The Sports Medicine Broadcast: Recent Episodes

Turf Toe is ever-changing. Dr. Paul Shupe and Joseph Eberhardt discuss some of the facts and history of turf toe at the Memorial Hermann sports medicine update.
What can I do to benefit my athlete since turf is here to stay?Making sure the field is well maintained, and proper personal protective equipment is significantly important. A lot of football players like to wear narrow cleats which can contribute to lower extremity injuries based on the cleat pattern, length, and width of the shoe. The time of day we practice is important as well.
Is there any data or research done about laces and appropriately tying the shoe with appropriate arch support?Great question, I’d have to look into that. I’m sure there are studies – I didn’t delve into that. These are very important questions, I think that core strengthening is a very pertinent point as well.
You spoke about an increase in PCL injuries. From my education, the mechanism of injury for PCL is that dashboard injury, coming from direct force on the anterior tibia. Is there any research, or from your background and knowledge, why is it that we’re seeing more prominence from that mechanism on that turf?When it’s not a dashboard injury, the common mechanism is that you onto your knee bent at 90 degrees, your toe has interacted and your cleat is stuck in the turf so it's not giving away.
Your foot is in this dorsiflexed position and you land on that knee with all of the force going back through, as opposed to if the shoe gives out allowing you to land on less of a 90-degree angle.
Is there any correlation to gastrocnemius weakness regarding those Turf Toe injuries?I think that's a valid argument, I don't have enough science or background to say but I do think that would be an interesting thing to study.
We talked about the history of turf in your presentation, would you say we’ve moved in a safer direction? Are we moving to a safer surface?I think we are, I think we’re moving to a safer surface for our lower-level athletes. I think our higher-level athletes have different muscle builds and different muscle types that may lead to some of those injury at a higher level.
I do think the technology that's going into it is moving towards a safer playing surface, I don't think there's much we can do about the heat and some of the other things, and they are looking into that. I think we are moving there, the important thing here is that turf isn't going away, I don't think that we’ll ever go back to grass.
With technology moving forward, I do think it's becoming safer. I don't think it'll ever be 100% safe but with education, and proper maintenance, I think we can make it as safe as we can.
You mentioned the coconut or the cork, those things are natural materials that would rot, and putting turf in is a lengthy and expensive process. How does it make sense for a high school field to put something that might rot underneath there?So part of it is just the turnover of it, so it's got to be properly maintained. So when we use the proper equipment and the proper rakes just to shift it around that's a valid question, especially in a wet and humid environment like it is here. It’s not being used a ton yet, and I think that's yet to come. We may determine years from now that it's a bad idea.
Rice uses wood instead of rubber on their field, I found that interesting when we played there last year.
Did you notice any difference?Thinking back, I think your point about feet being sore on these fields; is a major problem. Your feet hurt at the end of the day on the rubber. There’s less of that impact.
We did have in our Rice game, but I don't think it makes a difference in injury, we had an ankle fracture that game, we had a significant hamstring rupture, and a couple of other things so I don't think it makes a difference as far as the interaction of the cleat but it may make it as far as the softness.
You mentioned your time in the military where you would sweep and make sure there was no foreign debris as part of the turfing. Can you speak briefly about your time serving our country?I served in the Navy for 12 years and loved it. I trained as an intern, and then I was 3 years as a flight surgeon with the Marines, serving in an F-18 squadron. I had the opportunity to go all over the world with that, then finished my ortho training in San Diego.
Then I spent 4 years as an orthopedic surgeon in Japan and Florida, and loved it.
They were not allowing me to do sports medicine, which is what I came to Houston to do a fellowship for. So, there are nothing but good things to say about the Navy and those who serve.
People who go to the military to become physical therapists or surgeons, can you talk about what they should and shouldn't think about before?So for me, it was an avenue for me to pay for medical school. They paid for me to go to George Washington University, and so one thing is well paid and very well educated no matter where I go in the world or in the country.
The training that we got is respected. Same thing for physical therapy. Other than the Naval Academy, and probably West Point Force Academy, there are not a lot of athletic trainers in the military.
But you certainly get that experience working with different types of teams, and I think the opportunities that you get serving far outweigh the downsides of deployment or other unfriendly things like being told where you have to be, when you have to be there, where to have to move to, overall very positive.
I think the Navy and all of the armed forces provide great education both in-person and online learning. A lot of the coremen would enlist, and have their education paid for while working on campus, and several of the individuals I worked with would graduate with a year's degree while they were on active duty service with no cost to them.

EMRs are like most things, it is not one size fits all. When looking for a solution for records management Will Ryan wanted to share his search results with all ATs.
Discussion topics:
- Searching for EMR
- How to obtain EMR
- How to Familiarize yourself with EMR
- Communications with EMR Companies
What has been your process for searching for an EMR?Identifying limiting factors like cost. Sportsware and AT Genius are cheaper options.
Barriers to documentation – time, limited resources, uncertainty of what to document. NATA has created guidelines regarding methods of documentation. Consider the legal aspect of documentation.
How do you approach your school about obtaining an EMR?Build value in the documentation. Explain how EMR protects patients, coaches, and healthcare providers; and keeps everything secure. Convenient place to store all UIL-required documentation.
What is the best way to familiarize yourself with EMR’s?CAATE standards have now included EMR’s.
Pearland ISD uses Rank One – signs in upon entry and documents almost everything. We introduce our MAT program students to Rank One and have them document all patient interactions.
Did companies offer demos of their EMR systems during your search?Rank One, Healthy Roster, Healthy Monitoring, Sportsware, AT Genius.
All provided demos, and were very open and helpful.
The creator of AT Genius took the time to meet with me.
Collecting some data is better than none, do what you can.
Use documentation to show the dollar value of your care and how much money you save parents by providing care.

Combat Sports Medicine seems like an extreme environment to practice Athletic Training. Dr. Ethan Kreiswirth created Blackbelt Sports Medicine to provide Athletic Trainer care for combat sports athletes.
You are always posting gnarly pictures and videos on IG. What gives you pause or catches you off guard?As an Athletic Trainer, I started covering tournaments around 1997.
Personal experience in the sport helps me understand the types of injuries that occur.
Tournaments now are 40 mats over 6 days
Dislocations, unconscious used to give me pause.
Now it is just running a company.
Or working youth tournaments, those are always difficult for me.
Does Blackbelt Sports Medicine have tournaments across the United States?Yes, we work with the BJJ organizations to help provide medical care for combat sports.
A new AT is going to work in combat sports medicine. How do you prep them?Gloves, gauze, skin lube, and nose plugs.
An Athletic Trainer working with Black Belt Sports Medicine could almost get away with just bringing their fanny pack, like the Nexus Deadbug
There is almost no taping done, maybe some finger taping.
You do a good bit of suturing…discuss that as an AT. Many of these BJJ athletes are from out of state or another country.
Suturing on the sidelines helps them out tremendously.
I have done about 10 sutures so far.
There is a lot of practice involved with the practice kits.
Not being licensed gives me more freedom to practice the emerging skills.
We take a table behind the scenes and do the standard prep work. We also instruct them to follow up with their HCP.
The larger tournaments have an overseeing physician onsite as well.

Bubba Wilson discusses Crisis Behavior or Crisis Etiquette live from the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update. He has been leading D6 in ATsCare since its inception and has learned a lot over the years.
Discussion topics:
- AT Cares
- Crisis Management
- CCISM Credential
- COVID Impact on AT Cares Program
- NATA Gather Program
- Mitigating Secondary Loss
Did crisis management help you be prepared for being inducted into the SWATA Hall of Fame?AT Cares drove me there.
CCISM credential:Certified Critical Incident Stress Management – Level 1 deals with individuals in crisis, the majority of AT Cares population. Level 2 deals with groups in crisis.
Began Crisis Management training in 2019.
AT’s managing grief:Grief comes in at a later time, ATs have to finish the game/event after a critical injury/event.
AT Cares reaches out once notified to ensure assistance is provided where needed
NATA Gather Program Integration:Young professionals can use NATA’s gather program to find mentors.
Crisis on campus – what is the best method to find that definite grief to counsel them?Don’t counsel them. Listen. Refer out.
Soapbox Warning – What is step 1 in managing the secondary loss of loved ones?Have affairs in order. Have a will, have life insurance. Have your burial wishes written down. Have the conversation. Have a list of your account usernames and passwords. Know how many death certificates you may need. Legal Zoom is a good resource. Make sure you constantly update your affairs. The primary loss will be exacerbated if we don’t handle our affairs.
Currently working on a presentation with AT Cares members regarding their experiences with loss and what they’ve learned along the way.

