This is a great podcast for anyone who works with people in pain. They need to know you are competent, but they also need to know you care

I remember when this was true. What have we done?
“I always turn to the sports page first. It records people’s accomplishments; the front page, nothing but man’s failure.” – Earl Warren
Thank you to @Challenger_ST for asking me to be on his podcast. I appreciate that he was interested in getting an ATC perspective. It’s all about purpose and communication between health and performance. We all should want the best for the athlete https://t.co/DwM1eaV0Mi
The backup QB can't play worse than this, but how much money you paying him? Do you risk burning the QB you spent money on for the entire season, or do you risk your shot at a playoff berth? Fun new wrinkle!
It’s amazing what can be accomplished when creativity is rewarded, but important to remember, that allowance is earned. An amazing relationship between player and coach https://t.co/JHZ5GdA2Z8
There was a clear difference in the Texas A&M / ND game tonight that doesn't show up in the box score.
Cramping.
All summer we heard Notre Dame has to prepare for the Texas heat... Yet I didn't see a white jersey on the ground getting stretched out.
Instead we saw a lot of maroon laying on the ground, yelping in pain, clutching their legs.
Why?
Both teams drink their Gatorade, they get their electrolytes in. What's the difference?
First game cramps are NOT. A HYDRATION ISSUE.
They are an intensity issue.
If your body is not prepared for the intensity of a game, that's where you see cramps become an issue.
It's a neuromuscular fatigue issue.

If you run practices at 50-80% speed, that's what you've prepared your body for.
If you try to then go into a game and play at 100% for a full 60 minutes...
You won't last.
You'll cramp up.
When fatigue sets in, bad things happen.
TL;DR: Cramps aren't just a hydration issue. It's a neuromuscular fatigue problem.
If you don't want to cramp up in a game: prepare your body to handle game like intensity.

All levels of sport already lost and will continue to lose some of very bright people who can impact the future. Athletes are the driver, but support staff matters a lot to keep them going. #ATC#S&C #equipment#Nutrition https://t.co/HEkS6UX6W4

Pain is a complicated topic. There are central, peripheral, and mechanical reasons for pain (among others), and we're not even touching on the many things that influence how much pain we experience.
No one wants to think that their pain is "coming from their head."... but the research, and indeed my own experience, shows that sometimes it is.
Sadness affects our pain perception, whether it's chronic or acute sadness. Sometimes, when we're feeling a bit down, we may notice the aches and pains more, or we might notice the aches and pains are a little worse than the day before. Today is one of those days... but you know what I'm about to do... right? Whether I walk, hike, ride, run, or go to the gym... my mood should improve, and if history repeats itself, I should be feeling less pain soon, too. It's not easy to motivate yourself when you're sad and in pain... but it is the right medicine at this moment, as long as the dose is correct.
