Athletic Training Chat

Mitchell is an athletic trainer who has provided a lot of value to the profession by setting up a website that lists free CEUs so you don’t have to go and find them on your own. This all started as a project and solving a problem that many people had stated, they just couldn’t find CEUs that were legit and actually free. Mitchell started ATfreeCEU.com and in this episode, he shares his story on how it all got started. He also discusses the process he goes through to audit the CEUs on a semi-annual basis to ensure that everything stays up to date. It is pretty impressive to hear how many free CEUs there are out there. There are plenty to cover several periods of CEU reporting. This is a great episode on finding a problem, solving it, and providing value to the profession. Check it out.

In this episode, we talk to Evan Krening who is an athletic training and strength and conditioning coach who works in the tactical setting. Evan started off in this new setting working as an athletic trainer as part of the performance team but then switched over to focus on the strength and conditioning side. We discuss what it entails to be working with this type of population and how you train them when there is no specific in-season and off-season. We also discuss the efforts that took place to help create buy-in and show the benefit of the team but also to engage those that they serve. Evan also discusses the evolution of technology they have utilized, and also discarded, and how finding the right balance is essential to optimal performance.  If you’re interested in the tactical setting, this is a very informative episode.

Guido Van Ryssegem is a certified athletic trainer along with a registered nurse among so many other things. Guido has a really unique story to getting where he is. That has led him to finding a really deep and unique way to look at movement and athletic training. Guido focuses on proprioception, dynamic systems theory and other high level movement concepts when working with his athletes. In this episode we get deep into proprioception. So deep into what it is and how we should be training it we didn’t have enough time. We also didn’t get to the AT Chat questions because Guido had so much good information to share. This one will change your mind on how you think about proprioception and potentially how you might go about training it in the future.

Leah Dorn is a certified athletic trainer that works in California. As many know, California has no regulation as it relates to athletic training even though there has been significant effort to try and achieve it. Leah talks about how this lack of regulation impacts her care of patients and extra steps she takes to help ensure her patients are being taken care of by a qualified professional. Some of the stories are wild and it definitely makes you appreciate if your state has licensure. Leah is also a new mom (the baby makes an appearance at the end) and she talks about how she manages her life and time with pumping and feeding her child and how she focuses on spending time with her family.
