Athletic Training Chat

Justin Young is an athletic trainer who just completed his DAT from Indiana State University. During his time there he started working with and building a Tactical Athlete Care Clinic that has evolved over the past two years (even with COVID).

In this episode we discuss working with tactical athletes and what that looks like in this setting off athletic training. It comes with some unique challenges and Justin shares with us what he has identified, how he has gone about addressing it and how he plans to continue to build the care clinic in the future.

Justin provides a ton of insight that would be very useful if you’re looking to work with tactical athletes but also, many that would apply to any setting. The demonstration of value and how ATs can impact this unique group of athletes can be applied across so many settings of AT.

Brea is finishing up her second year in the DAT program at Indiana State University where she is also currently working as a GA working with a local high school. As part of the process of working through the DAT each student was required to serve as a mentor for other ATs and also reach out to a potential mentor. That is how this episode came to be.

Brea and Joel go back to their time together at UW-La Crosse where Brea was a student and Joel served as a preceptor. They didn’t see eye-to-eye on everything and hadn’t stayed in touch after Brea graduated. The mentor program has allowed them to reconnect and that’s what they discuss. The renewed connection has allowed them both to learn and that’s bee a huge key to the success. Enjoy.

Eli Kassab is an athletic trainer that currently works in the sport setting but has done a little bit of everything, including spending some significant time in high level football. Through all of this, Eli found himself getting burned out from the constant go of the profession. This led Eli to find some new opportunities to break the cycle of burnout and see what else might be next in his career.  

In this episode we talk about burnout and how an athletic trainer might be able to handle it if they find themselves moving that direction. Eli has some very unique insight into options that ATCs can find to help with a case of burnout. This might be very applicable in mid-April and we find ourselves at home with maybe more time on our hands than we thought. Great episode, Enjoy.

Racism is wrong. Hate can’t be accepted. Just not being “racist” is not enough to propel change. In order to help create change, we have to listen, work to comprehend and accept the fact that those in privileged positions can never understand what diverse people go through.   ATChat hasn’t put a statement out because we needed to listen and learn from people that experience racism on potentially daily basis. We denounce any form or racism or hate, not only within the athletic training community but in the world in general. 

We will do more to help be part of the change that is needed to increase equality and work with our diverse professionals to succeed and feel safe while doing so.  This roundtable discussion on Race in Athletic Training is a starting point and we can’t think Krystal, Ryan, Mercedes, Andrew, Brandon, Susan, Mike and Austin for being a part of the conversation and education. 

We held this roundtable to listen, learn, and find opportunities to try and make things better.   #blacklivesmatter, racism and hate are still a problem. We need to do better and look forward to the opportunities to continue the conversation and do our part to make things better.   Please find more resources in the notes and on the webpage for this episode.
