Long Branch’s Shuler Makes Waves at RutgersPISCATAWAY— Most people whofollow Shore Conference footballremember Miles Shuler as the dual-threat quarterback for Long Branchtwo years ago. Shuler piled uptremendous numbers under centerboth in the air and on the groundwhile leading the Green Wave. NowShuler is trying to make some wavesin his second season at RutgersUniversity at the wide receiver posi-tion.

The transition began last year,Shuler’s freshman season; howevermost of the work was done outside ofthe games. Shuler did not catch anypasses during the season, but sawsome game action to the tune of sixcarries and 42 yards. Throughout

spring practice and this summer’straining camp, the sophomore isgaining confidence that he can be aneveryday wide receiver.“Consistency is the main thing,” saidShuler. “When you’ve never played aposition it takes time. I’ve only beenat it two years. So it’s something Ihave to keep working on. I feel likeI’m getting better every day.”

In a scrimmage two weeks ago,Shuler was a standout on the field.He caught six passes for 166 yardsand two touchdowns. If he wasn’talready on the radar of his coaches,he certainly is now. “We had a lot ofconfidence in Schuler going into thescrimmage,” explained Rutgers HeadCoach Kyle Flood. “I didn’t think it

was necessarily something we need-ed to see. I think what he gains forhimself is confidence to go forward.”

Shuler hopes that his progress isenough to earn him a starting job, orat least significant playing time. If hecan break into the lineup, Rutgerscould feature two Shore Conferencewideouts with former Wall Townshipstar Tim Wright who was also nameda captain last week.

“She was really game,” saidDeCarlo. “I was sitting on the gowhole time. We wanted to let her runout of there because on paper shelooked like the fastest horse. She set-tled into a nice stride and was prettymuch cruising. In the stretch,Zucchini Flower might have stuckher head in front, but my filly never

quit and fought right back.”The homebred daughter of After

By Mike CelliWith the end of NFL train-

ing camp this week and rostercuts eminent, I have listedbelow certain information thatis relevant to a player and theirsuccess as a professional ath-lete. This information illustrates the attention todetail that the league and each athlete must complywith in the business of pro football. We havethroughout the year examined elements needed tosucceed on and off the field and structure is animportant element for success. Here are two ele-ments regarding a player's status on the roster.

A player will not receive an accrued seasontowards free agency for any league year in whichthe player is under contract to his club and fails toreport to that club at least 30 days prior to the firstregular season game. This is an important consid-eration for a player who has played fewer thanfour accrued seasons which is the minimum num-ber of accrued seasons to achieve unrestricted free

agency. An unsigned restrictedfree agent can be placed on hisclub's roster exempt list if hedoes not sign a new contractand report to camp at least theday before the clubs secondpre-season game. If he signs

and reports after that date he will lose one or moreweeks of regular season pay depending on howlate he signs and reports.

A club may fine any player who is under con-tract and reports late to training camp for the 2012pre-season a maximum of $30,000.00 dollars perday. If the player signed the contract as an unre-stricted free agent the player can also be fined anadditional one week’s regular season salary foreach pre-season game missed and may also besubject to forfeiture of bonuses if his holdout lastsmore than four days. Understanding structure andknowing the rules in the classroom, on the field orin business is important to success. Stay focusedwith attention to detail.

Back in May, I went to Flushingand the Bronx to cover Toms RiverSouth Alumni Todd Frazier’s “home-coming”. If you read The JerseySporting News’ June 5-19 edition,you know that the former Indianstandout is now playing professionalbaseball for the Cincinnati Reds.

Frazier’s trip east in May tookhim to Citi Field and YankeeStadium, home to the Mets andYankees respectfully. At those NewYork stadiums I photographed andwrote about the Toms River native.While in town, Frazier did not disap-point me or the hundreds of Southfaithful that made the trip to NewYork to see their favorite son.

Now three months later, Frazierhas come back “home” for the finaltime in the regular season. The Redshave four games against thePhiladelphia Phillies. A glance at themap shows just about the same dis-tance from Toms River toPhiladelphia as it is to New York. Soinstead of north on the Turnpike,Frazier’s family and friends all wentsouth. We cross the Delawareinstead of the Hudson and get toCitizen’s Bank Ball Park.

So what has Frazier done sinceMay? He has done exactly what hehas done his entire baseball career:

he has played outstanding baseball.His daily performance is a huge rea-son why the Reds are still on top ofthe NL Central Division. With ahandful of the Reds’ key players onthe disabled list, Frazier has playedanywhere he has been needed. Nomatter where Reds Manager DustyBaker pencils Todd in (third base,left field and first base) he has givensolid defense. And if his glove workwas not enough, at the plate he hasraised his batting average more than20 points from that third week inMay. He is now hitting in the mid.290’s. He has hit for average andpower, adding a bunch of home runsand RBIs.