Practical Preceptor Tips from Christina Fry at Dawson High School in Pearland, Texas. They do an amazing job with the Sports Medicine staff, their student aides, and as preceptors for the University of Houston MAT program.
Discussion topics: * Advancing students in the profession * Preparing students * Outfitting students * Providing learning opportunities * Scheduling * What to avoid * Practical Preceptor Tips
How long have you been a preceptor?7 years.
Can you share some of the things you have done to help master's students be involved and advance in the profession?We treat the masters' students as an extension of our staff, we want them to be respected in our ATR just like us.
We have our high school students refer to them as Mr/Ms/Mrs. We interview them to make them feel that they are in a professional setting.
My assistant, Thomas, likes to ask them “What did you learn today?”. We outfit them, invite them to our pregame meals, we make sure that they feel respected. We make sure that every day they learn something new.
You interview them for the position, but they’re already assigned there?Correct. We ask them to submit a resume, and for a lot of them this is their first job “interview” and ask them interview-like questions and ask them to submit a cover letter.
We then give them critiques so they can start working and build that resume so that when they are done with their program they can apply and be successful for their interviews for their actual job.
Do you do that just once, or every week, every 3 weeks, etc?So our level 2’s are with us all year long, we make sure we give them monthly updates. Our level 2 this past year wanted an update every day, every week, so we always were helping her and growing her, anytime there was a hiccup or something she was unsure of, we gave her that reassurance and feedback.
For the level 1’s, it takes a while to get into that comfort zone, but we always try to give them feedback when we notice something, good or bad.
You talked about outfitting them to make them feel welcome, do we give them the ones that say athletic trainer, or the ones that the students wear, do they keep them; what does that look like for you?So it varies, level 2 vs level 1. Level 2’s we’ll give them the game day polo for the year, and require them to look professional when they come into the ATR.
Our students will wear Nike shorts and a T-shirt. We ask that our UH students either wear something UH to differentiate them or they wear a polo with either nicer shorts or nicer slacks, with their UH ID badge. And that way it identifies them as an adult and not a student.
More Practical Preceptor Tips: Include them in almost everything! So for GHATS, we made a fun t-shirt for the t-shirt contest, and we had a team-building activity of tie-dying the shirts.
We invited our UH students to join in since they went with us to GHATS, and they were allowed to wear that shirt as a fun GHATS representation. For our level 1’s, if there’s an event going on during the time that they are with us we’ll give them one of the students' shirts, but for the most part, we’ll give them our practice shirt for the year that they can wear to Saturday treatments, etc.
One of the things I’m trying to still work out is scheduling, how do you balance that out and hold them accountable while keeping in mind that they’re college students?You and I have the luxury of working in a high school setting, so we automatically have Sundays off, that is the one day a week they have off because they are required to have at least one day off within a 7-day span. So we keep that in mind.
We use something called “Homebase” which is a scheduling app, where our students, ourselves, and our UH kids can submit their days off requests, so we honor that.
We always remember that they are students first, so they can communicate with us if they have a big test coming up and they'd like the evening off before to study, they just have to have that communication with us, and then we treat it like how if one of us had a doctor’s appointment that morning and we’d say hey, I need this off for that; so encourage them to communicate with their staff, which is the other UH students, to ensure that things get covered.
When it comes to accountability, they've got a set amount of time with us to get the hours they need, so they know that if they’re not going to be there they have to make up the hours they need.
For games that they weren’t scheduled for but show up for, how do you handle that?A great Practical Preceptor Tip is to have them ask them to ask us in advance. Especially for indoor games or baseball/softball because the space is limited, so we tell them if they do want to come and work extra to give us that heads up that way we can say yes or no.
Ensuring that you're providing an educational opportunity, how do you hand off responsibility to those students?So when the first years come in, they haven't gone over any anatomy for their assessment class so once they reach the test or the ankle, knee, hip, etc; if they're going over the ankle at the time, we say that every ankle sprain that comes in here, we want you on it, evaluating it to where you're at in your studies.
Once you complete ankle, every ankle eval we say that's yours. That way they are getting that clinical experience.
Our level 2’s, get a little more autonomy when it comes to that. If they’re struggling to remember shoulder special tests, every shoulder that comes in, go get on that eval and come back and ask us questions. We’re right there with them making sure they’re completing it correctly but we want to make sure they get as much hands-on experience with different patients.
Do you have the course syllabus of when they go over certain things?We ask to see that, we just ask them hey what did you go over today in assessment, hey what are you learning in this class and they tell us and we say okay we’ll make sure to touch on that.
We’re using a more practical time in a hands-on setting. We also meet each week to go over GHATS quiz bowl material with our kiddos and we always invite our grad students to sit in on those lectures as well.
Do you have any release of responsibility schedule or do you just have an internal feel for it?We’re not going to give them something they’re not comfortable with, we kind of feel them out in the beginning and try to build up what they're not as confident in within their realm of comfortability, because at the end of the day, they’re students too and we want them to learn and grow, within their limits.
Our UH girl this past year wanted to learn more about admin, so we said okay, you’re going to look at our student manual and we want you to go through and make these changes. So it varies based on each individual, and we always ask “What are you not comfortable with?”, and then we try to make them comfortable.
Are any other cool things that stand out?Something I learned when I was in undergrad, we called it twisted Tuesday. Every Tuesday the upperclassmen, whoever was in charge of that sport, became in charge for the day. The preceptors dressed down into what the students would wear, and those students in charge dressed up as the preceptors.
For every new injury that walked in, they corralled how to treat it, or tasked a student with rehabbing them, they set up practice, talked to coaches, delivered injury reports, etc. So that’s something I’ve taken over at Dawson, and every Thursday night during football season, our UH students are “in charge”, so they’re the first ones to go onto the field, they set up games for the day, and that is their time to get their autonomy and to feel confident in those high-pressure situations.
How do you prepare your students and staff for those Thursday nights?So we go over the way games are set up in the beginning, they usually get a game or two under their belt as a UH student and then we say alright it's your turn, so they get to see what a setup looks like, they get to understand how we run things and our expectations. We tell the coaches, hey by the way you are going to be hearing from so and so tonight they are in charge.
Of course, we are always right there behind them making sure that if there is something a little bit more extreme or if they’re out of their comfort zone and need us to step in we’re right there. We let them communicate with coaches and parents, that way they get that experience in a high-pressure situation. And they know that it's coming, we give them a heads up.
When you say you're right there with them, are you still on the sideline when they go onto the field, are you kind of halfway in between, or are you standing right beside them and just not saying anything?I am behind them, always looking over them. I’m always watching. We might stand off a little to the side especially if they don’t like someone hovering over them, but we’re always watching to make sure there's no malfeasance going on and ensuring that they’re doing everything correctly. And we do make sure that before they go do it in a game-time situation, they’ve performed the skill correctly in clinic.
What else as far as practical preceptor tips?I just always remember my time as a student, and things that helped me, things that didn't help me. We try to give them the recipe for success.
I always want to make sure that our students feel comfortable and can come to us with any issue, we always have open communication with any question they have and we always want them to learn, so by providing that safety realm of education and comradery, we want to make sure that they know that were an asset for them, we talk to them about how we came to be who we are and we want them to feel proud in their journey too.
Anything that you've seen or heard from your students over the last few years as something you should try to avoid? A lot of the times whenever we do kind of expose them in the first few weeks they feel kind of overwhelmed, but we explain to them that every situation you are in won't be a comfortable one, you are not always going to feel like it's easy.
A lot of times we get “At first I was nervous because you just kind of like put me in there.”, but we explained it, and we went through it, and it is scary but that's what our job is. Sometimes we have them drive our gator, and a lot of times they say they don't feel comfortable doing that so we say okay. We listen to what their comforts are and respect them.

Neuro 20 looks like a wet suit with electrodes for E-Stim built in. That is partially true, the materials a spandex or Dri-fit type material, and Wayne and Michael share a lot more on the Sports Medicine Broadcast.
Give me the big picture. Background and origin of the idea.–Founder DJ Schmitt was injured during service and wanted to find a way to get healthy without taking so much medication.
He used his electrical engineering degree to develop the first Neuro20 suit.
The suit is made up of a compression material(spandex).
Establish firing rates for healthy individuals and be able to choose for the AT/PT to know which one to use.
Where does the name Neuro20 come from?20 large electrodes placed strategically to engage the maximum amount of motor neurons.
Who is using it right now in sports?NHL
Olympic Athletes
NFL
D1 Athletes
What are the most common applications of neuro20?Prehab
Rehab
Active recovery
Motor education
Accessibility for the Athletic Trainer?At the moment it is not accessible to the high school population because of privacy issues.
College-level or professional level
Can you set them up and “walk away?”Patients can be set up and allowed to complete a workout session on their own.
- One of our pro sports athletes uses it after games while on the plane for recovery.
Can I use Neuro20 with my high school athletes?It is FDA-cleared for adult patients. Some youth patients have used it with waivers and clearance from their doctors but that is not the target population.

SUJI Blood Flow Restriction or BFR is changing the game with its AI-powered app. Dr. Michael MacPherson joins me and Lisette Guerrero to learn more about our new gear.
What is your 10-second sales pitch for Suji BFR? A portable, affordable, and easy-to-use gold standard, AI-powered BFR technology
The affordability of the device is one reason we chose to add Suji BFR. Discuss current pricing. Suji has found the middle ground. We are data-driven for incredible accuracy at an affordable price, never before seen in the BFR space.
Let's get into the app, it is one of the big differences from the Delphi unit we have. Our AI-powered app automatically calculates LOP for the clinician and then saves that data to a patient/athlete profile, saving at least 3-5 minutes every BFR session. The AI-powered calibration process is also incredibly robust.
All patient/athlete data is stored in a HIPAA-compliant cloud that lives in your institution. A Suji institution is your team or clinic where all your Data lives. Only you have access to it as the administrator. With Suji, you only have to calibrate as often as you deem necessary.
Discuss the continuous monitoring vs the detachable hose. With Suji Pro and its real-time pressure adjustments, you won’t need to attach the hose to adjust the pressure within the cuff.
With Suji Pro, you’ll be able to adjust the pressure on the pump in real time.
Suji BFR Pro – what should we expect? Suji Pro is Lighter, Smaller, and Hoseless.
Our users are passionate about our portability and our customizable in-app recovery sessions so we’ve made advancements in both areas. Our users also expressed the desire for real-timepressure control without attaching hoses and a pump, so you can expect greater control with Suji Pro without breaking the bank.

