Huge congratulations to Legend athlete (and Shane’s sister-in-law) Leah Smith on another stellar weekend at the 2026 NCAA D2 National Track & Field Championships!

Leah added two more First Team All-American honors to her resume:
200m – 1st Team All-American
4x400m Relay – 1st Team All-American

That puts her at 9 career First Team All-American honors - and she’s still climbing. Few people are lucky to even have one chance at becoming an All-American

Here’s the truth about Leah: nobody works harder, and nobody gives more. She pours everything she has into this sport: the small things done right, the extra reps, showing up when it matters. She doesn’t get gifted any of this. She earns every bit of it, and she deserves every honor coming her way.

Leah, we are so proud of you and grateful to be a small part of your athletic journey. ⚡

Your Swing Isn’t the Problem

Your body might be

Limited hip rotation →
compensation through the low back.

Poor thoracic mobility →
overuse of the shoulders and arms.

Lack of stability →
inconsistent contact and power.

This is why swing changes
don’t always stick.

At Legend PT, we use:
• TPI Screening
• 2D Swing Analysis

To connect your body
to your swing.

We don’t guess.
We identify limitations
and build a plan around them.

Most golfers spend hours trying to fix their swing.

But if the body can’t get into the positions required,
those changes won’t last.

That’s where TPI screening and 2D swing analysis come in.

We look at:
• Mobility (hips, thoracic spine, shoulders)
• Stability and control
• How your body actually moves during your swing

Then we build a plan that improves both performance and durability.

If you’re serious about improving your game - this matters.

Anterior hip pain in athletes - especially golfers and runners
is often labeled a “hip flexor strain.”

It’s frequently something else.

A common cause:
Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)

The hip joint runs out of space
during flexion and rotation.

That usually shows up with:

• Deep hip pain in the front
• Pain with rotation or pivoting
• Discomfort during running or swings
• Pinching with deep hip flexion

FAI isn’t rare.

Studies show 10–25% of athletes
have cam or pincer morphology.

Many never know it until load increases

Stretching deeper into internal rotation
often makes symptoms worse.

Because that’s the position
the hip already struggles with.

Instead, we’ve had better success with:

Gradual loading into internal rotation/flexion

Building tolerance
rather than forcing range.

Activity modification matters early.

Running volume.
Golf practice frequency.
Deep hip flexion positions.

Load management changes symptoms fast.

Surgery is sometimes needed
but many athletes improve with
targeted rehab and load management.

Good surgical outcomes exist
when it's truly indicated.

Anterior hip pain shouldn’t stall your training.

There’s usually a plan that works.

If it’s been lingering for weeks…
it’s probably not a muscle strain.

True muscle strains
usually improve steadily
within 1–3 weeks.

Pain that sticks around
often involves:

• Tendon overload
• Joint irritation
• Disc sensitivity
• Load mismanagement

Muscles heal quickly.

Tendons, cartilage, and discs
adapt more slowly.

That doesn’t mean you’re damaged.
It means the tissue needs
a smarter loading strategy.

Rest alone rarely fixes
tendon or joint-driven pain.

Progressive loading does.

If it hasn’t improved in weeks,
guessing isn’t the plan.

3 Things Ruining Your Rotator Cuff Warm-Up

Mistake #1
Standing external rotations
with light dumbbells at your side.

Minimal tension.
Minimal carryover.
Mostly momentum.

The cuff doesn’t just rotate.
It stabilizes the humeral head
under load.

Your warm-up should reflect that.

Mistake #2
No isometrics.

Isometrics improve:
• Tendon stiffness
• Joint stability
• Motor control

Before movement even begins.

Better option:
Band ER iso holds
Iso + controlled reps
Time under tension > quick reps

Mistake #3
Skipping closed-chain work.

The shoulder is built to
accept force through the arm.

Planks + shoulder tap.
Bear positions.
Controlled weight shifts.

Warm-ups should prepare the cuff
to stabilize under load -
not just “activate.”

Train the cuff for function.
Not just rotation.
