Welcome back to the ClinicalAthlete Student Shenanigans! On this week’s episode, we have Andrea Farmer, current DPT student at the University of North Florida. Unfortunately within healthcare, burnout and losing the passion for your field is not uncommon, not only in the working world but even throughout school prior to getting your first job!

If you’re a student/ new grad, come listen to all her tips and tricks to fuel your passion and stay healthy!  Enjoy!!  Connect with Andrea on IG:@andrea_farmer_spt Follow Chris, Megan, Derrick and ClinicalAthlete on IG:@chrishughen@megan_broussard@dbark2408@clinicalathlete Join the Free CALU Community!http://bit.ly/2XsaJrb Find a ClinicalAthlete Provider and learn more about Athlete Health & Performance at https://www.clinicalathlete.com Audio edited by John Summerford

Have we been using objective measures to decide when patients can get back to sprinting or are we blindly following a timeline? Have our previous “protocols” been sensitive to those providers and athletes without the new up-to-date technologies and resources? Dan Lorenz, DPT, PT, ATC, LAT, CSCS, the director of sports medicine at Lawrence Memorial Hospital/OrthoKS in Lawrence, KS currently and a background in much more, is answering these questions and many more! Specifically in this episode, the ClinicalAthlete team dives into his Criteria-Based Return to Sprinting Progression publication, how it came about and what are the most important aspects to understand. He answers all questions about what the criteria looks like, personal experiences of where the usual progressions may not be appropriate for different reasons, the differences between being medically cleared and physically cleared, and much more!  AND as a bonus: Dan gives some great advice about BBQ that you CANNOT miss.  Publication that we discussed:CRITERIA-BASED RETURN TO SPRINTING PROGRESSION FOLLOWING LOWER EXTREMITY INJURY Dan’s ResearchGate Page:https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Daniel-Lorenz-2/research Enjoy, listeners!

Quinn and Steph are starting another NEW series on the ClinicalAthlete Podcast!  Welcome to The CALU Clinical Files. To all you listeners (yes all 6 of you), you DON’T want to miss this. Quinn and Steph are starting this series to dive into some of their real life cases in which they have navigated some unknowns and come out on the other side to really have a positive effect on their client’s lives (pretty much they are just crushing it and want to brag!).  Steph, as you all know, is on the Level Up “side of things” and a HUGE part of the CALU merger. She is passionate (and very good at) ACL rehabilitation and is currently working out of Boston PT and Wellness.  On this episode, Steph describes a case about a rockstar high-school senior who is a competitive skier and unfortunately tore his ACL on the slopes. Post-surgery, Steph tested his quad Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) at the following timestamps with subjective reports: 3 months: Quad LSI approx. 60%-feeling GOOD 6 months: Quad LSI approx. 90%- followed up with anterior knee pain and reports of it feeling…. “wobbly”.  Cue tears?! Come listen to find out what exactly was going on and how Steph navigated the reports of pain and discomfort!!  Connect with Steph and Level Up: @stephallen.dpt & @thelevelupinitiative Connect with Quinn and ClinicalAthlete: @quinn.henochdpt @clinicalathlete  Join the Free CALU Community!http://bit.ly/2XsaJrb Audio production by John Summerford

Ever dive into the research for a whole weekend and then just had NoOoO idea how to apply it to your client on Monday morning? Or even better, you figure out how to apply it and quickly realize it just didn’t work?  Maybe you’re an athlete who is having a hard time digesting all the info regarding training and injuries on the good ole’ internet? This show is for you. John and Jared have been reflecting on their own experiences and the conversations they’ve had with previous ClinicalAthlete Podcast guests. They’ve gained tons of insights as both coaches and athletes because of this, but they knew that a lot of coaches and athletes were still struggling to make sense of it all. Enter The Nameless Series! (Don’t worry, YOU’RE going to help us name it!) This is a laid-back, informal series all about how to blend being a coach and an athlete, helping you and your athletes perform better, and finding comfort in the “grey area”. The guys want to use this show to pass on what they’ve learned so far and what they’re learning now, so you can learn from it too. They’ll be bringing on influential guests from the athletic and coaching worlds that have wisdom to share – you’ll probably recognize some of them! During this very first episode, John issues a “hair-off” challenge to Omar Isuf! The duo also talk about how much they love watching the little wins with their athletes and getting to know them more than just an athlete. They emphasize the importance of finding that blend of using the scientific-research but also connecting on a deeper level with your athletes and coaches.
