Here to dispel the abhorrent myth that athletic trainers have a sense of humor. MA, ATC, CSCS. My thoughts are my own and not reflective of my profession(s).

[SeriousATC @Serious_ATC]

ATs, what are your thoughts? What has been your experience(s) with people running S&C sessions, certified and not?

[Tim Suchomel @DrTSuchomel]

Just curious what the strength and conditioning world thinks about licensure for our profession…

[SeriousATC @Serious_ATC]

@BodyRecompExprt @DrTSuchomel As an AT (with CSCS), I've witnessed many run S&C sessions that have no business doing so. I support S&C licensure as a means of protecting the athlete by ensuring elevated standards of the profession and aiding in reducing risk of injury, not increasing it.

[Tim Suchomel @DrTSuchomel]

@Skol_vikings3 @BodyRecompExprt Interesting that you bring up a 4 year college degree requirement since two of most common certifications in collegiate strength and conditioning (CSCS and SCCC) already require that. NCAA rules require coaches to have a certification from a nationally-recognized organization

[SeriousATC @Serious_ATC]

At the risk of unpopular opinion, this needs to be addressed. We ask others to respect our field & practice, but that must be a two-way bridge.

[Coach McKeever @Coach_McKeever]

As a certified AT & practicing strength & conditioning coach (CSCS,*D), I can confidently say that **being certified as an AT does not make one qualified to write an S&C workout**

[Boo Schexnayder @BooSchex]

If an athlete is training at a fairly high level, "rehab" is harmful. Rehab intensities are too far below the training intensity to help. If it doesn't help, then its just baggage... increasing wear, tear, and risk.

THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT.

I wear a mask for my mom, my brother. For anyone out there who is high risk and knows it, anyone out there who may be high risk but doesn’t know it. For the people who have been sick and survived, and for those who have not made it...(cont.)

Sports medicine teams aren't made strictly of medical personnel; we cannot forget that performance staff belong there as well. Include them on your injury reports, have conversations with them, and keep them in the light about injury data and restrictions. We're stronger together

Part 2! What I wish male athletes knew about lifting:

-Movement quality > maxes
-Mirror muscles don’t win games
-It’s not what we do but how we do it
-Supplements waste $ if you don’t
eat right (eat like a grown man not a
child)
-How much ya bench? Who cares....

[SeriousATC @Serious_ATC]

YESSSS ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Missy Mitchell-McBeth @missyMmcbeth]

Part 4/4: what I wish sports coaches knew about strength training. Tweet 1/2:

-30 min lift isn’t what’s making your team sore, it’s the 3 hr practice
-how you exercise after work isn’t how team should train
-strength training doesn’t have to be complicated, you can learn basics

I will stand by the fact that I think ice/CWI is great for pain management; HOWEVER, it is not a great means of recovery compared to active recovery. I try to dissuade atheletes & coaches from use of ice packs after training & instead offer an active recovery plan

[Cody Haun, Ph.D. @drcodyhaun]

21 subjects resistance trained 2x/wk for 12 wks.

11 sat in cold water for 10 mins after each session (CWI).

10 cycled for 10 mins after each session (ACT).

ACT resulted in a significant⬆️ in muscle mass.

CWI resulted in no significant change.

Its important to know your sport and its tactics, it's also important to know the most effective ways to train the body for the sport!

[Matt Rhea, PhD @MattRheaPhD]

Coaches,
Speed training and conditioning are not the same. Athletes getting plenty of rest and recovery between sprints is sign #1 of a good speed session. If you can’t stand seeing your athletes resting that much, turn your speed training over to someone who can.

[Mike Hopper, MS, LAT, ATC @mnhopper1s]

285 athletes to one athletic trainer? How do we truly provide quality athletic healthcare with these ratios? We must continue to work to make student health a priority. Appropriate ratios are an important piece of this. #NATA2019 #AT4ALL

[JS Sports Med @JSsportsmed]

How many of our athletes do this? #NATA2019

[SeriousATC @Serious_ATC]

For my AT & S&C colleagues, we need to keep the fight strong for appropriate understanding & value of implementation of "typical" conditioning practices. Must consider whether or not athlete is already receiving these stimuli in sport practice. ⬇️🙌⬇️
