Injuries and skateboarding can't really be separated, but there are things that increase your chance of getting injured and things that reduce that risk. These are some of the most important skills you have to develop to reduce the chance of unnecessary injuries. As @fgustavoo knows, working out regularly makes a massive difference to this, as well as just knowing when to pick your battles and skating consistently and progressively. Follow @the.daily.push to learn how to build physical & mental resilience to skate & feel at your best for as long as possible.

ADD THESE HIP EXERCISES TO YOUR TRAINING AND GET THOSE LOINS FEELING NICE N LUBED! Your hips do way more than you think — flex, extend, rotate, stabilise… they're powering SO MUCH of what we do when we skate, IF you can use them... Many skaters struggle to properly take advantage of their hips when they skate, forcing compensations and offloading work to the areas like the knees or back. This is a common cause of pain, stiffness, or just not feeling powerful on your board. So whether you're training for injury prevention, longevity or just to feel better skating, mastering mobility and strength through all planes of hip motion is key - hip flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation and external rotation. It's clear in the way @aureliengiraud skates that he dominates all these motions. As you can see there are many ways to train your hips and many exercises to choose from, the ones in this video are an example of some I'll add across a weeks program of the skaters I train. So add these to your training plan and see how strong hips can transform how you feel on your board. 👇 If you found this useful, give it a share so other skaters see it, save it for later, or comment down below👇 #skatetraining #skateforever #skatelife #skateforlife #skatehips #shakira

I've been working with Davin for about a year now and recently got a few sessions in with him when he came to Barca at the start of the year. As most the skaters I coach are online it's always a pleasure getting to meet them in person, and I've gotta say - Davin's a good fockin lad! Across the year we've worked on everything I usually work on with the skaters I coach, things like building a consistent training routine to locking in better nutrition and recovery habits. We've worked on different issues come up, like a knee and back injury and even worked on getting him ready for big competitions like Tampa Am. Right now one of his main goals is finishing his part with only the final banger left to go. One thing that gets me hyped about working on this with Davin isn't just that he really pushes out his comfort zone, battles for the tricks he wants, but he also really puts in the time to prepare for the tricks he wants to film. For a couple of these tricks in his part we've built out a plan for how he'll work towards stacking them, this last trick included. One of the tricks took probably more than 10 sessions, so we were constantly mixing up the plan, but he made it happen in the end (there's an epic backstory to this one which we'll drop at some point)! Looking forward to more sessions and seeing the part when it's done! Let's go Govner!! If you wanna figure out what working with me would look like just DM me with the word COACHING and let's chat.

Just like P-Rod said "I noticed a lot of kids get to 23-24 and they start hurting, but they think it's just a part of getting older. I want them to realise, like I did, 23 is young and there's no reason for your body to be sore all the time." Ok it's true that once you get to your 30s you're going to have to start doing more than just skate if you want to continue feeling fresh and skating well. But if you make a bit of an effort off your board you should be getting better and better well into your 30s and even into your 40s. Don't let those other people who never do anything to take care of themselves get in your head. Resistance training is something you 100% have to be doing if you want to skate as long as a you can. It sucks I know, no one wants to do it but it really is essential (for the 100s of reasons I've explained on this page and the website). Commit to 2 sessions a week and see how you feel in 4-8weeks. It's insane how many skaters I've heard say how good they feel after taking a week off from skating, which really goes to show how fatigued the average skater really is on a daily basis. It makes sense, skating is intense and heavily stresses the body, and your body needs time and energy to recover, or that damage will just accumulate. Now I'm not saying you should be taking a week off regularly, the key is to get on top of recovery. Sleep, nutrition, minimising stress, and getting rest as you need throughout the week and varying the intensities of your sessions. Eg having a chill flat sesh after a heavy gap jumping sesh, as opposed to just blasting it every single day and every single session. Training also has a big role to play here as it has a protective effect on your body, meaning skating will mess you up less, you'll recover faster and you'll actually be able to skate more.