Backboarding the injured athlete is an ever-evolving skill. Dr. Matt Camarillo discusses it live at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update
How common are spinal cord injuries?-9-10% of injuries are spinal. About 12,000 nationally.
Looking at physicals I have a couple of athletes with previous spinal cord injuries. What are some of the things that I should be more aware of when taking care of these athletes? -Usually due to trauma or born with cervical stenosis.
-Should have a spine surgeon associated with the athletic population
We talk about spinal cord injuries, and the first thing we think about is football. We think that it is equipment-heavy and collision-based and talk about equipment removal for that. But what is the instance in other sports?-Happens in lacrosse, gymnastics, hockey, soccer, baseball, and basketball.
-Helmet and shoulder pads keep them in alignment then leave it on.
-If only a helmet probably needs to come off.
These spinal cord injuries, I believe you mentioned there are about 12,000 injuries per year. Are these spinal injuries with awareness in education are we increasing these or decreasing these?-Since 1975 they have gone down.
-A lot of spinal injuries come from automobile accidents.
Is there a reason for that?-Awareness, and if it goes away the numbers will go up again.
Moving back into narrowing down into more of an athletic training setting when working with sport athletes for example what would be our initial assessment and what would be some red flags to actually move the person onto a spine board?-Big trauma like a head-on hit you want to be careful.
-Clinical judgment.
-numbness bilaterally
The athlete just has a lot of pain.
-Trust your gut
So once you decide to stabilize someone, I know you talked about two methods to stabilize, but what is your preferred method?-6 man lift
-If you don’t have enough hands, nobody will fault you for doing a log roll.
When is it appropriate to move the neck into neutral?-It is always ok as long as you do the head or trap squeeze.
-You want to make sure you have access to the airway.
Can you talk a little bit about the difference between a head or trap squeeze?– head squeeze is more about putting you hands around the athletes head or helmet
-trap squeeze where you are putting your thumbs and finger around someone's traps and gives you more stability because you also have to add in the fatigue factor.
-Trap squeeze is more stable
Be aware that clothing could cause you to slip while holding a helmet.
I think it comes down to practice and figuring out how everything works. Because once you get it down, then when all that emotion going, if you practice over and over again it just becomes a routine.
What are some tips you have for someone who is working with an equipment-intensive sport, like hockey, that they are not familiar with the equipment?-Practice
-Use equipment managers to become familiar with equipment.
What does it look like once they are at the hospital?-equipment removal and go into a cervical collar.
-Then straight to a CT scan is #1.
-Transport to a level 1 hospital because you don’t want to have to move to multiple locations.
Can you talk about differences between places that have stopped using spine boarding techniques like in motorcycle accidents?-Two different mechanisms and two different thoughts.
-Make sure everyone is on the same page
-You can always ask to talk to a supervisor because these are generally big EMS areas and you can’t control what everyone does.
Can you talk about the order you take the piece off of the helmet?-Side pieces off first. Allows to flip and gives access to the airway
CPR with shoulder pads. With a spinal cord injury and you are having to do CPR and you are removing the equipment, you would leave the shoulder pads in place as long as you open them up?-Open them
-If getting into CPR take them off because it has become life-threatening.
Do you have any recommendations for an AT who does not have a lot of volunteers or staff and might be working alone? You have coaches. Train the coaches. Coaches are always there. Make sure your coaches are in line with helping you.
The highest incidents seem to be in high school/middle school. Can you talk about why?-Proper tackling technique
-Old equipment
Is there anything else we didn’t touch upon that you wanted to add?-Education and preparation are the biggest things.

The post Backboarding the Injured Athlete appeared first on The Sports Medicine Broadcast.
Protect3D joins medicine and technology to help Athletes return to the sport safer and maybe faster. Kevin Gehsmann joins me to share their story and how Athletic Trainers can get their athletes braced.
Where did the idea come from?Engineering student
Liked 3D printing
Daniel Jones, the quarterback at Duke, went down with a clavicle fracture. They decided their engineering project would help Daniel and other elite athletes needing protection.
Customized for his unique needs and ROM
What has been the most difficult hurdle for Protect3d?In the early days, we were recognized by the NFL and won $50,000 and Superbowl tickets.
The pandemic caused a lot of challenges.
Every device we make has a positive impact on the athlete and their performance
Share a success story you enjoy.Clavicle pads reduce the risk of re-injury and increase the confidence of the player and health care team.
It is also the original pad or brace that birthed the idea.
Outside of your own clinics where have you had doctors adapting this style of bracing?We started with elite athletes and have worked with orthopedic surgeons and athletic trainers.
An ankle/foot orthotic is a new brace to help with foot drop.
We had a D1 athlete participate in games with a Protect3D brace for foot drop.
What do you see as a hurdle for secondary setting adoption of Protect3d braces?The cost of the product is one hurdle.
Setting up a system for billing on demand can be an obstacle as well.
Are these braces something that could be printed on your everyday, at-home printer?Due to the material, printer, and the need to control different variables as a medical device, they are not currently printed at home devices.
There may be options in the future as we grow and develop.
Want to test out Protect3D?Have an athlete needing a brace?
Willing to give me your honest feedback on the podcast?
Send me an email and maybe follow it up with a social media post.
Give me the story (protect patient privacy)
If it works out then we will collaborate to get you a custom 3D-printed brace for your athlete.
Contact Protect3D

The post Labral Rehab with Russ Paine appeared first on The Sports Medicine Broadcast.
Work Right Northwest was the best fit for Jody during his current stage of life. He loves the industrial setting and the support the company offers for personal growth.
Jody, Start with your AT story.From Waco
Was not enjoying playing football and quit to become the student AT for softball.
Chris Hargrove was the AT that me under his wing
Graduated from Baylor as an AT working with some legendary ATs like Mike Simms
Jody moved to Lincoln Nebraska to get a master’s degree and work with their Track & Field teams.
2007-2009 did a fellowship with US Olympic and Paralympic Track and Field.
That led to internships with USA teams.
He has worked with a lot of providers throughout the US and learned different perspectives as well as made a lot of connections.
13-year Outreach Coordinator at BSW
2012 I began the GA partnership with Baylor and grew the program to about 16 schools.
How does WorkRight fit into that?Auto industry, shipping and delivery, food, manufacturing, and warehouses across the United States.
We focus on being proactive with industrial athletes.
These workers are at the same station doing the same repetitive motions for 8-10 hours per day.
We are limited to OSHA first aid guidelines.
There are plenty of at-home exercise options or opportunities.
Better posture.
Improved hydration.
Early symptom intervention – 15-minute eval on site.
Tell me a few storiesOften times the job is the first time the workers have benefits that include healthcare.
We provide a list of healthcare coverage professionals in the area and establish relationships with them to help facilitate care.
One line worker was having continued upper trap and cervical issues. After a few visits, he was able to work pain-free.
One of our ladies had posture issues and we were basically the only medical option for her.
I have thought about how I could change into the industrial setting. Walk me through the process.We work 4/10s with someone on duty 24/7
Mon-Friday. dependent on site
We do a lot of 3-day weekends.
Vacation time: can accrue up to 2 weeks of vacation time
Holidays: get a lot of major holidays off…but this is site-dependent too.
Manual therapy skills are important.
Taping and first aid skills are important.
Start learning the lingo.
Visit LearnRightNW.com and take the entry-level course.
How do you build connections with clients at Work Right NW?Listening
Seeing them at their job
What do I need to consider before making the move?
Making that big of a change will come with some hiccups.
Research the company
Know the details
Know their injury software
Learn the lingo
OSHA first aid principles
- One of my biggest deciding factors was their personal growth support.

Dr. Shea Stark works KT Tape into her daily practice of treating patients as a chiropractor. KT Tape recently released the ProOxygen tape and her patients seem to like it.
Christmas SaleKT will hold its 12 Days of KT in December. On November 30, the 12 Days of KT will be announced; it is a grand prize giveaway where every purchase on-site between Dec 1-Dec 12 equals one entry for the grand prize giveaway. On Monday, December 4, the KT Pro Oxygen Tape Pro Oxygen will be highlighted as a great gift for the endurance dad who shows everyone up at his weekend Ironman events. You can visit https://www.kttape.com/ to enter the 12 Days of KT for the chance to win a Grand Prize Giveaway.
Dr. Stark, what is your favorite use of KT Tape?Shoulders and knees
KT Tape is a supportive tape and not a structural tape.
It is less of a restrictive tape.
Joint decompression
What is your least favorite?I do not like to use it around the feet or hands because it does not hold up well.
Taping in a crease can really irritate the skin.
A lot of patients record the taping so they can replicate
Tips and Tricks
Clean the skin with soap and water or hand sanitizer
Make sure the skin is clean and DRY
Do not stretch the ends or anchors
- Increases irritation and blisters
Tape doesn't stick well to itself
Tape doesn’t stick well to hair
It is a heat-activated adhesive so don't take it off while hot and sweaty or in the shower.
How do you feel about Tapes that have a heating or cooling effect?Some have a menthol incorporated into the tape but that can cause irritation
These effects are for the skin and tricking the skin.
KT Tape recently launched the Pro Oxygen. Can you explain how the Pro Oxygen works and its benefits?Patients seem to love it
It is an infrared powder infused into the tape and reflects the body's own heat as infrared heat.
You do not feel the heat but it helps with the oxygenation of the cells.
This can help keep the oxygen flowing during endurance-type sports.
It has the pro adhesive that will last 4-7 days
It is heat-activated, so rub it in
Give it 5-10 minutes to set up
Over-stretching is a big problem
If you stretch the tissue you won't need to pull as much on the tape
Slight forward bend when applying to the back…
Knee – put the knee into 90 degrees so you stretch the tissue

RankOne data makes it easy to tell your story as an Athletic Trainer. If you collect it then you can pull everything you need with a few clicks. If you need help just call and they can guide you through.
What are some of the common things you RankOne sees from ATs?End-of-year audits
Newspapers seeking info
Easily filter through the data that has been entered
We take data security seriouslyData transfer is really important in security.
We work with a lot of partners to make the transfer of data as seamless as possible
We partner through our API to integrate those partners.
Do you have a complete online solution for forms?We put the medical history form online
We have included a physical upload form so parents can include a scan of the form.
There are definitely pros and cons for both.
Going Back to Data CollectionOther than concussion reporting integration what are you seeing?
Justifying the need for Athletic Trainers
- Reports show how many treatments and using the CPT codes can demonstrate value
The proof of your value is in the data.Until something bad happens the ATs value is usually glanced over.
It gives you a great way to look back and reflect.
Seen anything weird?We get calls requesting additions often.
So we add fields when it helps them collect that data.
We like to get a consensus before we make any big changes by checking with the Athletic Trainers.
Ease of use features with RankOne Data:Print Paperwork
Run Reports
Messaging within RankOneWe are creating a more robust messaging system that allows two-way communication.
It will message the email that the account was created with.
Any features you have cut?There have been quite a few changes that are in response to user feedback.
What are we doing to prevent the dreaded August 1st breakdown?We have set up some API boundaries for our partners.
Load-tested the servers.

