Exercise is an introduction of stress on a biological organism.
Meanwhile injury prevention strategies are neglected 🤕to accommodate mileage🥵, power, and training above physical capacity 😤with limited regard to regional interdependence🤔.

Soccer is much more than just playing. It’s about nutrition and recovery too. We’re proud to have solid partners with us like sports scientist Rammel Nwaokai of Dallas Sports Recovery to teach players and parents about recovery — Because best ability is availability.
New things we have implemented this year:
1. Lift 3x/week instead of 4x/week in the preseason
2. Team yoga
3. Mandatory training room recovery sessions two days/week for each student-athlete
4. Names on back of practice jerseys and workout shirts
Things we continue to do and believe in:
1. Film, stat, clip, and show every practice to the team.
2. No early morning workouts
3. Team study hall multiple times per week
4. Mandatory post workout nutrition
5. Conditioning on an at-need basis only. Those who are in shape and at their desired playing weight don’t do conditioning. Our commitment: to practice our way into game shape.
6. Names on the back of game uniforms
7. Assistant coaches get an amplified voice with meaningful duties and the opportunity to coach daily
8. Fun service projects within our community
9. Assign a coaching staff member to each student-athlete to be their “academic coach” and oversight their academic progress throughout the semester (1 on 1 meetings, syllabi reviews, grade oversight, progress towards graduation, tutor recommendations, etc).
10. Mandatory daily freshman breakfast with a coach
11. Occasional off-season team meals to get everyone together and break bread
12. Hydration access, encouragement, and oversight
Damar Hamlin narrated a video at the ESPYs explaining his relationship with the Bills training staff both before and after his cardiac arrest. And how they became his heroes.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”. Congrats to all the hard-working ATC, DPT, and kinesiology students graduating this month. Although most do not see you're efforts on the sidelines, in the athletic training room, or weight room.
