@CaitrATC nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal… NFL has some data saying it reduces concussions by 52% in practices. Is it actually reducing impact or is it just making players more aware? Who knows but if there are no other negative effects they’re obligated to give it a try and continue to study it.

Jason Kelce said it best.... . Guardian caps don't do anything to prevent concussions. The league can tout player safety all they want but it's wasted breath and lip service for a fan base who doesn't know any better, and laughable to those of us that do.

@morris_atc nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal… How they’re studying this is not perfect and the mechanism by which these caps work is probably not by actually absorbing the impact (may just be increased awareness?) but worth a shot if these are actually decreasing concussion rates.

Stop using guardian caps!!!! This does nothing but add more weight to the neck. Helmets don’t prevent concussions. They are meant for skull fractures.

Interesting to see from the @BOCATC maybe I’m looking at this wrong but the number of ATs is staying relatively stagnate and there are less ATs coming into the profession. Probably a dual result of Master programs and Covid. But more people being re-instated shows promise!

Great article showing something that has always bothered me with the traditional throwing progressions. Glad to see progressions created off of acute/chronic workload numbers! Hopefully this continues to create better progressions for pitchers! #baseballrehab

If you’re only treating elbow pain at the elbow. You’re missing out on how to truly restore function. This motto pretty much stays the same for any chronic/insidious injury occurring anywhere in the body instagram.com/reel/Cx6kSTqrs…

For the past 6 years, ⁦@DelawareBASE⁩ has had one of the best trainers in college baseball. Thank you ⁦@stant_michael⁩ for your outstanding work and loyalty. You will be missed & we wish you the best in your next chapter.

We really only skimmed the surface but this was a great conversation between @mikebruno_dcatc and I! Good takeaways for those who deal with youth athletes on a regular basis

Great discussion with @TheChomper44 !!! #ATtwitter #industrialAT

Intuitively we have all known this. Are we just going to hide this in our back pocket like we do so many other things?

A good one from @mikebruno_dcatc and I if you want to understand more about what chiropractors do!

Here is your sign: Start a gratitude journal. Write down 3 things you are thankful a day. Thank you to @CoachBodden absolute game changer. If you wake up and go to sleep thinking about what you are thankful for. I have found it shifting my mindset the last month.