Is a third Homecoming possible?Sure, if the Yankees and Reds keepwinning and we get a 1976 WorldSeries rematch. If that occurs, thatwould mean another trip to the Bronxand no one would complain.

Harry Flaherty has played football since hewas seven years old and in the second grade. Nowall of his hard work and dedication through PopWarner, high school and college including the off-seasons earned him a tryout with the DallasCowboys this summer. Flaherty is in camp tryingto use his many skills (he plays tight end, longsnapper and fullback) to make it onto an NFL ros-ter.

Flaherty comes from a football family as hisfather who is the head of The Fellowship ofChristian Athletes, played for Holy Cross Collegeand briefly played professional football. Hisgrandfather (Jim Garrett) was a coach for the NewYork Giants (1969-1973) and a scout for theCowboys (1987-2004) after a long playing career.All of his uncles played for Princeton Universityand were invited to NFL camps. Jason Garrett,who played in the NFL, is now the head coach ofthe Cowboys. John Garrett is the tight ends coachfor the Cowboys and Judd Garrett is the director ofpro-scouting for the Cowboys and Jim Garrett is

the head football coach at University College. In high school, Flaherty played for Red Bank

Catholic as a tight end and linebacker and wasnamed to the All Shore team. He also excelled inthe classroom by being named to the NationalHonor Society. Flaherty moved on to PrincetonUniversity where he played tight end. Known asan excellent blocker, Flaherty also caught 43 pass-es for 405 yards (9.4 yards per catch). He also isone of a few tight ends in college football historywho has thrown a touchdown pass.

At 6’ 3 and 250 pounds Flaherty got someoffers to try out for some NFL teams last season.After trying out for the Saints, Patriots andBuccaneers he did not make a final NFL roster. Ashe continued to work out in the offseason he wasalso preparing for a life outside of football and wasintending to leave for the University of TennesseeLaw School when the Dallas Cowboys called lastweek. Their starting tight end was injured and theywanted Flaherty to fly down to Dallas immediate-ly and try out for the team. So now in an NFL

camp once again, Flaherty quickly learned theplaybook and played 13 plays in the Cowboys firstpreseason game. With two more preseason gamesto play, he will have more of an opportunity tomake an impression and make his first NFL roster.“Football has been a huge part of my life growingup and I was blessed to have a lot of great exam-ples around me with my grandfather, father anduncles. I have been extremely fortunate,” saidFlaherty.

By Eric BraunWEST LONG BRANCH – TheMonmouth University women’s soc-cer team opened their 2012 campaignin perfect fashion for the first 45 min-utes, but lost focus in the second halfand fell to in-state rival and 26thnationally ranked Rutgers University3-0 in front of 1,200 plus fans.

Monmouth enters the season withthree returning all Northeast Con-ference players in junior forwardDana Costello, sophomore defenderKim Clemmer and sophomore goal-keeper Jocelyn McCoy. Costello ledthe Hawks offense in scoring in 2011with 20 points (5 goals/ 10 assists)while fellow junior Monique Plescialed the team in goals with seven goals.

With the addition of two ShoreConference standouts in BrianneBoyle and Amanda Dailey, along withreturning starters in junior defenderAlexandra Baca, senior forwardClaudia Vazquez and senior forwardNicole Close, the Hawks led byCoach Krissy Turner should bypassthe preseason predictions that havethe Hawks finishing third in the con-ference and competing once again forthe NEC title and a shot at the NCAATournament.

Turner’s Hawks looked poised tobattle Rutgers up and down the fieldon opening night as they played a

hard fought scoreless first half. But asthey went to halftime and the heavyrains soaked the Great Lawn in WestLong Branch, it seemed like the rainsalso washed away the Hawks focusand determination in the second half.

Rutgers quickly scored sevenminutes into the second half when theMonmouth defense committed a slop-py foul in the box to give JonelleFiligno from Rutgers a penalty shot

which she would beat Hawks’ goalieMcCoy on.

The Hawks would never recoveras they battled themselves more thentheir Scarlet Knight opponents withcostly miscues and mental break-downs.

Rutgers would add anotherFiligno goal in the 84th minute andanother penalty kick this time fromShannon Woeller in the closing min-

utes to give the Scarlet Knights anopening day win.

The Hawks will be back in actionat home again on September 7th, 14thand 16th. Be sure to check out theaction as the Lady Hawks look torebound and push forward with anoth-er double digit win season and takeCoach Turner back to a 15th consecu-tive Northeast Conference Tourn-ament.

MARLBORO — With the growingnumber of youth travel soccerteams in the shore area lately, thereis a growing number of sports relat-ed injuries to deal with at suchyoung ages.

