@taniamck Pre-game dinner with Mom in eighth grade and on my team as a Freshman!

@ACHSFlagFball Well deserved!

Big news out of Camarillo… Stella Alessi (c/o 26) was named to the All CIF-SS team in Division 1. One of only 3 girls from Ventura County to receive the nod. Congrats Stella!

Yes

We are sitting at exactly 2 weeks from the best officially unofficial holiday EVER!!!! Mark your calendars. And check out the previous years flyers.

Does your school 1) have an athletic trainer for athletics and 2) have enough AT’s. Having an Athletic trainer for all athletic events from practices to Games and tournaments should be in your operating budget at all levels from PeeWee up to the professional level.

@geekyathltrainr After my Frosh and JV games on Thursday night I woke up feeling like I played a game!

Direct quote to my coworker after our game tonight:

As today is #SuicidePreventionDay, I just wanted to say that you are wanted and loved. You can call or text 988 any time to get help. Please take care of yourselves.

I get a lot of DMs and messages from coaches about feeding their athletes. My health and performance playbook has > 180 slides addressing each sport and how to properly fuel and eat for optimal health and performance. If you like my content and all the FREE tips you will love this playbook! Get a copy today🔽 checkout.square.site/merchant/V4SH3…

LISTEN to your athletic trainers. TRUST your athletic trainers. RESPECT your athletic trainers.

@KJATraining @morris_atc CA ATC since 1995 as well.

@morris_atc As a ATC since 1995 I 100% agree with what was written here. I am in Ca and the way ATCs are treated and compensated is pathetic and it doesn’t remotely reflect the knowledge base we have-the NATA does not have enough political power and we will never have relevance .

When we say there’s a shortage of ATs, this is what we mean. There are plenty of ATs. Just not ones that want to do this job any more. And yes this is a job not a life(style). This is why I left the traditional setting and see myself leaving the profession within the next 3 yrs

Lecturing the athletes I had to pull because they didn't eat or drink all day:

@esolger @BaderEvan Tell me more!

@BaderEvan Use oodoo. Free and makes inventory easy

Finally got my 3 inventory spreadsheets into 1 and color coordinated based on where they are kept.

Dear Youth Athletes, Be an athlete first... Stay away from playing one competitive sport all year... Stay away from superteams... Stay away from tournaments that put out too many games over too few days... Stay away from "elite" anything... Stay away from youth national championships... Olympic Development programs... And travel teams that fly across the country... Instead do other activities outside your sport. Master your own bodyweight.. Learn to : Sprint Jump Throw Crawl Climb Carry Flip Roll Tumble Start early in life, do it often, have fun! #LTAD #beanathletefirst

Cause why do they already kick me when I’m down. Why can’t they give me a nice little gift of no spring football? 😂

After the athlete complains to me anywhere other than the athletic training room:

@amyfullermorgan Wow, that is talent!

My 8 year old painted this for me for my birthday & it is definitely one of my all time favourite presents ever 🥰

@all_eddy This is amazing work. Tell him to not let life dull his passion!

My son was embarrassed to post his finished quilt because he's a man, be gentle with criticism, this quilt is simple but he wants to be a professional one day.

When an athlete tells me their pain started months ago and wants me to fix it 20 minutes before competition…

@CaitrATC @AlyssaMesi That closed head injury thing makes me batty!

@AlyssaMesi A "closed head injury" of course

So many to choose from, but I'll go with: If you don't lose consciousness, it's not a concussion. (Only about 10% of concussions lose consciousness)

Athletics trainers and physicians had a 92% rate of agreement involving injury assessments/diagnoses, according to a 2016 study from Orthopedics #NATM2024 @elikassab

@worley_katrina I would be livid..,,even though they are kind of cute….

I think I found out where all of my tape went LOL gotta love my baseball boys :-) @kansasat
