The analysis of some aspects of the technique can help to
explain the athlete’s performance, injuries and his/her future possibilities.
With the information that we present in this blog I’m not intended to replace a
scientifically organized evaluation process, but just to play with the
available information.
Mr. Norris does not have a history of recurrent injuries
except for his left hand and wrist. Recently he suffered a sprained right
ankle.
Analyzing his running technique we can observe a complete
extension of his knees before landing in front of the hip with his heels. When
analyzing him from behind we can see also an apparent compression of the
internal aspect of the knee. While running in curve the landing is happening
with the external aspect of his foot creating inconvenient loads at the ankle
level.
While batting, his left foot remains in the same position
until the end of the body rotation creating a torque load at the left knee level.

Conclusions: moderate risk of injury in the knees and
ankles. Moderate risk of soft tissue injury in his legs.
