Great point made by Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua in the Senate college sports hearing today: Constant player movement (through the portal) is a real threat to athlete safety and welfare. Consistent access to the same trainers, doctors, strength coaches, and physical development is key in effectively treating, preventing, and rehabbing injuries.

Some people will argue Joe is stuck in his ways. Others will say he’s correct.

There is ZERO you can argue about Joe’s impact on this field.

Play more “live” basketball.

More 1 on 1.
More 2 on 2.
More 3 on 3.
More 4 on 4.
More 5 on 5.

[Brian Sutterer MD @BrianSuttererMD]

I want to clarify my point better:

In normal physiology and conditions, creatine supplementation shouldn’t be blamed for causing whole body cramps that require hospitalization.

We also have to be careful of the difference between creatine and creatine kinase.

Creatine kinase (CK) is a biomarker of muscle damage and is different than creatine. CK is released into the blood with muscle breakdown and then it can damage the kidneys and cause death. This is caused rhabdomyolysis and you’ve seen it in the news with other athletes.

Rhabdo occurs in athletes with intense bouts of exercise. Medical conditions and supplements can contribute to the risk of rhabdo, but creatine does not directly cause rhabdo. There have to be a lot of other contributing factors that lead to full body cramps and hospitalization.

So blaming a very concerning health event on taking too much creatine means either he was taking SIGNIFICANTLY more than the label recommended AND wasn’t hydrating well AND had an intense workout.

Creatine is just piece of what was probably a far more involved episode and brushing it off like it was a simple creatine dose issue puts unfair blame on what’s a very safe and well studied supplement.

[Jimmy Edel @JimmyEdel]

Maybe this is why athletes aren't perceived as "tough" anymore. Those closest to them take away opportunities to display toughness. Tell them to "shut it down" at any sign of discomfort because they try to protect them.

[Matt Norlander @MattNorlander]

Yaxel Lendeborg told me his mom and agent told him not to play in the second half last night but he shot that advice down once the trainer told him it was his decision.

That’s the dumbest sh*t I’ve ever heard.

[Ross Garner @CoachRGarner]

I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again

The two best potential ADs in a building are the Athletic Trainers and S&C Coaches

1. They have to work with everyone/communicate

2. Building relationships/buy in is key

3. Used to doing behind the scenes work that goes unnoticed

[NBA Courtside @NBA__Courtside]

Kenyon Martin on why today’s players are suffering non contact lower body injuries:

“It’s the training and the way they workout. You know who never gets hurt? Russell Westbrook. You know why? How he trains and who he trains with. Go look at it. He’s throwing weight around, he’s doing sh*t. He ain’t doing that new training sh*t. That safe safe training band work sh*t man”

If you don’t have periods weekly that are Live, Intense, Emotional, with stakes on the line, I promise your kids will cramp G1

You may think your team periods are hard, but I bet it’s more survival mode than Friday Night Lights in their minds

TLDR: Practice Harder

[Andy Galpin, PhD @DrAndyGalpin]

The amount of teams/coaches still making college athletes wake up at 6 am (or earlier) to train, lift, & practice is 🤯🤯🤯.

The data are incredibly clear here.

Bad idea.

"We're taking it v seriously"

[Jimmy Edel @JimmyEdel]

I understand this most likely isn't why he specifically got hurt. Im just on a tangent. Physically underdeveloped, overtrained, and undernourished is basketball development 90+% of the time. OK, im done.

[Jimmy Edel @JimmyEdel]

The 🏀 developmental model from youth to pros is broken. No true off-season. A bunch of junk volume (mileage) with no purpose. Bad trainers with no plan. "Mamba Mentality" with the genetics of Daffy Duck from Space Jam mixed with the nutrition of Goldberg from Mighty Ducks.

[Melanie Redd Performance Training @coach_mel_redd]

Stop telling high school athletes that if they train like the pros they’ll be elite.

Most won’t. Elite athletes have a genetic advantage that is enhanced through their training.

Be honest so we can actually guide these kids through athlete development.
