Transfer portal welcome day. Good luck to everyone going in, and as always ask your athletic trainer for your medical notes before you leave, your next Athletic Trainer will thank you.
Anyone looking for a Dry needling course? South Alabama is hosting a course March 1-3 though Athletic Dry Needling. Hoping to add 1-2 more participants!
DM me for any questions or if interested
It’s the people that make places special.
There are so many different examples of it, but this is one for me.
I always liked to show up early, get a stretch or a workout in, etc. For 10 years in Houston, when I would show up in the morning, Roland & Kap would already be there, just finishing their workout.
They’re athletic trainers. Taping/treatment generally starts around 6am and they don’t leave until late in the evening every night. They show up in the morning while it’s still dark outside and they leave at night when it’s dark outside. Yet they would still be in the weightroom at like 4:30am every morning getting a workout in before they started their full day of work helping us players.
They don’t have to. They could decide not to. But they choose to try and better themselves before spending the rest of their day helping everyone else get better and that has always inspired me.
So this morning we ran it back.
Like old times.
New memories with old friends.

The fact that any football game or ANY sport can be allowed to occurs without proper medical personnel is abhorrent. ATs train for this situation. But what good does it do if no one is there. This is a wake up call. No medical personnel, no sports, ever.
