CARLY PATTERSON'S ALBUM: BACK TO THE BEGINNING

This episode has been commissioned by "Just an Ordinary Girl Putting Up a Fight to Get Out of This Temporary Life," who requested an episode analyzing the music of 2004 Olympic Champion, Carly Rae Patterson and her 2009 album, Back to the Beginning.
We answer important questions like, which song is a metaphor for WOGA? And which one is really about Khorkina?

The internal work; therapy and/or self reflection, necessary to be healthy in our jobs and relationships
Learning to have a healthy relationship with exercise after gymnastics
The actual force impact of landings and falls and a yurchenko double back on the body
The science behind back pain in gymnasts during puberty.
Red S Syndrome (formerly Female Athlete Triad) and the damaging garbage nutrition fads hurting gymnasts.
Gymnastics Myth Busted with an Dr. Dave Tilley PhD:
- You have to be short, young, and under-developed to be good at gymnastics and all skills have to be learned before puberty. False!
  - We discuss the physical and psychological advantages of hormones and puberty for female gymnasts.
- Gymnasts and children should never weight train. False!
  - The original study was based on children laborers and not safe, supervised weightlifting.
- Back pain, during puberty especially, is just a normal part of gymnastics and can't be prevented. False!
  - We discuss the effect hormones have on ligaments and bones during healthy puberty and how coaches can help their gymnasts safely navigate this growth period.
- If you are overweight you will tear your achilles. False!
  - BMI is not a factor in gymnasts achilles tears. Read the study here.
