain, this episode offers invaluable insights that might just transform your relationship with running.

I'm pleased to welcome Henry Abbott, the author of a new book called Ballistic: The New Science of Injury Free Athletic Performance! What an interesting conversation we had, and we went on a wide ranging journey through several topics of interest in modern big time sports. Henry has a longtime sports background–he is an award-winning journalist who led ESPN’s 60 person NBA digital and print team. So he is a longtime NBA guy behind the scenes, and in this episode, he tells us what it's like out there, touching on concerns like this crazy long 82 game season where we expect these powerful, explosive athletes to perform night after night—this kind of turns the sport into a severe long endurance grind where you can pretty much predict the athletes are going to get injured. So Henry went on a three year long quest to determine what cutting edge scientific advancements we have to measure and program athletes to train properly to prevent injury. The title Ballistic is interesting because he focuses on the importance of ballistic high impact training, which we typically shy away from, thinking that it's too traumatizing. I really appreciated this because you've probably heard me on the show talk often about my nagging minor injuries that are always a battle and a challenge as I strive to compete in masters track and field. So you're going to get some good tidbits and also learn what the top of the line athletes are doing—he references his connection to this training facility in Santa Barbara, California called P3, it's operated by an old triathlon friend of mine named Dr. Marcus Elliott, and he is doing some really interesting data collection and analysis. You will learn why Henry says that almost everyone has some sort of hip dysfunction, whether it's hip flexor weakness or a lack of mobility, and ways that you can progress to become more functional, especially in the three most important joints that control impact forces—the ankle, knee, and the hip. Enjoy this fun and wide ranging talk with Henry Abbott, and I highly recommend you read his book Ballistic, the New Science of Injury, Free Athletic Performance, which reveals a surprising takeaway: The explosive moves and ground impacts we often avoid in everyday workouts might provide the secret to an injury-free athletic life. TIMESTAMPS: The three most important joints that control impact forces are the ankle, knee and the hip. So how do we best take care of them? [03:01] The popularity of Track and Field is still struggling in comparison to other major sports. [05:00] What is it like to cover the NBA? What about the players being prone to injury? [08:09] Eighty-two games are too much for the players. Humans can't do more than five max effort workouts every two weeks before their performance declines and injuries skyrocket. [10:43] Are the players, trainers and coaches doing their best to prevent injuries? What is P3 in Santa Barbara? [12:12] In the book, Ballistic, Henry explains about the force at the moment of landing. [16:42] One of the most dangerous foot positions that a player can encounter is a toes-down landing. [20:11] We want the lower body to be loose, mobile, and flexible but we also want some areas stiff. How does it all come together? [25:01] Injuries occur when you come back down to earth, not by jumping up. It's the impact of landing. [28:17] You need to learn how to jump properly to prevent injury. [31:55] The WHO says immobility is the fourth leading cause of a global death. [35:23] Every athlete needs help with their hips. [36:17] Henry talks about dirty money and sports. There can be an adverse influence on sports. [43:09] What really makes a champion athlete is the work ethic, resilience, family-oriented, well-blanced lifestyle. [51:18] Is there any financial incentive in modern day NBA players to continue since they get so money? [56:31] Henry's book Ballistic talks about caring for your body...paying attention to it to prevent injuries, but also use your body to have fun.

@1QLeadership Question: Are athlete injuries predictable? Henry Abbott, Founder of TrueHoop, discusses his new book "Ballistic" which follows the story of Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project (P3). Abbott talks about how Dr. Elliott's research is being used by NBA athletes to prevent injury. Similar to the way biomarkers are used to inform of possible cardiac emergencies, P3 has developed a way to process data about body movement that can detect an impending athlete injury.  Abbott also goes into the importance of storytelling and its impact on the world of sports. - One Question Leadership Podcast - Tai M. Brown

