Jordan referred us to her email on Friday 9/10 for the thought of the day. 9/11 Memorial -  Scott Yanofsky mentioned that the gentleman that organized the transport of the 9/11 debris for the memorial at the fire house was there. . . . Camp Pendleton dropoff was a success. Our Tour de Pier team raised $9,432. Thank you, Rotarians!!. . . Happy birthdays and anniversaries.  Notable anniversaries -  the Russos’ 62 years  and Hugunins’ 55!!
 
Joel Ruben talked and sang to us about Rosh Hashanah and upcoming Yom Kippur. This is the time of year for reflection, accountability and repentance.  Embodies the idea of service above self!

Applied Functional Science
Todd Wright,  assistant coach and vice president of player performance, spoke to us about applied functional science, including bio, physical, and behavioral sciences.
We learned:
  • Tensegrity = Tension and Integrity in ligaments muscles and tendons.
  • It is important to MOVE!!  
  • Viscosity, elasticity, and plasticity.  Pain in one area can be from a problem somewhere else.  
  • Psoas muscle attaches to the femur and runs up to the ribs. 26 bones on the foot; 206 in the body.
  • Walking in the sand is great for the feet and the body.  Three-dimensional movement. Front to back side to side.
  • Stretch every morning.  “Melt the Fuzz!”
