2 years ago I got to start the journey of pursuing my Doctor of Physical Therapy.

Friday I graduated and don’t regret a single step along the way. Best support system any guy could ask for.

Teams & patients I work with get to have even more confidence in their plans🤍

Small hinges swing big doors, big hinges swing even bigger doors.

Get absurdly good at hinging and watch your guys get incredibly strong.

Simple ≠ Easy

@thefootballgirl It’s an agreeable statement that when playing larger schools, athletes need to be in better shape to match the competition pull from larger schools. But yes, there is a better way of doing things.

[Keith Stepter II, PT, DPT, CSCS, CMFA-L1 @the_virtualSC]

Every high school football team in America will soon begin their summer workouts.

I’m here to discourage as many coaches as I can from having their players run 20 110s as I possibly can.

Player health > “We’ve always done this”

@Coach_J_Allen Shoot me a dm Coach. I’d love to help

@Buddunnbud @OfficialCJLeak Actually injuries are relatively consistent despite having more explosive athletes with more speed, power and strength across a longer playing schedule all while playing on artificial turf with a much more rigorous medical evaluation process for even minor injuries

[Adam Archuleta @AdamArchuleta]

It's my hope to one day convince coaches and athletes that they DO NOT need to condition like this. Over the last 30 years, despite being open minded, I remain convinced more than ever that this is detrimental to elite performance and causes much more harm than any alleged benefit.
THERE IS a better way.

@mdwilborn30 I’ve played plenty of sports. Playing history has nothing to do with the topic. What part of running mindlessly in a straight line for 110yds is important for being able to think, react, and give 100% effort at maximum speed?

@TopherJones6 and @LukeRomine are two former Hernando Tigers that are feeling SUPER right now! 🐅

@biggameJames_36 @coachtrisciani @cmaye35 There’s better things to do

[Keith Stepter II, PT, DPT, CSCS, CMFA-L1 @the_virtualSC]

@ChrisSmithATC How the world is going to react to this

@johnnykdrama Is the conditioning the problem?

[Keith Stepter II, PT, DPT, CSCS, CMFA-L1 @the_virtualSC]

@CoachJimmieSlim Rather a better answer. Both matter. With a high quality program and nobody caring you get nothing. With a terrible program and a ton of effort you get a lot of misdirected effort and still nothing

[Keith Stepter II, PT, DPT, CSCS, CMFA-L1 @the_virtualSC]

@CoachRC23 This is refreshing 🤝