Kim Lowry and
Nutrition Myths are so close, so easy, so trendy…Kim Lowry discusses some of the Sports Nutrition myths with Ryan Collins at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update.
Protein2-2.2 grams of protein if they are trying to bulk up
Total calories are a common misconception
You can not bulk up Muscle but not add any fat…almost universally
Spread it out throughout the day
Nutrient TimingResearch is mixed – some say within an hour increases your muscle growth
You can ap into muscle synthesis about every 3-4 hours
High Protein snacks and mealsNuts
Low-fat cheese sticks
Greek yogurt
Deli turkey
P3 packets
Protein bars and shakes
Adding chicken to your pasta dish
RAMEN – You can add peanut butter
Or peanuts
I like to use the “Tasty App” and search for dorm room ramen for healthier options
Eggs are another good option
Creatine is BAD…Pretty much all of the nutrition myths have been disproven in all healthy usage of creatine.

Sean Hwang discusses his first SWATA experience with Dr. DJ Gilliland.
Tell us your story, SeanKorean American
Went to UT Austin.
US Army field artillery officer for 3 years
Went to chiropractor undergrad for a semester
I had been doing something similar to AT with my amateur Korean soccer teams
I shadowed John Houston at the University of Houston Women’s Basketball
SWATA Student Track?I was not expecting to learn a lot because they made it out to be a fun hang-out.
Dr. Knoblauch’s lecture about balance
Being up to date on current trends
Cannabis lecture from Dr. Konin
Have you met anyone knew?I would love to…but I have not really.
Dr. Harrison: we will take you around and let you shake hands with everyone
Does UH pay for the students to go to SWATA?Nope they fundraise
Last year's group did a great job fundraising.
The stickers and bracelets were a pretty big hit
How many students ended up coming from UH?There were about 20 students.
Our preceptors and partners jump on the opportunity to get the students here.
If you are passionate about learning new things then coming to SWATA is the place to be.
What has been the most unique thing you have learned so far?Cannabis is not THC. CBD can be used without it causing an impact on your THC test levels.
Suggestions from SeanI would like to see more nonathletic setting workshop courses here at SWATA.
Tory Trevino asks: what are you learning as professionals?DG: CBD talks
DG: Seeing people I have not seen in years
LH: Bre’Layshia’s talk included a personality trait test and have mock conversations with different personality types.

Storytime with buzz is just that, fun stories from an old school Athletic Trainer still practicing. Thanks, Bethpage Consulting for helping to get the SMB out to SWATA 2023 in Arlington.
I have been attending SWATA for about 38 years
I broke my collarbone playing football and then became the team manager. Sam Aguilara came to teach the coaches about Athletic Training products. I knew I could do the stuff he was showing the coaches.
The next thing I knew they were sending me to AT clinics at colleges.
I have met a lot of great people during my career as an Athletic Trainer
Joel Kregerberg was the assistant AT for the Oilers while I was an intern. I got to tape Earl Cambell. He greatly deflated my ego when he told me it was the worst tape job he ever had.
Give me some more storytimeHouston Rodeo got me started with Justin Sports Medicine and Truman Spoon Sports Medicine
Did you get autographs?Not really, I was always around the people and did not consider it.
Where was your first job as an AT?Seminole High School is about an hour from Lubbock.
I moved to Macaney with the head coach
Then the Houston Oilers called and I moved to Houston
Take us back to Seminole HSI taught driver's ed in the morning.
It is a small school with a small AT Facility
We were really good at basketball and gymnastics
I taught a job at the Air Force base with firemen and nurses
Who are some of the mentees that have impacted you?Valerie Tinklepaugh-Hairston – with her impact on college sports and SWATA
David Traylor – SWATA Hall of Honor
Southlake Carroll High School is being run by two of my former ATs
TSATA Hall of HonorThis award brings a smile to my face every time I think about it.
What did you dream about being as a kid?My dad was a pharmacist
My brother was a pharmacist and MD
I thought about following them
Storytime – What sticks out the most?A Houston Oiler went down and was basically numb from the neck down
We backboarded him
That was his last game to ever play.
He was a good friend of mine.
My wallet and everything I needed were in my bag that the equipment managers packed up since I went to the hospital with him. We almost got stranded in Kansas City.

Preparedness to throw is a whole new process of injury prevention. Chris Gallina joins Ryan Collins live at the Sports Medicine Update 2023
What are we looking for as parentsVolume
Radar gunsBAD in Youth Athletes
Rest for throwing Athletes
We usually suggest no athlete should be pitching for more than 7 months
Maybe pitch for 2 seasons then focus on fielding and hitting
Pitchers should not play pitcher and catcher as well
Breaking ballsJames Andrews – you should not throw a curve ball until you can shave
Mechanics is key during the pitch
Fastball and changeup are very effective for youth athletes
What are the signs and symptoms to look forMedial elbow pain is number one
The posterior cuff is sore on the Youth Athlete after almost every pitching outing
When do we shut them down?Flex
Rotation
Cross body abduction
External Rotation GainIs it GIRD or adaptation?

Concussion technology has come a long way in helping us understand and manage concussions. Dr. Summer Ott discusses some of the options available and who they best fit.
What is a digital assessment?* Started in the ’90s, * Professional teams * Not meant to replace traditional assessments * A combination of tests is still being used
Pros:
- Efficient
- Easy access and use of mobile devices
- Allow tracking
- Remote testing
Cons:
- What/which app is reliable
- Who is using/trained to use
- Environment
Considerations when deciding on a digital tool* Budget * Feasibility * Is it comprehensive
Age range ConsiderationsComparison / Contrast different tests available
- Example: Impact, Axon, ANAM
- 20 min to complete
- Test Cognitive Skills and symptom
- Ex. C3 Logic, Sway, King Devick
- Used with Handheld devices
- Quicker to complete 10-15 min
- Offer Alternative stimuli
- Important to look at “What is the cost?”
- Does the cost correlate to the effectiveness
What tools and how many are practitioners using in assessing Concussions
How do you pick a digital tool? / What is the right choice?
What is VOMS?Looking at: eye movements, eye tracking, convergence, and rating symptoms while performing assessments
Symptom Checklist-
Can be broken down into clusters: Physical, Emotional, Sleep, Cognitive,
Case Management example:
Natasha Law
- The Law and UIL sports vs Club sports on concussion
Considerations for Special populations (504, at-risk)
- The Law and Academic Accommodations/Recommendations

Eddie Smith shares how the state powerhouse Katy Tigers are reducing the fear of hamstring injuries during rehab for their athletes.
There have been 6000 papers published about hamstring injuries
The research is all over the place.
The only real consensus is Nordic hamstring curls
We start with NSAIDs
The next day we start with movement
COMPEX
Ankle movement
Heel slides
As soon as they can walk pain-free we get them back on the field
We use short lever arm exercises
We use Catapult for GPS data and can help know when our players are working within a safe range.
If it is a larger injury, how do you talk them through the mental aspect?Know your athlete
Communicate with all of the stakeholders
Athlete
Coach
Mom and dad
0-80% is easy, but 80-100% is the really hard part.
Educate them on some of the options: PRP, Cryo, …anything that will help them feel better.
Mentally they are prepared, physically they are not.
How do we reduce the recurrence of injury?The first two weeks are most commonly the time frame for reinjury
Repeat the exposure incident over and over again.
I like to have them sprint over and over again.
How do we recreate sprinting for the kids that can not?We want to train on the speed-strength continuum as much as possible
Gymaware is the bar speed program we use.
Nordic Hamstring curl
- Highest-rated prevention exercise
- Activates the highest quantity of muscle fibers
How can we implement “reducing the fear” into off-season or pre-season programming?Implement the eccentric
Are there any hamstring quad deficits

Youth Sports Safety is Jim Mackies passion project. With over 50 years working as an AT, he can sit back and turn the profession over to the younger crowd, but instead, he continues to give time and effort to help improve healthcare for all athletes
Mr. Mackie have you ever had to perform CPR?Had a coach drop dead on the goal line after a game.
As I am headed that way I see the firetruck pulling out, and this was before we AEDs readily available.
Jim, What is happening in Youth Sports Safety?Florida is # 1 in sport safety but much to be done. Laws re Concussion, CWI, AED, EAP, etc. but much education and compliance are needed.
There are a lot of causes or task forces, why did you choose Youth Sports Safety?Obviously, there was a big void legislatively & in the knowledge base. Allows me to put many years of experience back into the community to advocate and educate.
Where is it headed?Progress is being made but we have to see more implementation of best practices done consistently. With many schools without an AT there requires more district education, especially in our rural communities.
What roadblocks are we seeing?Resistance and slow to change the culture, especially in youth leagues. Many are volunteer-driven and they rely on what their personal experience was and not best practices as well as the effort it takes to implement.
We have discussed social media a lot recently, what role does it play in Youth Sports Safety?Podcasts can help to educate and influence the public. They see a lot of situations that happen and yet are dismissed or diminished in a 24-hour news cycle.
Youth Sports Safety Podcast – tell me about that.Started in 2021
We have been opportunistic and gotten some really high-profile doctors and Athletic Trainers.
Call to action: Take the time to educate kids, parents, and coaches on the best practices. Raise the expectations of those you entrust your child to at their sports venue. Take the steps to create a venue-specific EAP, learn CPR, have AEDs accessible everywhere, and connect with an AT.

