We, as physical therapists, tend to see a lot of young athletes that are not playing a sport because of an injury. So for a change of pace, it’s nice to see athletes performing and winning without injury, and even better our own children. Recently, our two owners, Ryan and Josh, had the pleasure of watching their respective, oldest sons win local tournament championships! Josh‘s son Noah in baseball, and Ryan’s son Ryan in soccer. Of course Ryan and Josh were beaming with pride for each of their son’s play on their respective teams. However, during these tournaments, the real magic happens when these teams grow and get better and become more than just the individual players, they actually gel as a team. In Josh‘s case Noah’s baseball team had played their way into the last day of the tournament. Here they had to play three back to back games, the final one being against a team from upstate Pennsylvania that had recently beat them by more than 10 runs earlier in the tournament. Noah’s baseball team was able to run the table and win all three games while beating the team that had previously beaten them. In a late inning heroic, complete team effort Noah’s team prevailed and Noah was named MVP. Ryan was able to see his son Ryan and his Washington Township travel soccer team win all their games in the Deptford New Jersey tournament by a margin of five goals or more and take home the championship. Throughout this tournament they faced some of the best talent in South Jersey and we’re playing teams that were ranked a full flight above them in their age group. But even better, Ryan‘s team went from a disorganized, still learning the game of soccer, floundering team in the beginning of the season, to winning all of their last 10 games of the season looking like a determined, confident, and well organized team enjoying each and every game. Needless to say we are two very proud fathers.

MOVIE REVIEW ON INCREDIBLES 2
SPOILER ALERT!!! This movie is not just for kids it is equally entertaining for adults too! Incredibles 2 is a movie full of action, fun, adventure, family and humor that captures all audiences. There’ll be times where you are in the theater and your kids will be laughing at one thing and the very next minute all the adults will be laughing at another. If you want to have a fun night out with the family or just by yourself this movie is worth seeing. However, as healthcare professionals, we have to let you know that
there is a warning for anyone with a seizure disorder, because there’s a scene in it where they use a hypnotizing light that flashes and could possibly cause a seizure. So for that reason and that reason only I will take off a half a star.
