Jenn has been through some change in the past several years when it comes to her professional life. This has included changing from the traditional setting, to an industrial setting, to now owning and operating her own business. Along the way she has learned a lot about not only her skillset as an athletic trainer but as a person to pave her own way to do what she loves.
Athletic training is a unique health care profession that in many of the “traditional” settings allows for patient interaction at minimum on a daily basis. This provides a unique opportunity for athletic trainers to be more to their athletes than just prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehab. Bonds of trust can get built as we often learn more about person lives than other health care providers are able to.
Rick Cox is the head athletic training and strength and conditioning coach at Suffolk University, he is also our first repeat guest on ATChat. If you follow Rick at all on social media you know he is constantly focusing on leadership and sharing what he is currently reading on the top. You can also make the safe bet that it might have to relate to Jocko Willink and Extreme Ownership.
Dr. Kevin Biese gave a talk at the 2024 Wisconsin Atheltic Trainers Association annual meeting on sports specialization and the evolution of the definition and what current and future research is showing about it. The talk was extremely informational and we wanted to share it on the podcast, thankfully, Kevin was more than willing.
In this episode, Dr. Biese dives in deep into what sports specialization is and what the current working definition is. I, personally, was surprised at the definition because it doesn’t always only have to be about one sport and the focus on that one exclusively. Dr. Biese has some great general recommendations on how you can help ensure children don’t overdo it and also on conversations you can have with student-athletes as an athletic trainer to help them figure out if they are speicalizating and how it could relate to any aches and pains or changes in performance they have. So much to take away from this one. Enjoy.

Athletic Training Services can mean a lot of things to different people depending on what position you are looking at it. The definition of services is very different than just responding to every request, being told what to do and when you need to do it. In this short episode we talk about the difference and some ideas that you can implement to work as a service, not a servant. Associated blog post on www.athletictrainingchat.com
So I think those boundaries are probably the most beneficial thing that I’ve done.

Emily is a doctoral student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has been focusing research on sports specialization and its impact on just athletes but also others that are involved around the athlete. Within the lab group that Emily is a part of they have been focusing on sports specialization in many aspects and continuing to try and better understand its larger impact.
In this episode, Emily talks about a specific aspect of that research, collegiate coaches perception of sports specialization. This is a group that isn’t often included in the conversation around sports specialization but ultimately, can have a huge impact on how specialized athletes need to become in order to make it to the next level. Emily shares what she learned in the process and what future research looks like to better understand the demands and also how it impacts athletic trainers.
In This Episode:
+What do college coaches think about sports specialization?
+Getting good at your sport vs. creating a ceiling
+Future research on sports specialization
+How does sports specialization related to athletic trainers
+A definition of sports specialization
