You gotta reassess your life if you are an adult crying over a football game you are not even playing in.

If I were a professional athlete, I think I would wait until Shaq/AI and crew release at least one decent product before jumping ship with my giant Nike contract.

i used to have such bad lower back and knees pain from 15 to 36. I started doing stretching and knees over toes guy stuff about 2 years ago and wow i feel better now at 38 than i did ever in my life. For me it was mainly hip flexor i think. They were a mess so once i sorted those out more it resolved a lot for me. Body went from feeling pain constantly to a smooth calm relaxed feel. I run now i play hoops i exercise etc. was so tough before because id feel so terrible afterwards before.

This is really the key. I’ve always jogged so I never thought I needed to do anything more than that and some weight-lifting. But once I found one of those YouTube physical therapist channels and started copying her stretches, I don’t feel anymore of those random tightness, tweaks, or Charley horse’s.

I can't really work out like I used to anymore due to my medical condition but I remember always taking a quick stretching prep before starting anything, followed by a quick 10 minutes on the stationary bicycle to warm up.
Then after working out I'd spend a few minutes doing stretches again.
It's just a habit I picked up even long before I started working out. In the 8th grade or so I randomly dislocated my kneecap in school while trying to pick up a piece of paper I had dropped. The issue was that my kneecap was so loose that I could basically grab it and shift it around way more than you should be able to. My right knee has the same issue but I've never had issues with it.
Hence why it dislocated from such a random action like picking up a piece of paper. Of course this worsened how loose the kneecap was and it required a kneecap stabilization surgery.
Basically just 2 titanium screws that make sure the kneecap stays firmly in place.
In the words of the doctors after the dislocation, it required immediate surgery because they could hypothetically pick up my kneecap and easily dislocated it manually.
Any movement at all would've always been a gamble hoping for the kneecap to not flop around and dislocate if they were to let me out of the hospital, according to the knee specialist and the knee surgeon.
While my right knee technically has the same issue of having an overly loose kneecap, it's not as bad as my left knee was and I've still never had issues with it.
Recovery took a lot of physical therapy and that really taught me a lot about the importance of stretching, because it was very noticeably aiding my recovery.
The surgery was horribly painful and came with a lengthy recovery period that I vividly recall, so I guess stretching just became a habit I continued doing even after my physical recovery was completed.