Females Athlete Care is not the same as male athlete care. Dr. Jill Moschelli is making a career specializing in it. Megan Smith, the chairperson for Women In Athletic Training, leads the interview.
https://mm.linkedin.com/posts/cassie-monaco-2803b3202_flathead-valley-high-school-students-win-activity-7034338310130974721-xSV0Looking into your bio, you specialize in Female Sports Medicine. Can you share with us what that entails?Female athletes are just different than men
Female athlete triad.
Concussion recovery is different
Predisposed to different types of injuries
How popular is being a female sports medicine-specific doctor?It is not really common, but some of it is due to comfort level.
There has been an increased discussion about women training on their menstrual cycles and understanding how each phase affects your training. When someone is looking into this- do you have any recommendations on how to get started or a basis of understanding while training during different phases?Educating in general is the biggest first step
Educate them about their own body and their cycle
Know what is normal for you and be aware of what changes look like.
Some of those changes can be due to oral contraceptives for whatever reasons.
Basic menstrual tracking app.
Perceived performance scales but nothing has been clear or consistent…so more research is needed.
How do we ask: are you on your period?
Make it not taboo…make it part of their general health
I am going to ask a lot of questions and if you feel like you can't or do not want to answer that is fine.
“How has your menstrual cycle been?”
“Are you on any medicines that would impact it?”
We bring up topics like that at the beginning of the season so it is less taboo and breaks through the barrier.
Over the years I have taken many female-specific continuing eds, but one stood out to me which was pelvic floor dysfunction in female athletes. Is this something that you’re seeing in the clinic or refer out to a pelvic floor PT? Can you share how this can affect the training of our female athletes?It happens more than we are aware of. It is not discussed as much.
Up to about 30% of elite female athletes experience incontinence.
Impact sports have a greater incidence.
Bringing up the conversation more often helps teach people about it.
Finding a pelvic floor therapist can be difficult
Stress Incontinence:
Inability to control the flow of urine during stress.
How can Athletic Trainers bridge that gap?The more we talk about it the more it normalizes it.
You can be the first line of defense for those athletes.
Maybe set up a regular schedule to discuss it so they know to expect it.
Have the resources available or posted for them.
Are there areas of female patient care that you believe would be beneficial for athletic trainers to be better versed on? What are those areas? Is there training that you recommend?Reproductive/menstrual cycle/ pelvic floor in your education as you get your degree.
Spend time discussing the differences between male and female athletes.
Have grand round discussions on female athlete care.
Females recover differently from concussions
Timetables are different for females
The treatments are similar but they might take longer.
The Female Athlete Conference every other year in Boston to tackle issues concerning female athlete care.

Post Exercise Recovery Nutrition is one of the topics Brett Singer addresses with high school, college, and professional sports in Houston as part of the Ironman Sports Medicine team.
Doubling carb intake prior to an eventCliff Bar and Gatorade
Gatorade and a banana
Applesauce and Gatorade
Gummy bears or Fruit snack
Choose any two of them and that should get you to the right amount.
Is there a chart for glycemic reference?Brett uses the USOC recovery chart
Glycemic Index Chart by National Library of Medicine
Post-exercise nutrition can minimize the NEED after for a recovery drinkMilk is more effective at rehydration than just water.
If you are eating then you probably do not need the recovery drink
Electrolyte drink vs GatoradeSituations dictate different needs.
The 10-year-old kid will likely need less than an adult
Sodium and Chloride are the most important components of the recovery drinks
Professional soccer players may lose 6-7 pounds during the course of practice
A meal and water with an electrolyte drink between meals.
Youth bodies can handle the heat better?2% of body weight loss shows visible effects of performance
In general, water should suffice if trying to recover 12 ounces (kid) versus 72 ounces (adult)
What are some dehydration signs to look for in Youth Sports?Losing abnormal amounts of sweat
Headaches
Nausea
Fatigue
Cramping
Weighing in and out should be done with caution.
High School and Rec athletes – Are there ideal mixes? There is not one that has all of the needs of an athlete.
Most products are insufficient for high-level athlete carb needs
3 to1 or 4 to 1 ratio is ideal for carbs/protein but needs to look at the big picture.
20-40 grams of protein
High-glycemic foods in recovery are OKCreatine and Post Exercise Recovery NutritionI do not push it for high school athletes but it is safe.
Following the guidelines is important
The benefit is really for the high-level athletes
It also helps with glycogen replenishment
Whey vs casein protein?It does matter how much protein you take in?As far as protein synthesis goes 20-40 grams is the general window
Adding glycogen to protein does not improve glycogen uptake
Focus on carbs if there are small windows between competitions or training sessions.

Don't be that preceptor who is just trying to get CEUs or the one who only uses MAT students as grunt labor.
Being a Mentor is a choice. A choice to give of yourself for the good of others. So is adoption. DJ tell me some of your adoption story.Taylor has been such a fantastic part of our life. She is a part of my life as an Athletic Trainer and my life as a preceptor and mentor.
Worst preceptor story you have heard?Worst mistake I made as a preceptor was right out of Grad School.
- My responsibility is to the team and athletes, not the students.
- I did not want to invest in the students
- I did not want to give up control
- I only allowed them to set up the field
- It is finally my time to be the Licensed Health Care Provider and make decisions
- It is about me now
Communicate the roles and expectations
Some other bad examples?I am not getting any feedback
I am doing what they ask but I am not getting any feedback
How to avoid being average as a preceptor:Do not complain about students on social media
What are some of the struggles for preceptors?Accountability
Set expectations
- Have an orientation
- What can the program cover before the kids get to you
- What do you need to cover
Dress code
Look at this as a semester-long interview process.
For scheduling purposes
- We try to keep a really structured process
- Immersion should be a minimum 40 hours per week
- 85 hours /2 weeks
- 1 day off every 7
- And at least 8 hours between shifts
Shout out to my administrators and my co-worker for giving us the opportunity to be preceptors for U of H MAT.

Dr. Josh Yellen presented Leadership in Crisis at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update. Shawn ready had some questions to follow up on his talk.
Leadership in COVID – Planning in athletic – speaking to your AD, your coaches, school leaders…this is one setting.
How do we as qualified healthcare providers help function in the world?
I am Head FOOTBALL Athletic Trainer or I am an AT with a lot of experience with football.
Compare primary care vs ATThere is a shortage of primary care physicians.
The definition of Athletic Trainer and primary care doctor is almost identical
Practicing Scared – We as directors need to understand the CAATE standards, the state practice acts, and the BOC requirements.
We need to keep pushing into the village of medicine.
PA is a master's degree program but is much more respected.
We were comfortable staying in the sports setting for many years.
To have direct access to patients you have to have a physician oversite.
Bachelor's degrees will not be reimbursed by CMS.
WHY DO WE USE OTHER PROFESSIONS TO EXPLAIN OUR PROFESSION?
Medical Model's effect on Leadership In Crisis – The Physician is the top and we are all extensions of the physician.
If we do not move into a better role and stake our ground then someone is going to take our role.
Sports Medicine Student Aides – appropriate vernacular is important
This gives the impression that a high school student without training can do your job

Dustin Rush – What you see is what you getHe does a great job of letting students take chances and risks.
Dustin has a fantastic debrief with the students.
Frank Perez – He is a tough preceptor with a ton of experience. He is really good.He spent several years with Cirque De Soleil and brings dance medicine into the equation
He has a large administrative component to his site.
- Great communication skills with coaches and admin, and team docs

- Always an ear to listen or a shoulder to guide them…we need to guide them more
Administrative work:* Documentation practices are on par with what is needed for professional communication * Team management – day-to-day injury report presentations * Working alongside the nutritionist for the team * Physician referrals * Scheduling + Second-year students should be involved with scheduling and communicating with the opponents' medical staff. + 5% of the BOC is now about Administration + Allow the MAT students to schedule the student coverage + Teach them how to manage the student aides + Allow them to create an evaluation system + Have them look at and update the policies and procedures. + Have them look at and update the EAP + Teach them to be a mentor to the kids + Understanding professional boundaries
Mike Ramirez – * “You can not work in the NFL unless you work at a college” * Great with organization and teaching the students what to expect. * He puts students in charge of making sure the gear is ready * They learn inventory * Real-world problem solving * Writing rehab plans
Brenna Ellis – She transformed the experience for our students. They leave feeling like they have grown as an individual and professionals.
AT is a family.
Supervised Autonomy – The preceptor should be the patient's advocate
Build up the student's trust and confidence by having mock scenarios in downtime.
The really good preceptors take advantage of that time.
- EMS situations
- Knowing the rules of the sport
- Use the scaffolding approach to build trust
- Give them more freedom in lower-pressure situations first.
- Give them a comfortable environment to fall forward
From the students:JP: I felt like my hands were being held the whole time… I was either setting up the field or observing.
JP: One preceptor gave us printed steps for taping. So we could use them during independent practice
JP: Having a written plan for the athletes to follow helps us grow, but also gives me the opportunity to develop a plan.

