The guy squirting water into Zach Ertz’s mouth is Joe O’Pella. He’s an athletic trainer that’s been with the team for over 15 years at this point.

NFL teams don’t really have water boys, athletic trainers are usually the ones responsible for having water on the practice field and during games, but this post is absolutely hilarious.

A guy who rehabbed my ACL tear in my second year, has a masters degree from Pitt, and has years of experience keeping Eagles players healthy and on the field being called a “Waterboy” is crazy, and I’m already giving him shit for it, but good lord this post is so wildly misleading.

Either way, thought I’d clear the air, that the people with Water Bottles during games actually serve much bigger roles on NFL Teams.

I think some ATs have hit the point of “burn out” in our profession that they forgot it’s supposed to be fun!

Taping isn’t all we do, but guess what, if this fun little video opens up a conversation about athletic training then let me quote tweet this all day long!

Thank you to everyone who fought for this! Thanks to you, we not only get to go to continue helping our service members, but also do what we love as athletic trainers. So, from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of all AT’s, thank you!

Dear AT followers I’m really asking for your help.

Could you please look up and write to your congressman/woman and express to them how important Athletic Trainers are? Especially to the military.

You can even use the attached template

Is there a correlation between coaches leadership styles and injuries in elite football? 🤔

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and all I got was this lousy crippling regret for every missed opportunity and overwhelming shame and broken self-esteem because I thought I wasn't trying hard enough somehow because everyone said try harder and stop being so selfish and lazy

WHOLESOME: #Dolphins LB Anthony Walker Jr. gifted all his teammates their old high school jerseys; their reactions are everything.

THIS IS AWESOME.

11 years ago today, a boy collapsed on a football field in a small town.
My small town.
The closest AED was locked in the coach’s office.
Jake West was 17. He was a kind soul who loved his mama.
His collapse redirected my career & became a why for #SaferSidelines.
For Jake.🧡

White friends, especially white women who did not have an undergraduate sorority experience:

In the coming months you’ll likely see a great deal of content about VP Harris’ sorority affiliation and the support from its members. We 🩷 it. Some info & tips for us: 🧵

Flavor Flav supporting the women’s water polo team is one of the best stories in 2024 🥹

I need y'all to understand something:

This isn't Willie Mays.
This isn't Satchel Paige.
This isn't Josh Gibson.

This is REGGIE JACKSON. HE PLAYED WHEN I WAS A KID in the 70s and 80s.

THIS. IS. RECENT.
