[Circling The Wagons Podcast @CTWpod]

Damar Hamlin narrated a video at the ESPYs explaining his relationship with the Bills training staff both before and after his cardiac arrest. And how they became his heroes.

[Andrew Hayes @ajhgo4]

The professional narrative around Athletic Trainers is broken.

Vitals, temperature checks, wellness checks, vaccinations, telehealth, Covid tests in parking lots, hospitals, schools, offices, industrial parks, manufacturing plants, and homes for 2+ years. In addition to their “normal” duties supporting athletes and keeping their sports medicine program functioning.

ATs delivered healthcare to almost every patient panel in every sector of the economy during the pandemic. 🫳🎤

There needs to be a bigger megaphone highlighting their education, skill set, life-saving abilities, and being one of the most versatile allied professionals in the healthcare system.

Yet the system doesn’t recognize this.

The system is run by people who think an AT’s primary patient is Joe Theisman…

When in fact, the AT’s primary patient today, is mom, dad, brother, sister, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, etc.

ATs deliver healthcare to people. Not just athletes.

I want to help you move and I want you to take me to urgent care when I cant drive and I want to watch your kid for a night to give you a break and I want you to cook me a meal just because and I want to pick you up when your car breaks down because we're friends and friends help

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

"We can't find enough." "There aren't enough ATs out there." "We're desperate to find somebody."

But we want to pay minimum wage salaries to these healthcare providers. How desperate are you if you're using the same salary scale you used 15 years ago?

Praying for Damar Hamlin. Praying for his family and teammates. Praying for the medical staff that went and did what we are trained and practice to do. #MedicalProfessionals but people and I know this will be hard.

If you’re watching MNF this is an athletic trainers worst nightmare…

[Steph Baker, MAT, LAT, ATC @MASTERCHEFBAKER]

Thank God for Athletic Trainers

@ATCAndrea Oh my god I just found my new plan for life

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

A reporter asked me: why do I wish people “happy holidays“?

Because from 1 November to 15 January there are approximately 29 holidays observed by 7 of the world’s major religions. And I don’t think mine are the only ones that count. There’s no war on Christmas…

The same SCOTUS that said yesterday that states don’t have the ability to regulate guns today gave states the power to regulate women’s bodies.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

I’m just curious why it’s age appropriate for kids k-5 to learn about hiding under desks and not that sometimes people have two dads.

[Bails @bailshanson]

I just received a work email with 27 exclamation points, so at least I’m holding it together better than that guy.

[Mr. Coach Bell, MS, LAT, ATC @LarryBBell]

⚕️🗣 In honor of National Athletic Training Month and National Women's Month. MEN, WHEN YOU SEE A MASSAGE TABLE SET UP AND ONE OF MY FEMALE COLLEAGUES SET UP THERE, DO NOT...DO NOT WALK UP AND ASK IF YOU CAN HAVE A MASSAGE. They find this "creepy, cringey, and rapey."

[James Borchers, MD, MPH @DrJamesBorchers]

It is NATM and we all know that Athletic Trainers are healthcare professionals that are versatile, collaborative and solution driven. It is time to reimagine athletic healthcare and utilize Athletic Trainers for their unique skills. If we don’t evolve, we will invite crisis.

[James Borchers, MD, MPH @DrJamesBorchers]

Athletic Trainers are health care professionals. They have traditionally worked in athletics but that environment does not define their profession. We need to support our athletic training colleagues and their important contribution to healthcare everywhere.

[Jane McManus @janesports]

There are kids watching the Super Bowl tonight who just saw Serena Williams treated as the athletic equal of Peyton Manning after Billie Jean King did the coin toss. The visibility matters.
