Your body in guard - hands

I was looking up online some facts about the body and I overcame this article on  working out. So, I look up some interesting facts on the body and colorguard and compare them and there are a lot,


Did you know?

  • One third of all acute injuries seen in emergency rooms involve the upper extremities.
  • Two thirds of upper extremity injuries occur to individuals in their working years.
  • The most common disabling work injuries in the United States involve the upper extremities, accounting for over one fourth of all disabling work injuries. One out of six disabling work injuries involve the fingers, most often due to the finger striking or being struck against a hard surface. 
  • One fourth of athletic injuries involve the hand and wrist.
  • Children under the age of six are at the greatest risk for crushing or burning injuries of the hand.
  • carpel tunnel is most common seen in men and woman ages 24-35
  • sports with lots of wrist involvement have more cases of swollen joints, arm and hand pain, and arthritis
  • your hand can inquire deep pain just from long periods of rotation of the wrist
with colorguard being so demanding of you as well, its reasonable to also say that you would be at more risk doing at least 4 years of guard and be able to fit in all of the categories above. What this mean is that life and guard are two different  areas that guard can be accountable for also, you would have more problems and more difficulties in most hand to arm injuries that a colorguard person goes through and have regular injuries with the hand become two times more likely to happen with you.


but, Hey!! Its for the love of guard !!!

What to expect this year at WGI

Since everyone is ready For Winterguard 2016, I wanted give some expectations on what's about to go down this season




10. more teams!!!

 new teams like lake area independent and many more will be giving there all this season on the WGI stage this year and showing people some really talented guards with great skills for this coming season.


9. bigger tricks

last year amachi brought the #amachitwoturn to the WGI world , Now this year, I think there will be another trick coming into play for everyone to try and almost hurt themselves
 
 

8. Onyx euphoric pieces

if you been noticing, Onyx does some of the best, most artistic work out there.
 
 
 
So, this year , will they bring something different and out of there element  or will go even more artistic and play even more with the powerful statement piecies
 
 

7. Fantasia being Fantasia

 

One of my favorite pieces by fantasia was "Image of India" and since that show, I forever fell in love with them but, I want to know , what tricks will come out the hat this year with fantasia???
 

6. seeing people give it there all

each year these young adults put on these shows and put there blood, sweat, and tears into the show like no other and embrace the sports of the arts like it should be for ever and ever
 

5. Getting chills for every guard that hits the floor

You can not lie and say you do not get chills when these guards hit the floor, Honestly...
 

 
 
enough said
 
 
 

4. All the platforms to get involved with

From the Instagram to twitter pages to snapchat stories , who is not going to watch??????
 
 

3. all the lovely show themes

I love visualizing the show before I see them on the WGI stage because it just makes the experience better than it actually is
 

2. THE FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean , you never seen fans like the WGI fans Before!!! just listen to the backgrounds , you will hear them roar like Giants!!!!
 

1. the Aftermaths

Being able to see thousands of people stand and come together and bonds , all over one thing we all love
 
 

                         The Love of Guard!!!!!!!
