Youth shoulder and elbow injuries aren't random.

They’re usually the result of an arm being asked to handle more than the body is prepared for.

Stop treating your kids like they're in the big leagues.

Let’s talk about managing expectations with a UCL repair.

A common question is, “How fast can I get back to playing? When will I be at full performance again?”

For athletes with an internal brace, the timeline is typically around 9–10 months. For those undergoing a full reconstruction, it’s often 12–14 months.

If you’re an athlete going through UCL recovery, it’s crucial to manage your expectations and understand that rehab isn’t linear. There will be ups and downs.

Our best advice? Focus on one milestone at a time.

Getting out of the brace
Lifting and training in the gym again
Getting back to plyometrics
Playing catch
Throwing off a mound

Taking it step by step, instead of fixating on the final return date, makes the process mentally, physically and emotionally easier to handle.

Looking at scholarship offers? Here’s something to note!

Most families hear the words "scholarship offer" and think the hard part is over.

It's not. It's actually where you need to pay the closest attention.

A college scholarship offer in baseball is almost never just one thing. It's athletic money stacked on top of academic money and the ratio between the two matters more than the total number.

Why? Because how much baseball money is in your offer tells you exactly how much that program actually wants your son.

A player on 80% athletic money is not getting cut. A player on mostly academic money with a small baseball portion on top? That math is a lot more complicated when it comes to playing time.

And here's the other thing nobody tells you..

Most programs aren't even fully funded up to what the NCAA allows. A Division II program might be allotted nine full scholarships but only have budget for five and a half. So when they offer you 50% at a school like that, that's actually a significant offer. Context changes everything.

Before your son commits anywhere, make sure you understand what's actually in that offer.

That's exactly what we help families navigate.

Why do UCL injuries happen and how can we lower the risk?

Yes, velocity is king in today’s game. But it also comes with a cost.

Think of it like investing in the stock market. There’s reward, but there’s always risk. So what are the risk factors?

High fastball volume & torque
Range of motion deficits in the shoulder
Strength imbalances in external/internal rotation
Even BMI can play a role

If the shoulder isn’t absorbing force the way it should, guess what picks up the slack? The elbow. That’s why we assess, train and monitor to build long-term durability.

If your son is 10, 12, 14 years old.. he needs to be building a strong foundation and that’s it.

This is why we approach youth development at Next ERA the way that we do.

A lot of parents assume strength training at this age means lifting heavy or trying to look like a high schooler in the weight room. It doesn’t. What it actually looks like is teaching a young athlete how to move well, how to produce force the right way, and how to build a body that holds up as the game gets faster and the demands get bigger.

The athletes who skip this phase, who go straight from rec ball to travel ball to showcases without ever building that foundation, are the ones we see later on. Dealing with overuse injuries, movement limitations and a body that was never prepared for the load being put on it.

The weight room at this age isn’t about getting big. It’s about building something that lasts.

That’s what Foundations is built around.

Back in 2018 we leased our second ever location at Holly Circle. We moved out of a small 2 office suite in to what at the time was a massive 2,000 square foot space 3 months after Tenley was born. In less than a year we had to take the space next door and added another 750 square feet. We did it all there: had kids, quit jobs, worked through COVID, bought businesses, made mistakes, fired, hired, you name it.

Fast forward 8 years later and we are moving in to our third CO location inside our 27,000 square foot performance facility.

Next ERA will turn 10 this fall and if you told me back then we would have locations in two different states, 25+ employees across 5 difference businesses, and I would be traveling in season to work with MLB clients I would laugh at you. But we show up and do the work. Knock down walls, hang cages, flood warehouses, make your kids fold towels; whatever it takes.

Looking back through all the pictures at Holly I’m reminded by one consistent thing: relationships are everything. We are grateful for all the people we’ve been able to work with over the years. Our patients and employees have gotten us to where we are now and we will continue to grow and provide the best product possible.

It’s hard to post only 20 photos over 8 years but there’s some gold in these. Looking forward to the next chapter.
