Cheeky Mid Weeky

In this bonus episode we speak with Dr. Jason Avedesian, Ph.D of Clemson Athletics about how the brain plays a critical roll in the health of the ACL.

This is due to the vestibular system (eyes) and their ability to process information from the outside world and process the information before making a decision.

It is key to understand that we S&C coaches cannot prevent ACL injuries, we can only reduce the likelihood of injury, and decrease the potential severity of injury.

This week's episode is live! In our episode this week we talk with Jason Avedesian, Ph.D. Dr. Avedesian has worked in Clemson Athletics in November 2021 as the Director of Sports Science for Olympic Sports. Within this role, Avedesian oversees all sports science initiatives across Clemson Olympic sports, including research and design, athlete monitoring, data analytics, and technology implementation. He also oversees the Clemson Olympic sports science internship program, consisting of a semester-long sports science curriculum. In our conversation we dive deep into ACL injuries and talk about how they occur in sport.

Quantitative cutting assessment Dos'Santos T, McBurnie A, Donelon T, Thomas C, Comfort P, Jones PA. A qualitative screening tool to identify athletes with 'high-risk' movement mechanics during cutting: The cutting movement assessment score (CMAS). Phys Ther Sport. 2019 Jul;38:152-161. doi: 10.1016/j.ptsp.2019.05.004. Epub 2019 May 23. PMID: 31153108.

Connecting with athletes is hard. It is also extremely rewarding. In this week's episode we speak with Dr. Scott Goldman about an assessment tool called the AIQ. Dr. Goldman created this tool to help coaches learn how their athletes learn.

In doing so, coaches can connect with and educate their athletes at a higher level.I took the assessment myself and it takes roughly 20-30 minutes to complete on an iPad. It was better than a standard multiple choice exam and had some fun parts. All in all if a team has the budget for it adding this tool can possibly help.

Adam Meakins is a physiotherapist who has been working in the field for 20 years. He explains how he discovered the profession after leaving the military and pursuing a career in sports science.

He believes that physiotherapy can be overly arrogant and should not receive the same credit as other health care professions.In the podcast episode, Adam emphasizes the importance of listening to patients and providing reassurance as the number one thing healthcare professionals can do to help with pain and movement.

When people experience pain or injury, they often become fearful and doubtful about their situation, thinking of worst-case scenarios. By listening to their concerns and providing confident reassurance, healthcare professionals can alleviate some of these fears and doubts.

Adam notes that he does this 99 percent of the time in his evaluations and consultations, highlighting the significance of this approach.

Are you like everyone else and worried about artificial intelligence? If you are we can't help you there.

We can put your mind at ease that it WILL NOT replace humans as coaches. Not any time soon at least.

It is fake intelligence for a reason. It cannot critically think. In this episode we asked ChatGPT to program for a powerlifter over a 12 week time.

AI was able to give us something for a program. But it missed out on way more than it programmed.

One of the most active strength and conditioning coaches on social media joined the show this week. Nathan Kiley is a strength and conditioning coach and speed and rehabilitation coach at the Brisbane Broncos in Australia's National Rugby League.

In addition to his online presence, he has experience working with Academy Rugby League players and Cricket teams. Nathan believes that when training athletes to run, the most potent stimulus is sprinting and that sometimes, the 90-95 percent 'Charlie Francis' rule is not always the best method, especially when working with athletes in contact sports who are exposed to high intensity efforts in each game.

00:03:44 Train smarter, not harder.

00:06:16 Slow down for speed gains.

00:15:27 Keep plan B close to plan A.

00:20:20 Celebrate injury recovery.