Thanks to physical therapistssuch as the physicians at AdvancedOrthopedics and Sports MedicineInstitute, who have offices through-out New Jersey, athletes are gettingback on to the playing fields andthey and their parents are instructed

on activities going forward. Children are pushing harder

and harder nowadays to outdo theirfellow competitors, and in somecases cut corners during practiceand warm ups to take on more.These are the athletes that are end-ing up with physical therapists withankle, knee, back and arm injuriesand inevitably such activities willhave a greater influence on thechilds ability to develop propertechniques and skill.

According to the AmericanAcademy of Orthopedic Surgeons,nearly 570,000 athletes wereinjured playing soccer in 2009.Soccer in this country is one of thefastest growing sports in the UnitedStates and the growing number ofinjuries continue to grow at thesame rate.

With local tournaments thispast couple of weeks in Marlboro,Howell, Jackson and Ocean, eachtournament had an average of 150

teams with a minimum of 14 kidsper team. It seems that more andmore teams and organizations arepaying more attention to playersafety and less attention to all outwin at any cost.

According to Jason Cies, U9girls soccer coach from Howell, hekeeps a close on eye on all his play-ers during the games and they pay alot of attention to detail duringpractice. His girls have a trust fac-tor with him, knowing that he will

never put them in a situation thatwill get them injured.

Physical therapists, trainingprofessionals and coaches of soccerplayers have been putting in extralearning time and studies to preventinjuries from incurring, thus allow-ing the players to stay on the fieldto compete, learn and have fun.

AOSMI remains a leader in thephysical therapy industry in theshore area by providing an environ-ment for education and making

sure that the number one priorityare keeping their patient health.Advance Orthopedics was foundedin 2007 with the merger of WesternMonmouth Orthopedic Associatesand New Jersey OrthopedicAssociates, the practices allowsthem to draw on strengths to deliv-er exceptional patient centeredfocus. Their commitment to restor-ing patient health and getting backto normal routines, continues tokeep them above the rest.

Physical Therapy Keeping Soccer Players on FieldBy Eric Braun

LINCROFT – If Brookdale’s search for filling avacant head men’s soccer coaching positionincluded prerequisites including enthusiasm, ahigh motivational level and experiences in the col-legiate and professional ranks, the answer wouldbe no clearer than in David Janezic.

Janezic eats, sleeps and dreams soccer: his lifepassion. His love of the game is obvious to anyonein his presence. With an explosive enthusiasmdetailing his blueprint for Brookdale Soccer;Janezic quite often turns to his past to help himinto the future. He carries an impressive soccerresume starting when he was just a young boy.

Janezic was a young boy when he was firstintroduced to soccer. At age five, he began playingin the Hazlet youth leagues, establishing himselfas a future star.

As early as middle school he was leading histeams to championships while being voted teamcaptain and MVP. He spent his teen years inRaritan High School, where he led his team to theGroup III State Championship during his juniorand senior years, winning the All-Around StateChampionship his junior year. As a senior, he gar-nered All-B North, All County, All Shore and AllState First Team Honors. He also was captain andteam MVP.

Upon graduating, Janezic was awarded a fullscholarship to Division I Monmouth University.

While at Monmouth, he was a four-yearstarter, and voted team captain his junior and sen-ior years. In his senior year, Janezic was teamMVP, voted All Northeast Conference first teamand nominated for the Boylan Award, which isgiven to Monmouth’s male athlete of the year.

When Wayne Ramsey, former head coach atMonmouth, was asked about Janezic, he spokevery highly of his former captain. “David tookgreat pride being a team leader, where he led byexample. His work ethic and ability to put his teamfirst ,were characteristics of David that made hima special player.”

In 1997, after a short stint as a Monmouthgraduate assistant, Janezic was recruited to playprofessional soccer in Italy. Rapidly working hisway up the ranks of the Italian Leagues, Janezicwas on the fast track to Italy’s premier profession-al soccer league when one of life’s cruel twists offate struck.

Janezic’s father and best friend was diagnosedwith cancer. Devastated by the news, he returnedhome on the next flight available.

During the next six years his soccer career wasput on hold while he helped his mother and sistercare for his father.

He entered the semi-pro indoor soccer leagueand enjoyed brief stints with both the CentralJersey Riptide and the Philadelphia Kicks, but hisemotional and financial support was needed athome and took precedent. He turned down tryoutoffers from the Metro Stars (Red Bulls) and theColorado Rapids to be with his beloved father,who passed away in 2004.

After his father’s death, Janezic began coach-ing and teaching soccer with various clubs, organ-izations and camps. He received his AdvancedNational Diploma from the National SoccerCoaches Association and his U.S. SoccerFederation ‘F’ License.

