00:07aspects and every case is very different. Obviously some of them we know that are based
00:12on loads and minutes, it's inevitable. We have players that have been injured that have
00:16played 130 games in the last two seasons. So at the end it's an accident waiting to
00:21happen if you continue to load and load and load. Is it the season? Is it the accumulation
00:25of that? Is it the stress of that? Is it luck? Is it preparation? Is it methodology? There
00:32are a lot of factors and it's very difficult to point that at something but obviously the
00:36schedule that is planned is super demanding and for sets and plays, especially explosive
00:42plays, becomes a real issue.
