A steadily growing number of amateur athletes spend significant time and money to train their sport on a close-to-professional level. The main difference: Unlike the pros, the hordes of amateur fighters do not usually have skilled and experienced medical and training staff at their disposal to take care of their health. All Combat Sports come with their own distinct sets of injury profiles and considerations of training, prevention, health and fitness based on their individual athletic requirements. Unfortunately, to this point accurate health resources specific to Combat Sports are rare at best. That’s where C.A.S.H. comes in.
C.A.S.H. is a health care portal aimed at Combat Athletes with the proclaimed goal to provide accurate, research based information on how to stay healthy, deal with injuries and maximize performance.
A private message from C.A.S.H.-creator Don-Felix Ryzek:
In twenty years of combat sports experience I have trained in many arts, at numerous facilities and with countless instructors. I was never heading for the Olympics or the pros but my success definitely was taking off when a string of injuries and surgeries put an end to my competitive career. It is true, accidents happen. But I am convinced that proper education, especially at the very beginning of my training might have prevented many health issues from arising. That’s why the decision to create C.A.S.H. once I started medical school was a no-brainer.
