Athletic Training Chat

Advocating for the athletic training is as important now as it has ever been. There have been several avenues that people have worked through in order to get the word out about athletic training and what the profession can do. In this episode we got to talk with Ryan Stevens, host of cATalyzing Podcast and Manager of Rehab Services (among other things) at RWJ Somerset and RWJ Hamilton hospitals.

In this episode we discussed what Ryan sees as some of the ‘other’ areas of athletic training that need to be addressed by the profession to help it keep growing and show how we can help a variety of people We also discuss the importance of ego and being able to check it at the door in order to learn from other professions and compliment each other. There are a lot of great ideas that people can focus on to try and help not only grow themselves but help the profession continue to advance.

Protecting our youth athletes isn't a simple task. With so many things going on and pressures from coaches coming from all directions to make sure that they are putting all their effort into that sport or that team.

In this episode we sit down with one of our own hosts, Austin Fitzpatrick. Austin is working his way through his second year in his MSAT program. We sat down to reflect on how the first year went and what Austin has taken away from the first year and how he believes all the experiences have come together to form his program.

We also revisit Austin’s responses to our (modified) AT Chat questions. We wanted to see what changes might have come about since Austin has been more engulfed into the athletic training profession. If you’d like to hear his original responses, please check out Episode 1. Enjoy.

This episode is a cross over from our parent podcast, Clinically Pressed. It is a feature with Shawn Eno of Xtreme Footwerks and he is discussing the pathology of Plantar Fasciitis. Shawn discusses what the true presentation of the injury is and that not all pain on the bottom of the foot is an injury to the plantar fascia.

Along with describing the entire pathology of the injury Sean also gives some very practical ideas to help address the issue and help people get back to feeling good again as quickly as possible.

Great short discussion that we took a lot away from.

Kyle Rutledge is an athletic trainer working in a role that cares for both high school and junior high school athletes. Kyle has had a unique journey to get to where he is currently and has experienced some unique settings. Kyle discusses working in a chiropractic office and doing outreach at the same time and how that increased his knowledge and ability when it comes to rehabilitation.

We also talked about education and how that can affect an athletic trainers career. Kyle had a unique route to do his first master’s degree and then after completing that journey decided to embark on another one. It can be difficult to go back for an extra degree but we talk about how it is possible and how it can help move your career forward and set you up for potential emerging opportunities. 

This is a great episode that is well worth checking out. Enjoy.

Rick Cox is the Head Athletic Trainer and strength coach at Suffolk University. Rick has held this role at a couple different locations and settings and has used it to his advantage to help care for student-athletes. 

In this episode we dig into how the two roles compliment each other and how Rick uses his time in the weight room to not only help train the athletes and help them achieve their goals in there and on the field but to build relationships to continue to establish trust with the student-athletes. Rick highlights a lot of unique and useful insights that can be applied to athletic training even if you aren’t a strength coach as well.

This was a great episode that talks about the importance of relationships with student-athletes/patients and how overall development is so important for athletes.

Athletic tape (and all the other variations) are a staple of the athletic training profession. It is used every day and in a variety of situations. It started with just a couple of options for the professional to choose from but now the options are endless. There are over 40 versions of white tape alone.

In this episode we talk again with Richard Avis of Mueller Sports Medicine about all the qualities that go into creating and selecting tape. Mueller has worked on figuring out how to break tape down with science and allowing athletic trainers to know exactly what they like and don’t like with tape, even if they didn’t know they liked or disliked it.

Richard has done a little bit of everything when it comes to product development and marketing but also did his schooling in athletic training. When you listen to him you can hear his passion for the profession and providing the tools to let them do their job as well as possible.

ESPN recently put out an article and video on Outside the Lines highlighting some of the issues that come along when coaches clout starts to influence how athletic trainers do their job. The story was based on a survey by the NATA looking at athletic training interaction with coaches and administrators and how that effected their ability to practice and if there was any interference. The results were shocking.

In this short episode we do a quick talk on these issues and some of things we are looking at in how “the tides can be turned”. We discussed how we can see ourselves on the same level as coaches and why it is important to make sure we are establishing that we work “with” our coaches and not “for” coaches. Some of these simple words can have deep meaning when it comes to how you are perceived and how you perceive yourself.

We hope everyone had a great NATA Week out in Vegas. Our friends at Mueller Sports Medicine were there and talking with all the athletic trainers they can. Not just to sell them something but because they want to know what athletic trainers need and what they think for new products. Seriously, they actually want to listen.

This year Mueller is highlighting athletic training kits and they have someone for everyone. Not only do they have options of all sizes but they have focused on getting the kit to customize to exactly what the athletic trainer wants. Here is a short video of Richard Avis (a former ATC) detailing all the options that Mueller has for you when it comes to your athletic training kit.
