Victor Kollar, PT takes you through the areas to think about as you get ready for your annual turkey bowl football game.

Last Thursday night, Seattle’s beloved wide receiver Tyler Lockett suffered a finger fracture
injury during a game against the San Francisco 49ers. The injury occurred when Lockett
attempted to catch a pass and his finger was accidentally stepped on by a 49ers player. Finger
fractures can be painful and can affect a person’s ability to grasp or hold objects. In Lockett’s
case, the injury could potentially impact his ability to catch and hold the football.
High Ankle Sprain
Eight days ago, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain. He has healed well enough to not need a painkilling injection.
Tract Wolfson of CBS reported just before kickoff that Mahomes did not receive an injection prior to the AFC Championship against the Bengals.

Learning to visualize these scenarios prior to an event may regulate your emotions, have better control of your environment, and honestly, you may end up with a positive outcome with all the repetitions and practice.
Sharpen your skills, and be as detailed as possible. I know that when I used to play basketball I remember being at the free throw line, 4th quarter, my team was down by 5 points in the playoffs. When I got to the line I noticed the fans in the crowd going crazy, cheerleaders stomping on the floor, and teammates at the free throw line sweaty, huffing, and puffing. Both coaches yelling at their players to get them ready after the 2nd free throw attempt. As I stand at that free throw line, I can feel the sweat drip through my jersey, down my arms. I could even see the sweat drip onto the free-throw line. Everything felt slow, I couldn’t hear anything, and it felt like I had tunnel vision. It was just me, the basket, and the ball.

Hawks Shoulder Surgery
With the 27th pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Seahawks selected Jordyn Brooks, a menacing linebacker out of Texas Tech. While many Seahawk fans doubted the pick, as we often do in the current Seahawks era, Pete Caroll and John Scneider have had their reasons and a master plan that can leave fans holding their breath. Brooks is the first linebacker the Seahawks have drafted in the first round since 2009 when they selected Aaron Curry out of Wake Forest. Interestingly, Curry also happens to be a new-hire for the Seahawks as a defensive assistant coach as of this year.
