"Youth athletes are playing too hard, too long and in some cases too early. This could have diminishing returns on their ability to compete long-term and cause irreversible damage later in life.” - @NATA1950 President @torylindley

This isn’t heart and soul. This is the medical staff trying to do their job. Trust me when I say we don’t like taking the helmet away, but we do for the players protection.

What does a good hydration plan look like? It is an approach that takes your unique sweat rate & uses this information as a guide for what kind of fluid you should consider consuming, how much and how often to maximize your performance.

Only we can change our future. We need to be advocates for ourselves and our patients!

[Tory - AD - Lake Superior State U ⚓️ @torylindley]

Only you can advocate your value as a licensed health care provider to your employer; NATA cannot. Be thoughtful and thorough in your own self-evaluation as a basis for negotiating. @NATA1950 @BOCATC @NATA_ICSM @NATA_SSATC