Cryotherapy Research discussion with Sean Kennedy, live from the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update. What is current science telling us?
Cryotherapy – What do you tell them?We have a lot of interpretations, so it makes it hard for there to be clear guidance
Cryo after injuries – there is no hard science about dosing for ice
Think about the messaging (chemical and nerve) that may be delayed
There is a place to allow the swelling to do its job.
Evidence shows compression edges out ice but can be used together easily.
Listen to the theories and allow your mind to be open. Do not be a stagnant clinician.
Cold water emersionWe used to believe it would send them into shock and the heat would stay in the core
All position statements say full body immersion is the standard to lower core temperature
Joint application only could take 80 minutes to cool the body
It could be 3-5 minutes with cold water immersion
Cryotherapy Recovery from workoutWhat is the value of reducing the perceived soreness from the damage that was done?
If you are trying to mask the fatigue by ice bath you are increasing the risk of injury.

Supply chain issues are still causing problems for Athletic Trainers. Thankfully Paul Calloway has the inside scoop to help us stay ahead of it.
AEDs – there has been a shortage for a little while.Shortage in components and an uptick with purchasing after Damar Hamlin incident
Hospital suppliers have more access than sports medicine suppliers
Aerosols Tough to get – QDA, Tuff Skin, Adhesive, Cold Spray
- All are unavailable for the foreseeable future possibly until 2024.
- Magic spray and stick em’
- May not be available in as many varieties
Shortages cause price increases
M-tack from Mueller is a pump spray
Gatorade chews Still in short supply
They have basically taken those out of the options
Cliff bar energy chew is an alternative
FoamThere has been a bit of pressure in the foam market.
Pre-wrap and under wrap continue to be problems for sourcing
Price increases should be expected
Looking at about $1 per roll
OTC meds More so with Medique brand products
They have been struggling for about 2 years to get things leveled out.
You may need to buy in the bulk bottle
Athletic TapeCoach tape from J&J was bought by BSN Medical
The price has gone up but it is back and available again.
Elasticon has been brought back as well
Zonas 1-inch box tape is back in production as well.
Other concernsThere tends to be consolidation of SKUs…like there may be fewer options for ankle braces
Mueller has discontinued some of the medkit lines.
Not a whole lot of new products out this yearPrices will continue to generally increase
FreightWe are paying more in freight now than last year. Even if it says free shipping, it still has to come out of the costs.
TipsIf there are a few sacred items put no substitutions but be willing to consider alternatives on most other products.
Andover was bought by Millican…they are the same, but just now switching branding
They did discontinue some of the niche items

Patellar Instability is a specialty for Dr. Jeremy Rush's orthopedic practice in San Antonio.
Tell me about the first patellar instability you remember seeing.Chronic instability up to dislocation
It is a very heterogeneous group
Patella dislocation and patella subluxation
And patella instability
Addressing the first-time dislocator
Be super aggressive with the rehab
Step one: reduce the dislocation
Brace them for a week but then get them moving
Try to get started in PT within one week
See them back about 6 weeks and then again at 3 months
At 6 weeks with effusion makes you think there is a loose body.
Ability to do straight leg raises
Apprehension with manual pressure
Instability vs dislocation.Dislocation = all the way out – 95% are lateral
- Usually traumatic events
- Some are from anatomic risk factors
Subluxation is partially out of the groove
Instability is a chronic form of Subluxation
First timer tipsGet them to relax
Move them into extension
Calm them and even cover the dislocation if needed
Maybe get them up and it could self-reduce
Top patient complaints/ indicators of patellar instabilityKnee feels unstable or it is slipping
Or my knee just hurts
Buckling
Recurrent effusion
Anterior knee pain
Start with rehab
Target
Positive patellar apprehension
J-Sign
Predisposed to instabilityPatella alta
Women are at higher risk due to q-angle hyperlaxity
Rotational abnormalities
On examJ-sign
Apprehension
Lateral pressure
MRI on chronic instability
MPFL damage
If the injury is unclear then I get an MRI to rule out any sort of cartilage or loose body.
A huge effusion indicates a loose body.

Eccentric contractions have long been known to improve muscle hypertrophy. Ryan Collins joins Clayton Berrang to discuss Eccentrics vs Tempo training and how to implement both.
Where in the timeline are the athletes?Once they can move without bracing
Strength Deficit Eccentric training benefitsSupermaximal load and trying to move that through the eccentric motion
A load that can not move through the concentric movement
How would you recommend emphasizing eccentric training?
Tempo training is a safe place to start but it affects the muscle adaptations
Most ATs and PTs are probably already doing this.
EX: single leg squat – box progression –
Reverse engineer sprintingBrakes are going to be important to anything we move
But eccentric training offers so much more than just the brakes
Triphasic training
When do you transition from eccentric training?
Time of year and sports demands
Talk about the cycles for footballSummer is great for super maximal loads for the experienced lifters
Beginners lifted should be doing triphasic
The full stretch-shortening cycle would be in season
Tempo training is one of the easiest forms of progression for an athlete's body
Most adaptations from the eccentric load
Increased reps give some adaptations
Tempo is the lowest ROI
Box squats exampleTempo training and progress through the tempo training
4×5 with a 3 sec – 4-5 and up to 8-second tempo
Now we use slightly heavier weight with about a 2-second tempo
5 – 7 – 10 – 12 reps progression
Progress through load
4×5 and increase the load over the next 4 weeks
How do we set up a supermaximal eccentric?Rack setup with safety catches and partners or team lift it back up
We are looking at 5/10% above our maximal level
We can do 5 sets of 1
Is there a tempo in this eccentric?Move it as slowly as possible
The nordic hamstring curl is an example
“What works works”
If you move slowly you will move slow, move fast to move fast”
Late RTP 6 months out ACL?Overload plays in
Their body is avoiding positions needed for power due to injury.
Post activation potentiationBands are a great tool
Apply them in multiple planes of motion.
You can pull them into an overloaded position
Forward-backward lunge with the band

Mobilization of the Athletic spine with Brian Duncan and Shawn Ready live at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update
Who is worried about spine manipulation?My fear is always the lack of proper evaluation
You need all the myotomes, dermatomes, mobility, and descriptions.
You are not going to manipulate someone who just went in for a tackle and is now having pain.
Red flags are more obvious, but what about yellow flags of mobilization?Going through your 5DsDysphasia
Dysarthria
Dysoplia
Dizziness
Drop attack
3NsNystagmus
Nausea
Manipulation is a skill similar to any special test we do… it's like an anterior drawer
HVLA manipulations
High-Velocity Low Amplitude
Knowing your anatomy is crucial if you are going to do mobilizations.

Jamie shares How It Ended, an amazing partnership between AT and AD to transform the culture of sports medicine in a community.
Phot credit: https://jamiekaywoodall.wordpress.com/ Jamie, go back over the timeline.DME – I wanted to be in the high school setting so I knew DME was short term
A&M Consolidated – 2 years, then I left to be the head AT, open a new school, and work alongside my husband.
Rudder in Bryan ISD 11 years – AT and public health mirror each other in the area of prevention. I felt called to go into public health and work with low socioeconomic status. We housed a few homeless students during our time there. During the master's, I got connected with HR and the school safety department. Felt like I hit a ceiling and thought it may be because we were married and did not want to put a spouse in charge of the other.
The move to Brenham would really challenge me to grow.
Assistant AD of Sports Med in Bryan ISD
Brenham – 4 years
Waller ISD
Coach Allen, where are you now?Giddings Texas – DC / Head AT
Houston Stratford HC/CC – 16 years
Head AD in Benham because we wanted to retire
Bastrop allowed me to be just the AD not a coach anymore.
What is the legacy y’all left?Coach Allen – Do what is best for kids, even if it is tough for adults.
Jamie – I would hope people would see how deeply I care about making the whole system.
I hope that through my work, people would see that we win when there is a team approach.
You discussed the talks at SWATA and NATA, what do you want to clarify?The AT department needed a lot of tender loving care.
When I got into I realized how much prep work I needed to do.
Use the PASS or SSSA to guide you and make sure you evaluate your program
I was in the middle of getting my hands dirty and realized I did not have sinks. Coach Allen came in and made it happen within a few days.
Coach Allen, speak to the AT, how do they start the process of building what y’all built?A lot of times there is a natural divide between the 2
Athletic Trainers are fearful the coach won’t listen and follow instructions
Coaches are fearful every player will be set out.
Be willing to pitch in and do the extra things.
Build trust
Call to action:ATs – try not to take on responsibilities that are not yours and then let it become your job or expected of you.
If I did someone else's job, I would remind them to take care of it.
Jamie is one of the most efficient people I know. She handles people and situations really well.
She went out and earned the changes and I was able to go in and ask for it.

Dr. Luara Purdy goes over what we know at this point about Damar Hamlin and the importance of accurate medical history.
Dr. Purdy, what do we know at this point about Damar Hamlin?Has a background of sickle cell trait
Almost no commentary of known information about his heart.
He suffered sudden cardiac death and was resuscitated
Usually, the athlete has something leading up to an episode with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Underwent induced hyperthermia and was put into a coma
If there are not any problematic findings he could be cleared to play again and perform rehab.
Any inaccurate info out there we can help correct?COVID virus and vaccine – causes mild carditis
COVID is not the only virus or vaccine that causes this.
The heart is a muscle and our bodies are filled with muscles from head-to-toe
Most viruses cause inflammation of muscles.
The flu makes your whole body hurt…muscles.
Myocarditis hurts every time your heart beats
A colleague had a kid turn in a physical without documentation of being insulin dependent. What are your thoughts?This is so dangerous – everyone involved needs to be aware and know how to deal with the possible complications.
They need to have insulin available and food available all the time.
WE WAN YOU TO PLAY…safely
Dr. Purdy, what are some non-reported medical conditions that cause problems?Asthma
Anaphylaxis
Any history of previous injury
Head injuries
Vision
Discuss the sports physical versus a routine / developmental physical.Most athletes are going to feel healthy
A routine annual physical is designed to take a look at your health head to toe and risk factors.
We have limited time with them during this.
By having a sports physical we give two opportunities for the doctor to see the patient. And the sports physical would be scheduled for more time.
Telehealth – The physical exam would change the outcome
We do have smart stethoscopes but we are not there yet.
Still get your sports physical in person if at all possible
Offload the other visits to telehealth and free up the doctor for more in-person time
Athletic Trainers are the first line of defense in protecting the athletes.
If you see something please say something.

