Happy legs= Happy knees

While Weintraub’s tendonitis pain has caused him setbacks, it has not stopped him from practicing daily. Trainers at CSULB have continued to aid the athlete daily with exercises, stretching, and icing to speed up the healing. They have come to realize the athlete may have a slight imbalance of muscle in his legs. Weintraub explains, “My quad is too strong and my hamstrings are too weak, so to counteract this, they put me on a rehab program where I have to come in and strengthen my hamstrings everyday.” The greatest frustration the athlete has since faced is the time it is taking to heal. “I haven’t been able to progress as fast as I was in the Fall and I haven’t been able to workout as hard, because I need to keep my legs happy.” In order to keep his legs “happy,” the athlete has followed the trainers requirements including daily visits at their office. In addition, the athlete continues to work out his abs, arms, and back to stay in performance.
