The daily struggles of female ATs...

[Scott Battas, CMAA @coachb83]

I fully understand club sports and the purpose behind them. My own kids play and will continue to play in these types of programs. My issues is this: Please stop making kids feel guilty for trying to be a valued member of their high school programs in a different sport! What I am sick of, is clubs expect high school teams to always work around their big events, but if the club is asked to work around the HS program, the kids are threatened with no longer being on that team, or even better, told they can’t be on a certain team next year if they miss a particular tournament. There is value in club sports, especially as far as individual skills and competition level. There are also lessons in HS sports that cannot be taught in club, like playing in front of 2,000 fans in an emotional environment, with your towns name across your chest. There is value in learning how to perform in those types of situations and the pressure that comes with it! Student sections rushing the floor after huge wins are memories kids deserve to share as well! Just tired of the guilt trips and ultimatums that are forced on these kids as their careers continue. We are all in the kid business and must make them a priority physically and mentally. We must continue to find ways to work together in this arena , while promoting the idea that kids can play multiple sports if they choose to, and be encouraged by both sides to do so!

@DigginTakes I’ve always said…

Kids should play multiple sports and kids should be allowed to be kids.

I’m not against advanced leagues, better competition, etc.

But no kid should be playing one sport all year & no kid should be training “like a pro” until at least HS.

They’re kids.

Navy SEALs have a saying.

You may find it helpful.

When something sucks, they look at each other and say:

"FULL BENEFIT"

It’s an instant mindset shift.

• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?

FULL BENEFIT.

***

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity

The message is simple.

Every adversity is an opportunity.

• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better

These moments forge us if we let them.

The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.

Work through the process.

Learn the lessons.

Reap the full benefit.

[Mark Halstead, MD @stlsportsmed]

Those who are tweeting about Hamlin’s incident being vaccine related are disgusting.

They seriously don’t know anything about medicine and clearly are more interested in agenda than empathy.

As Mr Rogers said ‘Look for the helpers’ and these people clearly are not.

[Aaron Borgmann @RehabAllStar]

We don’t need to comment on the event further.

All I’ll add is that this is why you have expertly trained Athletic Trainers, Physicians, and EMTs on the field every game.

Aside from a hospital this athlete was in no better place to be assisted.

[FemaleAT Probs @FemaleATProbs]

Today I’m sad. As a health care professional, as a daughter/sister/wife, as a woman now scared of conceiving a child that may not survive full term and then having repercussions.
Yeah…..today I’m sad.