The Good Life, relationships are built, trust is established and culture is changing. Jamie and Eliot discuss what the AT / AD relationship looked like once they got past the rough spots.
Coach Allen, what has been your favorite part about working with Jamie?She is such a problem solver. She anticipates problems that are going to occur.
Jamie, Your favorite part about working with Coach Allen?Very patient and graceful when things do not go his way.
He did not shut down when I came on too strong.
“Is it best for the kids?” is a driving force for him
What was your biggest sports medicine victory together?When I first got into it I wanted to do a lot but I had to clean and organize everything first.
I knew I was going to forget something big like AEDs.
Bart Peterson had a checklist he shared with Jamie that was part of the PASS system.
This really helped us prevent compliance slip-ups.
We changed the culture of healthcare in Brenham. The ripple effect.
The overall respect our community and school had for ATs
We built up to having 4 ATs.
Parents and students were asking for it.
What are some of your smaller wins?* I needed a window door if I had to have a closed-door conversation. * Hydration systems – moved away from trash cans * Radios * Lockers for student ATs * We shut down the gym AT and moved everything to the field house AT Facility. * Having the plan written out on the whiteboard allowed us to collaborate more.
Any regrets?Coach Allen – Not really, have not worked with anyone I trusted as much as Jamie.
I came in too strong.
When I left Brenham it was an unexpected change. It was not something I was looking for and therefore was a little unprepared.
There were some organizational things I had not prioritized because of the bigger issues.
Talk about the Master’s DegreeI got my degree in public health because I was ready to leave the profession.
Through the master’s I learned how happy I was in the profession
In Brenham, I did not have time for all the school health stuff while we were making adjustments.
The pandemic was really a blessing for an AT with a degree in public health. Being married to Josh Woodall helped us really sit down and work side by side and help set up procedures to get stuff back to the school and back to athletes.
The leadership team was meeting and Coach Allen knew Jamie would be a great asset. He pressured the admin to let her in.
Delivery is key
Respect is built and given, not taken
We did Character Talks with our athletes to help grow the respect for the AT staff. Jamie spoke at some of them.

Abdominal Injuries in Sports with Dr. Benedict Ifedi and Shwan Ready live from the memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update
How are we going to see this on the field?PQRST –
Provoking – what is making it worse?
Qulity – sharp, ripping
Radiating – diaphragm
Severity – 0-10
Timing – constant, coming and going
All ATs need to have a stethoscope and BP cuff in their kit to monitor for vitalsPulseOx in your pocket
What do we need to carry with us?Stethoscope
PulseOx
BP Cuff
Pneumothorax cover
Possibly needle decompression – 18 gauge needle
Reflex Diaphragm evaluationWhats going on
Where are yo uhurting
How is it hurting?
Keep it simple with yes or no questions
PulseOx for Oxygen
Walk them off and continue to monitor if things are trending upward.
Trending downward – call EMS and send them
Let’s try to loosen up everything so there is not compression from equipment.
It can also be a lung contusion – where the athlete is spitting up blood.
If it clears in a few minutes then still sit them out and have them follow up with an ER visit and imaging
Rib Fracture – EvaluationPosterior to anterior allows you to check the spine first.
Having a systematic routine is important.
PneumothoraxSpontaneous – taller thinner athletic male
Traumatic- comes witha hit to the ribs
If you are looking at the athlete and they are just struggling then elevate yoru care to the next level.
Use your vital sign measuring tools.
Comotio CordisSudden collapse
Non-responsive
Activate EMS and provide care
Aortic RuptureABC
Pulses were weak
Legs felt like they were going numb
Spleenic LacerationMono increases the spleen 30-50% increase in size
Flank pain from a blow
Monitor vital signs – PulseOx and BP
Practice your abdominal palpations on non injuries so you know the difference.
Liver LacerationRare
Usually non emergency
Painful breathing
Outpatient follow up most likely
Looking at the PQRST
Rigidity in the abdomen is something we need to know what it feels like.
KidneyKidney punch
Tenderness in CVA area
May have radiating pain that wraps around to the bladder area
Blood in the urine
Where can we go to learn normal abdominal feel and sounds?Youtube is a great resource

How It Started is not how it ended. Jamie and Eliot Share their stories and motivation for changing the culture of Sports Medicine in Brenham ISD.
Eliot, before Jamie Woodall, what was your take on Athletic Trainers?I was a head football coach for 20 years in Houston
We had ATs that were old school and then a series of newer ATs that really opened my eyes
I wanted to move to the model of “head and assistant” vs male and female
Jamie, What was your take on Athletic Directors?I have had some great experiences and some bumpy ones
Many of those belong to me as being young in my career and lacking the finesse in my conversations.
Why did you interview for the job with Eliot?I am happy where I am but I was willing to look.
It sounds like Rudder is a situation that someone can walk into and keep the machine running. We need someone to take care of our kids like that.
I lost the Assistant AD title, I had to commute…I was losing a lot.
Tell me about your “List of Demands”Calibration
Radio
Hydration units
Water access on one of the practice fields
Jamie, you got your master's to leave the profession of AT. Why did you stay?I got a master's in public health and was really ready to leave.
I could not go to work every day and be happy.
I loved the AT-specific aspects of my job.
Some of those things were my mental decisions, it was my mindset.
Eliot, how did you help Jamie become a little more palatable?Jamie’s resume was really outstanding
We needed a lot of help.
She really came in guarded, even stating all coaches are A**holes until proven otherwise
I had a plan to get it all started, but those got changed.Physicals are starting to come in and I do not have a filing system.
We hired a second AT and I pushed for a second female. I wanted to remove the male-female divide.
I wanted someone who already knew my personality.
We wanted physicals every year and not just odd years.
In the coaches' meeting, Eliot stole my show.
I am protective by instinct. I knew I needed to push the coaches so she didn't take the blame.
“It was my job to stand on her own two feet.”
The relationship between the AT and coach can be really tough. Try to see the best in each other.Being able to relax and trust them

When is a hip flexor not a hip flexor? Dr. Rod Turner joins Dr. Layci Harrison after his presentation at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Update.
One of my rules of thumb is…What is going to kill a patient?
Is there anything ATs can look for in a hip flexor?This kid came in on crutches?
Look at other factors
Discuss more of the gen med side of a hip flexor injury.It is easy to forget about the abdomen.
It is easy to palpate the abdomen.
Are they getting better?
Are there certain cues we can give to request further imaging?ER docs save lives every day.
Sometimes they get tunnel vision.
If the athlete had said abdominal pain rather than hip pain the workup probably would have been different.
Can we add anything to AT education?Communication
Need to be willing to answer the phone

Meghan Allcorn has had about 9 job changes in roughly 11 years.
Meghan, where did you start as an AT? How long were you there?11 years as an AT
PRN coverage for collegiate D2 in the Michigan area, working every sport available.
My first full-time job was as an Industrial Athletic Trainer out in the Washington area.
Secondary School setting back in Michigan
PRN coverage
Detroit Metro Airport
Secondary School and community outreach working out of a health and fitness facility.
Finished PTA degree and started working in the inpatient setting
Another industrial setting and been there for 4 years.
What pushed you to change settings?Survival as a single female, creating a full-time job where there was not one before.
Currently the program manager for Workfit in the automotive industry. I now have 2 little girls and wanted a day shift job that would still have a need every day.
I was done missing my kid's events.
Which was the hardest change for you?Leaving the first industrial setting job – it was a first shift job and gave me so much freedom of schedule.
Discuss the Airport settingYou get on the airplane and put one bag overhead.
The workers tag them, move them, and help the underbelly workers get them there.
They are stuck under your dining room table moving 50-pound bags for an 8-hour shift.
How did you transfer experiences from one setting to the next?Personality is the top transfer tool.
Build trust and then you can accomplish a lot of things.
The skills transfer similarly. You need to be in that position or setting to observe and improve body mechanics.
Assembly line – you have about 60 seconds to get your part, attach it, and be free. The parts are usually behind you and need to be gathered for each assembly.
Is this your final stop?I do not know.
I love AT and what it has brought to my life, but I can not say it is definitely my final destination.
Encourage someone in the process nowDo not be afraid to try and fail.
Every time you try something new you gain experience.
Any Regrets?No regrets but a few missed opportunities. All of these lead to shaping who I am.

