I would blame his fitness team. This is poor conditioning in my
opinion.
How poor conditioning factors in
For professional athletes, "poor conditioning" doesn't mean they
are out of shape. Instead, it refers to specific deficits in
their intense and specialized training regimens that make the
Achilles vulnerable.
Imbalance of training: In the world of elite sports, an athlete
may be highly conditioned in their sport's primary movements but
have weaker supporting muscle groups. This places
disproportionate stress on the Achilles tendon, which connects
the powerful calf muscles to the heel.
Insufficient rest: Fatigue is a major risk factor for an Achilles
tear. In the professional sports world, demanding game schedules,
playoff runs, and year-round training often mean inadequate rest
and recovery time. This chronic overuse can cause microtrauma to
the tendon and weaken it over time.
Acute stress on an unprepared tendon: Players returning to
strenuous activity after a breakrCodue to injury, a layoff, or an
offseasonrCoare at a higher risk of rupturing the tendon. This
happens when they put intense, forceful strain on a tendon that
is not yet ready for that level of load. The tendon may be
physically "fit," but it is not properly conditioned for the
immediate stress.
Weakness from previous injury: A previous lower-extremity injury,
particularly a calf strain, is a risk factor. If the muscles
don't fully recover and regain strength, the weakened leg can't
handle high-end stress as well, making the entire
musculotendinous unit more vulnerable.
The primary causes for all athletes
Sudden stress: The most common trigger for a rupture is a sudden,
forceful movement, such as an explosive acceleration, sudden
stop, or pivot. These movements are common in sports like
basketball, football, and tennis.
Natural tendon degeneration: Over time, tendons can experience
degenerative changes. While aging is a major contributor, high
training loads over many years can also accelerate this process
in younger athletes. A weakened tendon can rupture under a load
that a healthy one could withstand.
Inadequate warm-up: Skipping a proper warm-up routine can leave
the Achilles less flexible and more prone to injury.
Specific medications: Certain medications, such as fluoroquinolone
antibiotics and corticosteroids, have been linked to an increased
risk of Achilles ruptures.
Noteworthy cases in pro sports
Aaron Rodgers: The NFL quarterback tore his Achilles in 2023 on a
non-contact play, four snaps into his season with the New York
Jets, bringing the injury under intense scrutiny.
Kevin Durant: The NBA All-Star tore his Achilles in 2019 during
the NBA Finals while playing for the Golden State
Warriors.
Kobe Bryant: The late NBA legend tore his Achilles in 2013 while
playing for the Los Angeles Lakers.

I certainly don't move forward as fast as I used to; mental block to

Actually fucking up with your natural fluidity of movement will
increase the chances of getting injured.
To avoid injuries, people should work hard to get and stay fit to
play tennis, not playing tennis trying to get fit.

Just say "no" to any new COVID vaccine formulations, and you should be

9/11 was a sudden big shock and yes, it had a strong bonding effect. Covid was different. It seemed to in some cases divide people, but in others, unite them. I think a lot of relationships were either made or broken by people having
to be stuck in the same house together for months. So I'm talking not just about "us as a people" but also on a personal level.
Whether Covid was a "big deal" was debated furiously on this NG, but, it actually *was*.
