Noticed @KingJames writes "Man In The Arena" on his shoes before every game. If you don't know the reference, I suggest you take a second and read it now: 👇 🙌

10 years ago today I had my first (and only) interview for PT school my senior year of college.

I didn’t get in.

Social media highlights a lot of successes, but I wouldn’t be where I am now without this failure.

Thankful for everything this day taught me 🙌

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

@MuyVienDPT We’ve come a long way since our residency interview days 😅🙌

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

2023 season officially in the books

Thankful to be apart of the ride ⚾️

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

Thankful to be apart of this team 🙌
On to the World Series 🎉

With my first road trip ending where it all started - how can you not be romantic about baseball? ⚾️

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

Someone who’s always been easy to root for 🙌

One of the most valuable talks at CSM - especially for students / young clinicians wanting to get into sports

[Vien Vu @MuyVienDPT]

After 15 yrs at CSM, The Many Faces of Sports PT was NOT accepted. Planned was cont' record of great PTs and most diverse roster yet. Somehow we will find ways to provide spark all attendees got. These are the many faces of sports PT and you will hear about them somehow someway.

Happy first Mothers Day, Gi 💐

Dante and I are so lucky to have your constant support ♥️ (even if we have to share you as our wedding date)

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

With how Lonnie Walker IV has handled adversity throughout his life, he’s an easy guy to root for 🙌

[Lauren Johnson @_laurenjohnson_]

The good news about failure—it’s temporary.

The bad news about success—it’s temporary.

Don’t allow yourself to ride the highs and lows of outcomes. Consistency lies in the process not the result.

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

@Lentini_PT For as much as we talk about communication and collaboration in our profession, this comment does nothing to improve that.

If anything, it hinders our ability to work with other healthcare professions. Instead of being judgmental, be curious.

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

@brookepantano_ The fees to apply for board and specialty certifications are something I’ll never understand🙈

Always thought @APTAtweets should do something about this because how they’ve normalized these crazy costs makes no sense to me 🤷‍♂️

Spring Training ‘23 🐍🌵☀️

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

Damar Hamlin started a toy drive for local kids when he was at the University of Pittsburgh.

The initial goal was to raise $2,500.

But the link is still live, and more than $500,000 has been donated since his injury.

Incredible 🙏

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

Officially taking my first flight with a baby and he poops all over me as we wait in line to board 🙃 💩

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

My injury in high school and time in the training room with Jamie is a huge reason I pursued a career in sports medicine in the first place 🙌

[Marin Catholic Athletic Department @MCAthletics]

A shoutout to our beloved Athletic Trainer, Jamie Waterman!
She was recently nominated for the Most Valuable Athletic Trainer Award! Jamie has gone above and beyond to deliver the best sports medicine to her athletes.

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

@DavidBennion6 Yes she was approved for FMLA. To make it worse she planned to go back next week and they told her this today 🤦‍♂️

[Merritt Walker @MerrittDWalker]

@MuyVienDPT It’s become a highlight of my day 🙏 (using this as a high five)

[Ben Brewster @TreadAthletics]

Spencer Strider's advice for overcoming TJ:

"You can either lie to yourself...hope & cross your fingers...or you can buckle down and say 'here's what I need to do, here's where I'm not good.'

What can I control? And that's getting healthy, that's maximizing my work every day."

[Vien Vu @MuyVienDPT]

Fall sports are here and school is in session. Standby and help your ATs out. Nod your head to help because for every hour you stay late they probably stay for 3 more.