Jason Robey has experience with division 1 athletics, industrial, academic, and military Athletic Training settings.
Jason, where did you start as an AT? How long were you there?High school
Clinical Outreach
Went back to grad school
Semi-pro sports
Physical Therapy Clinic
Independent pro baseball
Division 3 college
D1 college
Air national guard
Army
Where are you now?Newport Virginia Fort Eustice
I am a subject matter expert – more like a consultant
H2F – Holistic Health and Fitness
There are 6 different tests rather than the previous pushups, run, and situps
We have an entire team similar to a D1 sports program.
Mental health, nutrition, strength,
The current AT policy in the Army is very restrictive and we are pushing those boundaries.
We have about 200 ATs and I am their advocate at the admin level.
What makes you the subject matter expert?Broad patient background
Experience
Understanding both sides of the need
I have a Ph.D. and worked as an assistant professor.
The Army has the most ATs on staff and should be about triple that over the next 7 years.
Is this where you plan to stay?Definitely would like to stay in the military, but I want to advance to become an army civilian.
A favorite resource for someone looking to change settings?Recognizing the potential of stress as you are changing.
If you are an AT you are qualified for the position. You do not need to be the grand wizard of AT to work in the industrial or military.
All changes are stressful and difficult.
I did not know the Army, but I did know Athletic Training.
Contracts – you are not in the military, just a worker for the military.The companies are starting to recruit in case they get awarded the contract.
I have not seen a weight requirement but you do need to be physically fit to ride along on training events.
What is the future of the H2F?Each year we are going to expand the number of brigades that we provide care for.
620 ATs by 2030.
Regrets or missed opportunities
I miss the athletes and patient care
I am in a place where I need to be helping advance the profession
Each step is important

I taught sports med for 3 years
Worked through the county for exercise science and AT
Continued to get a reduction in force or RIF

Took a job closer to the house in Greensboro
When my second son was born I had to be available at home more.
Worked for an independent orthopedic office until they merged with EmergeOrtho. That opened up an opportunity for me to

Kevin Joyce had to make some changes because he felt like a zombie.
Kevin, where did you start as an AT? How long were you there?US merchant marine academy as an intern
Elmyra college as GA for 2 years
SUNY Plattsburgh – 5 years
SUNY New Polts – Head AT
Post University in Conn – as head AT and head SC for 6 years huge burnout alert
I had two young kids at home and woke up daily asking myself why I was doing this.
Got the opportunity to do DME. It was an improvement but still a struggle
Worked clinical for 3 years in the PT clinic with a friend.
SUNY Oswego – works with a former student-athlete as the head coach.
I realized how I missed the college sports setting.
When you took that Head AT position, why was that too much too soon?At that point, they had been without a head AT for about 8 months.
My previous spot was kinda a one horse town where everyone wanted to work with you.
At that location, it was more in a metroplex, that people were not begging to work with your team.
I did not realize what works in one place does not work in every place.
In some of our COVID meetings, I would not speak for the first 2 or 3 meetings.
Where are you now?USNY Oswego
A lot of the older PTs gave me the autonomy to work with the patients as I saw fit.
The newer PTs were high and mighty.
I loved working with a diverse population, but I felt most comfortable with the college-age athlete.
I enjoy the unpredictability and chaos.
I enjoy having to problem-solve with evaluations and think and adjust on the fly.
Is this where you plan to stay?I plan to be here.
What pushed you to change settings?The change was what I needed at the time to reset and refocus.
I needed a challenge so I knew the DME and clinical jobs were not for me.
The need to create and improve was a driving force for me to come back to the college setting.
What held you back from moving on?Fear
Am I setting myself up for failure
Will this provide for my family
We had to move back in with my 85-year-old mother to make the change.
My wife brought up the fact that I needed a change

Daniel Ruedeman discussed his journey to Orthopedic Trauma with Sandy Harris of the ATCorner Podcast
Daniel, where did you start as an AT? How long were you there?Started in the clinical outreach setting
I was an intern in the traditional high school setting
Moved to Tennessee for a traditional setting for 3 years
Was awarded a Stedman Hawkins fellowship and started working an outreach job.
Long hours were wearing me out so I became an outreach manager at a small private practice
I am currently working in OrthoTrauma – 4 x 10s
No outreach responsibility
Is this where you plan to stay?I have had opportunities to move up in the admin side but pulled back because I look forward to going to work each day.
What pushed you to change settings?The team physician back in Tennessee invited me to come to work in the clinic setting.
I did not see the connection with the patient like they had at the clinic
Tate Ericson came in and started running the outreach program and we started growing the program like crazy.
The history you are taking with the family and patient in the clinic is different from the one on the sidelines.
Becoming an Office Admin –
Being a stay-at-home dad I knew I needed to find something.
I applied for the office manager spot but they offered the back office manager spot.
I learned a lot about the roles and responsibilities but i missed the clinical experience.
How did you articulate your capabilities?I take pride in having the staff’s back and supporting them.
I always felt like this was missing in my AT jobs
Finding more ways to talk to people and building bonds.
How can I provide for them?
What held you back from moving on?What is the pay
Am I going to be happy
I have connections from each stop along the way and losing that connection caused me to hesitate.
Trauma was a new challenge for me.
Favorite resource for someone looking to change settings?Do your research on the demands of the job
Talk to people
Know your motivation and what you need for your fulfillment.
Making the changes taught me about myself at each step of the way.
Trust your gut

Where did you start as an AT? How long were you there?Started out as a College AT at Division 1 Mid Major Universities, Interned at my Alma Mater New Mexico State University for a semester, then Grad School at the University of Wyoming, My First Job was at the University of Alabama Birmingham for 2 years, then at the University of Southern Mississippi for 3 years.
Then life got Lifey, my parents were getting older and having health problems so I needed to move back home. I was able to find a job in a Physician's Practice and worked there for 5 years.
When I felt that I had hit the “ceiling” and was not growing professionally I was looking to leave, and my Alma Mater was in need of an emergency hire to teach in the Athletic Training Program. I taught Full time for 2 years, then adjunct for 2 years.
A local High School position opened up so I applied and accepted that position for a year. That high school was not a good fit, but have now been at my current High school for 4 years.
Where are you now?Texas 6A High School
Is this where you plan to stay?No intention of moving on anytime soon.
Tanya, what pushed you to change settings?Life
A favorite resource for someone looking to change settings?NATA has a lot of great resources on job descriptions, committees, etc.
For those interested in the Physician practice the Athletic Trainers in Physician Practice Society has a lot of great info and job postings https://atpps.org/
Regrets or missed opportunitiesThe physician practice setting – I wish I could have grown it.
When it was time to make the change it wasn't hard to make that decision.
It took a while to recognize I needed a change.
Mental and physical exhaustion
The clinical setting did not provide me with the mental challenge I craved.
Find what takes priority in your life and make a career decision based on that.

Where did you start as an AT? * Started at an orthopedic clinic working at a high school right out of college. New school so the first AT they had. I was also the first and only full-time outreach ATC Rockhill had. * Loved my school. Very High turnover in management at the clinic
How long were you there?* Nearly four years
What was next (tell more of your story)?* So this is kind of two parts. Before COVID I started a cash-based rehab services business. Partnered with local gyms. This was my plan to leave and do full-time. Was about to make the jump then COVID hit and the gyms shut down. * This kind of killed my momentum and made me pivot. I tried to go into the online space and still do that some but needed it to be a side gig for now at least. * Things came about with the clinic I was at. Did not feel appreciated or supported anymore and had the opportunity to try Sales. * Gave me more “regular” hours. Higher pay potential and higher pay to start. * Dynasplint for 6 months. I ended up working more hours. Being bored with the work and just did not like my situation.
Where are you now?* This led me back to “traditional” – I am with a children's hospital here in Kansas City as the ATC of a Class 5 high school. It is the district I live in, and my wife teaches at the school. Just started at this school after being at another one before internally transferring when this came open.
Is this where you plan to stay?* The answer is maybe. I don’t want to leave for another school or hospital system. CMH treats me well and the school situation is about as ideal as they come. * But we just had a baby 6 weeks ago. And I can see my priorities already shifting and wanting to be home more. I know I won’t be willing to miss his sporting events and other activities. * Other options I am keeping an eye on: Industrial, Military, Healthcare Admin/Leadership, Self-Employed
What pushed you to change settings?* Feeling underappreciated * Lack of work-life balance * Pay * Advancement opportunities
Tyler, what held you back from moving on?* Fear of failure * Lack of opportunity at first * Not want to leave my athletes * Really enjoyed the school I worked with
A favorite resource for someone looking to change settings?* Fellow ATCs!! * Speak to others in the setting you are thinking about or who are with the company you want to apply for. * Former employees at those places can also be very helpful
Call to action:* Do your homework before jumping into just any opportunity * Now is a great time to advocate for your worth in many ways * If you want to stay in traditional settings, don't feel bad about it. Maybe your current position is just not that great of a fit but another could be. And if you want to try something else don’t let fear hold you back.

Joel, where did you start as an AT, how long were you there?D1 Track and field – the pay was not great
Took the head AT spot at a D3 school that gave more money and last hours
Currently working at a local clinic
What was next on your AT journey?My job was the first job that was paid for directly through athletics.
With the change to MAT programs we knew we needed to take advantage of the unavailability of GA positions.
Is this where you plan to stay?This is a loaded question.
I currently have a 1-hour each-way commute
I will hopefully look for something close to home
The clinic setting is probably where I will be for the remainder of my career.
What pushed you to change settings?We were losing staffing but there was no reduction in expectations.
I also had changes in my personal life – we had a kid.
I was not going to be able to fulfill those commitments and could not ask the team to pick up my slack.
Which skills transferred?It was fast-paced in the clinic.
What held you back from moving on?I loved my job at the university
If we could have gotten the staffing then I likely would have stayed.
We had done so much to change and build things.
Talks with a close colleague with more years of experience were really important for me.
Do you have any regrets?
I miss daily interactions
I miss daily treatments and the rehab side of it.
I have been working to create those opportunities.
I miss the moving and shaking and trying to figure things out.
No regrets, just miss some stuff
I would not trade the time with family for the loss of those things.
A favorite resource for someone looking to change settings?Talking to people
Listen to podcasts that discuss their setting
Take some tours
Talk about some of your accomplishments:I never complain about being bored, but i do not feel like i am operating at 100%.
The team has been open to options
We recently got a service agreement with tactical operation teams.
Opening up dry needling same-day appointments.
How has the network been important?The team physician was really willing to get people in to take care of the athlete.
My current supervisor used to work for me at the university.
We are all looking out for each other and trying to make thighs happen.
