Episode 149: Deep Dive into Exercise Programming, Planning, and Periodization

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode!  On this show, we tackle some topics around exercise prescription that we know you wrestle with too — how far out do we program for our rehabbing athletes? Is it different than an athlete training only for “performance”?  What does “periodization” really mean, and how do we balance being flexible enough with our programming to account for the volatility of rehab, while not losing sight of the big picture?  They discuss it all.

Hope you enjoy

Episode 148: Current Tendinopathy Landscape w/ Peter Malliaras

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode!  On this show, the CA squad sat down with Peter Malliaras who has done a TON of the research over the last decade on all things tendons and tendinopathy. You’ve probably come across some of his work, even if you didn’t realize it. He’s really helped to push the field forward. The cool thing is that he’s also a clinician, so he understands this stuff from multiple angles, and we all know how tricky tendon issue issues can be clinically. So, we’re super excited to have Peter share some of his knowledge with you on this one.

We hope you enjoy!

Episode 146: “Hey Can I Start Using Knee Wraps & Getting Dry Needling?”

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode!  The “Honey & Vinegar” segment makes its return, as Zak rants about what annoys him on social media, and Quinn calms the waters with a shout out to coaches and other providers who put their athletes first.

And then we talked about a couple of scenarios that were going on with their athletes that had to do with athletes posing the question of using external supports such as knee wraps during training and another about modalities, in this case dry needling. These discussions with athletes can be very fruitful, but also challenging, so we talk about that a bit here.

We hope you enjoy!

Episode 145: Solving the Scaries of Mid Stage Rehab

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

On this show, Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor discuss all of the things that make mid stage rehab challenging, and common pitfalls, like:

  • Sticking arbitrarily to rigid timelines and progressing before the athlete is ready
  • Waiting too long to start introducing basic entry points for your exercise categories
  • Not having a clear understanding or criteria for what qualities need to be prioritized

Also, we are VERY excited to introduce a new segment, where Zak and Quinn bring a little honey and vinegar to the rehab space — and Quinn got to put on his hater shades!  We’re still open to names for this segment, so feel free to help us out!

We hope you enjoy!

Episode 141: The Mentor Squad with Steph & Steph

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

On this episode we have the whole Executive Clinical Athlete Provider Mentor Team — Quinn Henoch, Zak Gabor, Steph Allen, and Steph Mundt. We started as the 4 mentors in the Clinical Athlete Provider Certification Program exactly two years ago in March of 2024. Our mentor team has now grown to 8 and counting, but there’s been a ton of growth in many other aspects over the last 2 years. So, we thought it’d be a great opportunity to get the 4 of us on the show for the first time together, and reflect on the last two years.  There’s a lot of great nuggets to take away from this about working with a team and continuing your professional development within leadership positions. 

We hope you enjoy!

Episode 140: The Scaries of Rehab Forecasting, Predictions, & Timelines

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

On this episode Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor talk about a really important topic — the best Ninendo 64 games of all time. We actually do talk about that, but also, we talk about timelines in rehab and communication with our athletes around forecasting and prediction of how rehab should go, how long it will take — all of the things that give us anxiety but that we address on a regular basis in our practice. What makes up our timeline predictions? And what happens if the original timelines that we communicated don’t match up with how the athlete’s rehab is actually going? We dig into all of that and more.

We hope you enjoy!

On this episode we welcome an awesome guest — The Plyo guy himself and creator of Plusplyos Matt McInnes Watson. Matt is an absolute go-to resource for anything and everything regarding plyometrics, and has had a big influence on us and how we view these things within the Clinical Athlete community.  What the heck does “plyometric” even mean? How can we break down the barriers to entry for coaching, programming, and performing these movements? We cover it all with Matt, this was an absolute banger.

It’s a Clinical Athlete Diary vibe.

When’s the last time you re-read a book or retook a course, instead of buying a new one? Hmm…

Also, you ever struggle with tracking your athlete’s symptoms in rehab? Or find it to be a slippery slope to have a goal be for them to have no more pain flare ups? Me too. Let’s talk about it all.