You want to skate for as many years as possible and not feel absolutely haggard whilst doing it? Then it IS A PROBLEM that you can’t stay consistent with training. I’m sure you know (or you wouldn’t keep trying), training is essential for every single skateboarder (and person!) on the planet if you want to build resilience and age well. But if you know it’s so important to keep you doing the thing you love so much, then why is staying consistent even hard?! Well, like I said in the video it’s almost always down to not having the right systems in place. Maybe you try some random program online that’s too intense. Maybe you try something that worked for someone else, but isn’t necessarily what fits with your lifestyle. You need an individual approach that works for you. If you want help figuring out what that looks like and finally stay on top of training and other habits you know you need to lock in, then drop me a DM with the word TRAINING and let's get it. #skateforever #skateforlife #skatetraining #skatecoaching

A mini-part filmed in 8 days in Montreal, Canada and Barcelona, Spain. I recently started playing around with landscape phone clips and square footage on GoPro and thought "ok ok, this doesn't actually kinda looks acceptable!? Maybe I can collect some clips and see what happens..." (whilst my actual part is taking forever to film). I wasn't expecting to drop anything soon, but in July I was lucky enough to be invited out on a skate trip in Montreal, and even though we were battling rain on the daily, we stacked a good amount of clips! That combined with a lucky four clip stack in one day in Barcelona made me feel like I had enough to put together a little part, and this is that! Actually pretty hyped on how versatile the phone / GoPro set up is, and even though GoPro often looks pretty suss, I feel like with the square setting it's actually solid. You can let me know your thoughts down below. Thanks to everyone that filmed: - Alex Battah - Julia De La Cruz Bravo - Kory Korab And special thanks to Alex for being a legendary host and squeegee master out in Montreal. Stay tuned for more mini projects dropping soon! - Matt Song: One To Grow On - The UMC's

Intensity can be increased by the length of the session, the effort the session feels, number of sessions a week, impact, slams, dehydration, etc. These things stress your body more and require more recovery to get you back to baseline. Until you're there, you'll likely have to lower the intensity of following sessions and therefore progress slower over time. And if you're constantly skating underrecovered or way past what you're used to, your injury risk will go up too. So it's not about avoiding intensity, it's about either building up to it so it doesn't stress your body so much, by skating but reinforcing your body with things like nutrition, training, etc. Or when the random spikes do happen, recognising that you need to spend more effort on recovery before you can go hard again. If you're constantly sore and feel like your recovery is holding your skating back, send me a DM with the word RECOVER and let's chat. #skateforlife #skatetraining #intensity

"WTF is The Daily Push?! If you skate, I'm commited to helping you avoid unnecessary injuries, unnecessary time off your board, and skating at a level you're hyped on. Here's my story on how this journey started 👊 The Daily Push started out of a shitty situation. Back around 2015 I’d been skating with constant pain, feeling weak, and losing tricks for a while, but as most skaters would, I kept ignoring these things and pushing through. Until one session I went to pop a fs flip and boom. My back snapped. I dropped to the floor and my body completely shut down. I was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs, patella tendonitis, and a hip problem that ended up getting operated on. I was at the point where I didn't even know if I’d skate again. Now, the year leading up to all this I’d been travelling and made some pretty bad diet and lifestyle choices that left me feeling and looking like a malnourished goat. This meant when I got back and started skating at the same intensity as before the trip, my body couldn't handle it. In total I was off my board for a full year, and during this period it hit me that I could have avoided these injuries and time off if I’d known more about how to take care of myself. This was the moment The Daily Push started. After my surgery I started training for the first time in my life, eating better, and making small changes to feel better on and off my board. Fast forward 7 years, I just turned 34 and am feeling and skating better than I did back then at 26. In the skate world we’re told it’s normal to be in pain and struggling past your early 20s, but I'm really grateful to now know this is bullshit and theres actually many things we can do to not have this experience. I started the daily push to share this info and help other skaters avoid the same painful path I went down - time off their board, unnecessary injuries and frustration of not skating at a level you’re hyped on. If any part of this story resonates with you and you want to reach out to see if I there's anyway I can help you too, hit me up!

A bit of stress and frustration when you’re skating is unavoidable and to be honest sometimes it’s even gunna hype you up! But there’s a difference with a bit of frustration, and straight up negativity towards yourself and the present moment. The situation I’m talking about in the video is the latter. Where you’re just hating, complaining about everything and getting into a vibe that isn’t doing anything good for you, your skating or the people around you. There are thousands of different ways to get out of this and each person might have a different method, but some things that have helped me and other skaters I’ve worked with are: 1. Realising the negativity doesn’t exist outside in the world, it’s all a matter of how you're perceiving reality. 2. You can change your perception by changing what you focus on and what you tell yourself about the present. 3. You can change your perception by changing your expectations of the session and yourself. 4. Changing the spot, playing around with tricks you don't normally try, or just straight up trying to have more fun can have a big impact. 5. You can release stress and tension with breathing and “somatic” exercises, like shaking your arms, which can change how you feel. Negativity when you skate is something that can almost become a habit and one that's hard to break out of. But with consistent effort to change you can build other habits. I'd love to hear what are some methods that help you to stay out of that bad headspace when you skate? Drop your answers below!
