Catastrophic Death and injury re-visited: an Action Plan – 190

In episode 135 – Tragedy, Death, Grief, Healing we were fresh off the loss of an athlete in which we performed life-saving skills.  We desire for each school to have an action plan in place to help the Athletic Trainers and coaches deal with the loss for the next 6 months, not just the next week.

Here is our action plan for you to submit to your district and have on file or in place before a catastrophic injury occurs.

AIRROSTI – An Introduction – 185

AIRROSTI is an acronym for Applied Integration for the Rapid Recovery of Soft Tissue Injuries

It seems like everyone has the solution to getting better faster, but very few work or are based on evidence.  Amy Davila and Ryan Pratt joined me to talk about the science and personal experience behind ARROSTI.  I am always curious about new things so they decided to let us see for ourselves.

Email Ryan Pratt and tell you heard about a special deal for athletic trainers from the Sports Medicine Broadcast so you can test out ARROSTI for free.

G-week hooks you up – 184

G-Week = lots of Gatorade stuff for you school.  It is that simple.

John Harmon and I have run multiple G-Weeks so we discuss our experiences, why they do it and what is new from Gatorade.

Email my G-Week Rep  to check and see if your school is in one of their operating areas.

They also have Gatorade vending machines that are well worth looking into.
