Most athletes obsess over what they put in their body, but nobody asks if their body is actually delivering it.

As a performance therapist for professional athletes, this is one of the biggest gaps I see. Electrolytes replace what you sweat out... but if your circulation isn’t moving them efficiently to your muscles and cells, you’re leaving a lot on the table.

That’s why I use VINIA. Premium electrolytes paired with red grape polyphenols that improve blood flow so instead of just drinking hydration, your body is actually delivering it.

If you’re already training hard and taking care of your body, don’t overlook circulation. Link in bio.

Most people wait until something feels off before looking at their health.

I wanted data.

Recently, I used ConciergeMD and had a complete blood panel drawn right from my house. No waiting rooms. No sitting in a lab. A clinician came directly to me, drew my blood, and within days I had a comprehensive breakdown of what was actually going on inside my body.

The best part wasn’t just getting the lab results, it was sitting down with Dr. Sogol Ash and having every marker explained in detail. We went through what was optimal, what could be improved, and what it all meant for my long-term health, recovery, performance, energy levels, and overall well-being.

From there, I received a personalized report outlining exactly where I stood and specific recommendations, including supplements and lifestyle strategies tailored to my goals.

As someone who works in sports medicine and performance, I’m a huge believer that you can’t optimize what you don’t measure.

The information you gain from comprehensive bloodwork can be one of the most valuable investments you make in your health.

We’ve all said it, but might as say it out loud. We’re out here fighting for a 10k raise when the 10th man on the hoop squad is getting 5x your salary and will never sniff the court.
This is the product of not being on contracts and being a school employee. Athletic trainers have become a line item in the budget and the goal of EVERY school, team, whatever is to keep the budgets in check aka your salary.

I stole a version of this from the legend but if you’re ever looking for an extra challenge, try this. Our goal is challenge the contralateral hip but with the bad we’re able to challenge t spine rotation control as well by destabilizing our shoulder/thoracic position training anti-rotation through the axial system. With the band, we’re getting accommodating resistance which is changing throughout the exercise giving us an un predictive tension of the band increasing our proprioception.
Something to add if you want a bit more of a challenge!

I’m all for dogs at games, actually I encourage it.
But this is unacceptable.
Hopefully it’s just a tendon strain but if he ruptured his tendon, we’re looking at 8-12 months and guys in the minors don’t really have that time.
The first 4–6 weeks are focused on protecting the repair, controlling swelling, restoring passive range of motion, and reactivating the quad without overstressing the tendon. Around the 6–12 week mark, rehab shifts toward rebuilding foundational strength, improving gait mechanics, and progressively loading the tendon. Between 3–6 months, athletes typically progress into more advanced strengthening, single leg control, deceleration work, and plyometrics as tendon tolerance improves. Around 6–9 months is when higher speed running, jumping, cutting, and sport specific drills usually become more aggressive, but this depends heavily on strength symmetry, force production, tendon response, and movement quality. Even when someone “feels good” earlier, the tendon and surrounding musculature are often still regaining full capacity, stiffness, and explosiveness. For high level athletes, full return to performance (not just return to play)can realistically take closer to 9–12+ months to restore confidence, elasticity, reactive strength, and the ability to repeatedly tolerate high loads without irritation.

This is why if you’re gonna be an AT, you need to be in shape. When something like this happens, you have to be ready to go into a full sprint and get to the athlete.
In this scenario, we automatically check ABCs, level of consciousness, neurologic screening, palpate for deformities, and then once all that is cleared, extremity movement/strength. Do not move them!

There’s probably a study somewhere that says this works.
FFS
I’ve had reiki done on me before and it was the biggest waste of 45min of my life. Maybe they didn’t do the sound effects and that’s why it didn’t work.
Idk, maybe I’ll try this with my nba guys next week.
Could be the cure all

A proper warm up is about preparing the neuromuscular system for the specific demands of sport.

That means exposing athletes to rapid deceleration, force absorption, stiffness regulation, and explosive reacceleration before competition or training even starts.

We’ll often use quick decels into explosive actions, then immediately change the vector or plane of motion and repeat the pattern. Why? Because sport is built on the ability to absorb force, stabilize, reposition, and produce force again efficiently.

These drills help prime-
Rate of force development
Eccentric braking capacity
Reactive strength
Intermuscular coordination
Tendon stiffness and elastic energy utilization
Change of direction mechanics
Neuromuscular readiness

The goal is to prepare the athlete to tolerate high force outputs while maintaining movement efficiency and positional control under speed.

Train the brakes.
Train the redirection.
Then train the explosion out of it.

This s**t looks like a finishing move in mortal kombat

Don’t ever let this happen to you. Run far, far away.
There is no reason why a clinician would ever recommend this with sound reasoning. I do spinal manipulations daily but this ain’t one of them.

HVLA manipulation gets talked about like it’s some dangerous thing, but when it’s performed by someone properly trained and actually screening the patient first, it’s incredibly safe and very effective.

The problem is people think clinicians are just “cracking joints.” Good manual therapy is way more thought out than that. It’s assessment, understanding movement restrictions, knowing contraindications, and using the right tool at the right time.

In the right hands, HVLA can be a great way to improve mobility, decrease pain, and help people move better.

Infrared is not heat. It’s energy.

That’s an important distinction.

Incrediwear’s fabric is designed with bioactive infrared elements that are activated by your own body heat, allowing the material to emit low level infrared energy back into the body while you move, train, and recover.

This infrared energy interacts with biological water at the cellular level, creating subtle molecular activity that helps support normal physiological processes. This concept, often referred to as photobiomodulation, has been associated with improved circulation, recovery, and tissue healing responses.

The interesting part?
Nothing external is being plugged in, heated up, or strapped onto you.

It’s wearable infrared technology working continuously with your body throughout the day.

Recovery is no longer just something you do after training. The right technology allows it to happen while you live, move, and perform.