In this conversation, Henry Abbott discusses his transition from sports media to writing a book on injury prevention, "Ballistic: The New Science of Injury-Free Athletic Performance." Blending cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, award-winning data journalist and competitive amateur athlete Henry Abbott reveals that we are on the cusp of a new era in sports medicine, built around the science of ballistic movements―leaping and landing―and the unique fingerprint of your body's physics. Abbott's inspiring narrative tells the story of sports scientist Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project (P3), who use technology to study how athletes move and why they get hurt. Applying machine learning and lessons from biomechanics, medicine, and physiology, doctors at P3 can now detect elevated risk of an ACL tear or a pulled hamstring like an echocardiogram can see warning signs of a heart attack. Their data-driven findings are full of surprises. Your body's most important defense against knee and ankle injuries are the little-known muscles in the lower leg and hip area, which typical workouts rarely target. Similarly, the glutes―not the core―do the most to prevent back pain. Transformative benefits flow from training underappreciated kinds of athleticism like rotation, deceleration, and relaxation. Most of all, science shows that the best athletes don't avoid ballistics―they master them. Through riveting stories of elite athletes overcoming injuries and pushing themselves to the limit, Abbott presents an evidence-based case for intervening early to protect our bodies. And he suggests that we can all harness the science of ballistic movement not just to run fast or jump high but to move with joy and lead fulfilling athletic lives.

After dropping the first three games in the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics have stormed back to force Game 6 against the Miami Heat (Saturday night).Here are my thoughts on Boston's resurgence, staying present and not getting ahead of ourselves in life. In the middle of this episode, I read an excerpt from David Hollander's riveting book "How Basketball Can Save the World: Thirteen Guiding Principles for Reimagining What's Possible" by David Hollander. I read from the chapter "Basketball as Human Alchemy"Openingmusic: Digable Planets "Rebirth of Slick," 1993clip: Monty Python and the Holy Grail "I'm Not Dead Yet"(09:35-15:30)excerpt from Professor David Hollander's book, "How Basketball Can Save the World: Thirteen Guiding Principles for Reimagining What's Possible" by David Hollander. On Basketball as Human Alchemy."Basketball's human alchemy is an advanced concept like the brain's neuroplasticity. When, like basketball, we are thrown together with the right people and meet the right circumstances and conditions, everyone becomes their new and better selves." Boston, Miami and Denver - NBA Playoffs - teams displaying that alchemy, connectedness and trust.

