Dr. Christy Eason is the Director of the innovATe project at the Korey Stringer Institute. In this episode, we go deep into what that innovATe project is all about, how it came to be, what’s been done so far, and plans for the future. This project is unique and has been so impactful to this point and there is more coming. Dr. Eason reviews how it came to be and how the program is ensuring not only getting ATs into positions for the short-term but ultimately helping ensure there is a plan to keep them there and provide services. We also discuss what athletic trainers can do to help facilitate positive change when it comes to emergency management and especially around EHS. Dr. Eason highlights a couple changes that are coming to state laws that have been achieved by collaboration of EMS and ATs. We discuss the importance of advocating for your expertise and how you can make a difference when you are able to find the best place to start the conversation.LINK: KSI- https://ksi.uconn.edu/outreach/innovate/ In this Episode:+innovATe program+Providing more access to ATs+ATs as experts in EHS and Emergency+Demonstrating expertise and facilitating change+Happenings at KSIwww.athletictrainingchat.comwww.cliniallypressed.orgSUBSCRIBE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc3WyCs2lmnKK6shrL5A4hw?sub_confirmation=1#ATCchat #ATtwitter #atimpact #at4all #nata #boc #bocatc #athletictraining #athletictrainingchat #health #medicine #medical #medicalprofessional #innovATe #KSI #EHS #koreystringerinstitute #service

A topic that I used to be very into and had since faded for me but listening to an episode of Freakanomics brought it back to the front of my mind. Do the shoes you wear really matter? The episode talked about the evolution of shoes and what it means to your feet and some of the long-term health of your feet and body in general.In this Clinical Insight we get back into the discussion and offer some practical points to take away that you can apply to finding the “right” shoe for you. We also discuss time and place and that it doesn’t have to be one way or the other.

Being in administration doesn’t automatically make you a leader. Being a leader doesn’t always mean you’re in administration. An administrative position doesn’t necessarily mean a position of leadership and this can be key in how you communicate with your team and those who report to you. Being able to remain humble and continue to focus on your team and developing their human capital will be a game changer in how you interact with staff and the people you serve.We discuss some of the ideas around how you refer to yourself and your interaction with your team.

In this episode of Clinically Pressed, we sit down with Coach Deb Sazama, head volleyball coach at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse, to unpack a wide-ranging conversation on coaching philosophy, athlete development, and the rapidly evolving landscape of volleyball at both the collegiate and youth levels.Coach Sazama shares her unique journey into collegiate coaching and reflects on how her philosophy has evolved over time, highlighting the importance of intentional culture-building, adaptability, and focusing on the important things for athletes. The discussion dives into how she balances technical skill development with physical preparation, and how her staff approaches workload management to optimize performance while mitigating injury risk in a sport characterized by high repetitive demands.We also explore recruiting beyond the stat sheet, including the intangible qualities that separate athletes at the next level, and what it’s like coaching at the Division III level.The conversation then transitions into youth volleyball, where Coach Sazama offers valuable perspective on early specialization, year-round participation, and the increasing pressure placed on young athletes. She addresses key concerns around injury risk, physical preparedness, and whether current developmental models are truly setting athletes up for long-term success.For athletes and parents navigating the path to collegiate volleyball, this episode delivers practical guidance on multi-sport participation, club vs. school volleyball decisions, and what an “ideal” developmental pathway might look like.Whether you’re a coach, clinician, athlete, or parent, this episode provides an evidence-informed and experience-driven look at how to better develop volleyball players, both on and off the court.#complicatedsimple #resultsthatgiveback #heartbeatbarbell #volleyball

Cold tubs are a very common modality for recovery from a hard workout or competition. There are definitely several health benefits to getting in the cold water to help recovery but as with most things, timing and goals are very important. In this Research Review, Dr. Jagim breaks down an article that discusses how cold water immersion impacts anabolic signaling and what that means for you goals in training. Check it out.Source:Roberts LA, Raastad T, Markworth JF, Figueiredo VC, Egner IM, Shield A, Cameron-Smith D, Coombes JS, Peake JM.