In August 2010, Janezic was appointed assis-

tant coach at Division II Caldwell College of theCentral Atlantic Collegiate Conference. While atCaldwell he helped develop a number ofAcademic All Americans as well as a successfulprogram on the field. He coached at Caldwell untilhe got the call from Brookdale to head the team forthe 2012 season.

At Brookdale, Janezic will stress the role ofthe student athlete and the importance of academ-ics. He demands his players to be students first andathletes second.

Growing up, David’s dad stressed three thingsover and over: be respectful, do the right thing atall times, and to make your education a priority.All three, are as important to him today as theywere when he was a boy.

On the upcoming season, his excitement boilsover. “This is something I’ve dreamt about mywhole life, it’s an incredible opportunity. I won’tbe satisfied until we bring home Brookdale’s firstNational championship in soccer.”

Frozen Shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis,is a phenomenon that can occur in men and women usu-ally between the ages of 30-60. Frozen shoulder fre-quently develops without any apparent cause, however,less commonly it can occur as a result of an injury.Nevertheless, when frozen shoulder occurs the patientbegins to experience difficulty moving their arm.

They usually find that overhead motions or reachingbehind them are very painful. An example of this wouldbe sharp pain when reaching for something in a backseat while driving in a car. Another problem that pres-ents itself is loss of motion. The patient has difficultyreaching, such as into their back pocket.

Eventually, the pain becomes so bad that it affectsthem at night and they have difficulty doing commonthings such as brushing their hair or even their teeth.

Fortunately, frozen shoulder is very easily diagnosedbecause most patients have a very definite “end point”when lifting their arm away from their body. The com-mon course of conservative treatment is physical therapy,anti-inflammatory medications, pain medications and sometimes injections. Fortunately, in the end,this treatment plan usually cures this sometimes frustrating, but treatable problem.

One of the most common nerveinjuries seen resulting from trauma tothe neck or shoulder is the burner orotherwise termed a stinger. Thisinjury is often caused by a directbelow or stretch injury to the brachialplexus which is the major nerve bun-dle exiting from the neck that sup-plies strength and the sensation to theupper extremities. Burners are typi-cally transient in nature and a com-mon symptom is pain radiating downone of the arms after a direct blow.This could also include a combina-tion of numbness, tingling, or muscleweakness.

Burners are typically classifiedas peripheral nerve injuries and thegrade one form is similar to symp-toms felt when your hand “fallsasleep” due to compression. Gradetwo or three peripheral nerve injuriescan cause permanent nerve damagedue to the extreme stretch of thenerve bundle. Luckily, grade threeinjuries are very rare in most sports.The most common mechanism ofinjury in a grade one burner occursduring a tackle in which the shouldergirdle is forcefully depressed or theneck is jammed to one side. The thirdmechanism of injury can occur whenthe neck is hyper-extended and bentto one side during the tackle. Somestudies have shown that the morepersistent burners with longer lastingsymptoms occur during the hyperex-tension with side bending of the neckas the mechanism of injury.

Most of the discomfort sponta-neously resolves in 1 to 2 minutes.Though symptoms that last longershould be clinically assessed and theplayer should be rechecked hours anddays later to determine residualdeficits. Once the initial injuryoccurs, a thorough clinical assess-ment is important to rule out moreserious injuries such as cervical frac-tures, dislocations or spinal cord con-tusions. Bilateral symptoms or painin both extremities along with motor

weakness and spinal tenderness maydetermine the need for further evalu-ation and players with those symp-toms should never return to thegame.

Once an injury occurs, any pre-disposing factors should be analyzedincluding postural deficits, limita-tions in flexibility and strength andthe use of protective equipment. Achest out posture is very critical tomaintain the position of the head andneck which reduces the predisposingfactors of tension on the nerve roots.It is also critical to determine anyrestriction in shoulder flexibility andneck mobility which may impact theproblems with recurrence. Some ofthe protective equipment includes theuse of a neck roll which limits theexcessive motion of the neck duringimpact, shoulder pad lifting devicewhich is worn underneath the shoul-der pads and lastly a cowboy collarwhich reduces the excessive amountsof neck mobility.

Examination is crucial forreturned to contact sports. This mustinclude complete resolution of symp-toms, pain-free and full range ofmotion of neck and shoulder and fullreturn of strength if deficits werepresent. Burners can reoccur fre-quently as one study published in1992 demonstrated an 87% increasein recurrence among college footballplayers that were followed and exam-ined. A previous history of burnersmust be relayed to the treating physi-cian, athletic trainer or physical ther-apist to help in determining theextent of injury.

Football players would benefitfrom a preseason screening of theirflexibility, shoulder and neck mobili-ty and postural control. In addition,their baseline strength of neck andupper extremity muscles should beexamined to determine underlyingdeficits. This can be performed by alicensed physical therapist or athletictrainer and should be made an essen-

tial part of the preseason physicalexamination.
