TEKTONIC Sports Performance News

Magnolia |

Emily Garza has played through the pain.  She has played with torn ligaments on her right thumb and a fractured left thumb.  Her right throwing shoulder has also been injured through the rigors of athletics.

Being a catcher does not afford one the luxury of comfort and tranquility in the sport of softball.  Foul tips to the hands, collisions at the plate, endless squatting, and the south Texas heat all contribute to the charm of sports’ busiest receiver.

Garza recently recovered from a partially torn meniscus of her right knee, suffered at a national softball tournament in the summer of 2011.  Garza was playing for the Select Texas Hawks softball team of Spring Klein.

“The injury was from a collision at the plate of our national tournament,” says Garza, a 2011 1st Team All-District catcher as a freshman for the Magnolia Lady Bulldogs.

“I knew my knee was hurt right after the collision,” said Garza.

“My coach (Dick Haskell of the Texas Hawks) basically told me to shut it down for the rest of the summer.”

Recover and prevent injuries for the upcoming season

The TEKTONIC off season throwing program is designed for pitchers and position players

The long baseball and softball season is finally over.  You have played in as many as 80 games and if you are a baseball pitcher you have thrown over 10,000 pitches including bullpen sessions and side work.  Your arm has been through the ringer and if you are fortunate you have experienced limited or no arm pain or injury.

Consider yourself lucky.

Position players for baseball and softball are overlooked in the dynamics of throwing injuries but are as much at risk for ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and rotator cuff tears as their pitching counterparts.

If your shoulder and elbow joints are not properly trained going into your upcoming season you are just as likely to injure your throwing arm during the season.

PREPARING FOR THE SEASON

Sophomore guard Nicole Iademarco returns from serious knee injury to lead the Lady Highlanders in 2011 - 2012

Pre surgery rehab helps with recovery process of talented sophomore

The Woodlands, Tx|

The silky smooth jump shot and fluid style of Nicole Iademarco was put in limbo last May as she suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of her left knee while driving for a layup.

The collision under the basket would also tear her medial collateral ligament (MCL).

The MRI showed a possible full tear of the ACL. Her orthopedic surgeon initially advised her she could be out of acton for as long as nine months.

Her first year on varsity could have been over before it started. With a bad enough tear her basketball career would be over at the tender age of 15.

“We could not tell for sure if it was a full tear until they actually went in and scoped the knee,” said Iademarco, a six foot shooting guard.

“I wasn’t very happy. I remember there was a lot of screaming and yelling before the surgery.”