La máscara de plata (The Silver Mask) es un relato de terror del escritor británico Hugh Walpole (1884-1941), publicado originalmente en la antología de 1933: La Noche de Todos los Santos (All Souls' Night), y luego reeditado en numerosas colecciones; entre ellas: Un siglo de historias de terror (A Century Of Horror Stories) y Ejes del miedo (Shafts of Fear). La máscara de plata, uno de los mejores cuentos de Hugh Walpole, relata la historia de Sonia Herries, una mujer fuerte e independiente que se compadece de un joven encantador que ha atravesado tiempos difíciles. ¿Se arrepentirá de haber dejado entrar a este siniestro extraño en su casa? [ver: El cuerpo de la mujer en el Horror] ¡¡¡¡¡¡SPOILERS!!!!!! La máscara de plata de Hugh Walpole es una pequeña obra maestra del género, tanto es así que uno se pregunta cuáles fueron las razones por las que no logró el reconocimiento que indudablemente merece. Es cierto, la ejecución no es tan brillante como el argumento, e incluso este puede ser un poco predecible [al menos desde nuestro punto en el tiempo], pero de todos modos es un relato extraordinario. El argumento de La máscara de plata de Hugh Walpole podría resumirse brutalmente del siguiente modo: una mujer madura decide confiar ciegamente en un apuesto extraño, con consecuencias devastadoras para su vida. Suena como un cliché, y lo sería si no fuera por el profundo subsuelo de simbolismo psicológico que hirve debajo [ver: El cuerpo de la mujer en el Gótico] ¡Pobre Sonia Herries! ¿Pobre? Bueno, ella es una mujer independiente, soltera, de unos cincuenta años, bien posicionada en la alta sociedad, que disfruta de la vida saliendo con amigos y coleccionando objetos de arte. Sin embargo, siente que falta algo más en su vida; un significado más profundo, quizás: [«Sonia Herries era una mujer de su tiempo. Exteriormente era cínica y destructiva, mientras que interiormente era una criatura que anhelaba afecto y aprecio. Tenía el pelo blanco, cincuenta años, era activa, juvenil, podía dormir poco y comer menos; podía bailar, beber cócteles y jugar al bridge hasta el fin de los tiempos. Interiormente no le importaban ni los cócteles ni el bridge. Era sobre todas las cosas maternal y tenía un corazón débil, no sólo en términos espirituales, sino físicos. Cuando sufría, debía tomar sus gotas, acostarse y descansar. No permitía que nadie la viera en ese estado. Como las demás mujeres de su época, tenía el coraje digno de una causa mejor.»] La vida de Sonia Herries se ve invadida fatídicamente por un joven apuesto, un rufián, que sabe exactamente cómo jugar con sus necesidades afectivas. Henry Abbott primero se presenta a Sonia como alguien desesperadamente pobre, con una esposa y un bebé que sufren aún más que él. De mala gana, Sonia lo admite en su casa. Se declara asombrada por los conocimientos de arte que manifiesta el muchacho, quien, a su vez, está maravillado por una payasesca máscara de plata hecha por un maestro artesano. Sonia se dice a sí misma: «Nadie que se preocupara con tanta pasión por las cosas bellas podría ser un completo inútil». Tal vez no, respondemos, pero podría ser una persona vil [ver: El Machismo en el Horror] Más que ejecutar una insidiosa seducción, Henry Abbot literalmente comienza a ocupar espacios de la vida de Sonia, no solo emocionales, sino físicos. Comienza a presentarse en la casa de su víctima con su esposa e hijo, y hasta con sus cómplices, instalándose allí y reduciendo cada vez más el espacio habitable de Sonia, quien en este punto queda completamente aislada de sus amistades y viviendo a duras penas en el ático de la casa. Ella, literalmente, es como una mosca atrapada en una telaraña [ver: La Casa como representación del cuerpo de la mujer] Hugh Walpole es un maestro de la atmósfera y la ambientación, las cuales contrastan poderosamente con la voz del narrador, excepcionalmente tranquila. En este contexto, La máscara de plata es una historia poderosa e inquietante, que funciona perfectamente a nivel superficial [es decir, si consideramos a Sonia Herries solo como un caso de estudio psicológico], pero que adquiere mayor densidad y consistencia en sus aspectos simbólicos. Como caso de diván, Sonia exhibe una total falta de agencia. A pesar de lo que se dice a sí misma que es una mujer fuerte e independiente, en realidad permite que las personas y los eventos la dominen. Sin embargo, de algún modo logra reubicarse emocionalmente en este nuevo panorama, donde comienza a perder control de su vida, y de su espacio vital [ver: Casas como metáfora de la psique en el Horror] La máscara de plata de Hugh Walpole, insisto, es una pequeña obra maestra; y no seríamos injustos si la colocáramos a la misma altura de La lotería (The Lottery), El amante demoníaco (The Daemon Lover) y El hermoso desconocido (The Beautiful Stranger) de Shirley Jackson; o de El empapelado amarillo (The Yellow Wallpaper) de Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Pero creo que lo que más asombra es su extraordinaria similitud con el clásico de Julio Cortázar, Casa tomada, escrito once años después. Por otro lado, Henry Abbot recuerda poderosamente al [talentoso] señor Ripley de Patricia Highsmith. En efecto, La máscara de plata y Casa tomada tienen algunas similitudes notables. En primer lugar, ambas casas pertencen a familias adineradas, están ubicadas en áreas residenciales, y están habitadas por herederos que no han seguido la norma [ver: La Casa como entidad orgánica y consciente en el Gótico]. Sonia Herries [La máscara de plata] es tan solterona como Irene y el narrador [Casa tomada]. Sonia es invadida por un extraño, que poco a poco se va apoderando de las habitaciones de la casa hasta recluirla en el ático. Irene y su hermano también comienzan a abandonar progresivamente las habitaciones de su casa, pero aquí nunca conocemos a los intrusos; solo los escuchamos como ruidos imprecisos y susurros. En ambas historias, los protagonistas parecen resignados ante la apropiación de sus viviendas, casi como algo normal e irremediable en cierto punto. Por supuesto, Casa tomada es superior [sobre todo en la utilización de estos intrusos invisibles], pero La máscara de plata de Hugh Walpole prefigura asombrosamente el argumento de Julio Cortázar, y en sí mismo es un relato brillante por su originalidad.
