HALLOWEEN HAS TAKEN OVER DR. CARLOS' HOUSE! 🎃💀🕷️

Apparently, even the skeletons are warning us not to eat too much candy. But should we really be taking health advice from a skeleton who's bottling biohazardous liquid in old b**r bottles?? 😂💀

Meanwhile, Kano is rocking his skeleton shirt, and there's a giant spider lurking in the tree that looks suspiciously like him. Kano, is that you?? 👀🕷️

Happy Halloween from the SPARK family! 🎃

Just another day of training at SPARK. ✈️

Jarrod’s been working on progressive overload. We think he may have progressed a little too far. 😂

For this week’s AI post, we decided to lean into the absurdity. Just a little. 😉

45 Marymount ballplayers. One Friday.

Every one of them got the kind of testing most athletes never see until they turn pro.
Grip, power, engine, movement, all of it. Not to hand out ribbons. To show each kid exactly where they stand and what to train next.
Big thanks to Coach Cassidy and Marymount for opening the doors.
This level of scrutiny isn’t just for the pros. It’s for anyone serious about getting better.

Dr. CARLOS KNOWS THE BODY FROM THE FIELD TO THE CLINIC.

For more than 20 years, Dr. Carlos has worked at the intersection of physical therapy, exercise science, and athletic development.

With degrees in Kinesiology, Clinical Exercise Physiology, and Physical Therapy, his education gives him a broad understanding of how the body moves, performs, and recovers.

But his experience doesn't stop in the clinic.

Dr. Carlos developed SPARK's F.A.S.T. Program and has spent years working with athletes through training and team development. He has also played in and coached adult baseball leagues, including NABA, MSBL, and Independent League baseball.

Over the years, many of the young athletes he has worked with have gone on to compete at the university level. In fact, you'll find a university flag at SPARK representing the athletes who have taken that next step.

Today, Dr. Carlos continues to combine physical therapy and performance training helping clients recover from injury, build durability, improve performance, and understand their bodies along the way.

Whether the goal is getting back to doing what you love or preparing to perform at a higher level, the goal is the same: help you move better and keep moving forward.

Neck pain that spreads into your shoulder, shoulder blade, or arm? 👀

The anterior scalene is a small muscle in the front of your neck that can contribute to pain in several different areas including the neck, shoulder, scapula, and arm.

It’s also one of the muscles we commonly target with dry needling at SPARK.

BASKETBALL COACHES: don't wait until the season starts to start preparing for it. 🏀

Building strength, power, speed, movement, and conditioning takes time.

The offseason is when you have the opportunity to develop those qualities before they're tested in competition.

Start building now.

BASKETBALL COACHES & PARENTS: what happens off the court matters on the court. 🏀

The best basketball players in the world don't rely on basketball alone to prepare for the demands of their sport.

Strength training is part of the work. Building the physical qualities needed to handle contact, produce power, and perform at a high level takes work beyond the court.

In this video, Dr. Carlos explains what professional basketball players do to prepare physically and why off-court training matters.

Basketball develops the player. Training develops the athlete.

WHO SAYS STRENGTH TRAINING CAN'T BE FUN? 😁💪

Okay, okay... maybe we were joking about something. 😂

Coach Jarrod was demonstrating an exercise using one of SPARK's resistance bands when we caught this smile!

Want to try it yourself? SPARK's resistance band kits are available at the Fieldhouse for $35.
