Episode 142: A Journey from Near Death to Personal Records in The Gym and in Life w/ Jared Maynard

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

On this episode we welcome a very special guest. Many of you know him already, because he’s been part of the Clinical Athlete community since 2016, and was the podcast co-host for several years. It’s Jared Maynard. He’s back!  We had countless shows in the past with Jared, in which we talked X’s and O’s of training, deep sciency stuff, but this show is a little different. Jared has been on quite the ride — around this time 5 years ago, he was literally fighting for his life, spending 5 weeks in the ICU with a body that was failing him. Ask the doctors that worked with him directly, the fact that he’s talking to us now is nothing short of miraculous.  So, that’s what we’re talking about today — Jared’s story, it’s one of overcoming odds and coming back stronger with some powerful messages for anyone to take away for their personal lives, their coaching, or clinical practice.

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.

We hope you enjoy!

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.

Episode 129: A Better Perspective on Injury & Rehab

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

On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor riff on a few topics that all have to do with how we as providers, and how athletes view injury, rehab, and training as a whole. Have you ever had someone say to you – aren’t you a PT, shouldn’t you be able to fix yourself? Which is funny because Zak talks about how he literally just strained his hamstring 3 days ago, and goes into how he’s managing it for an upcoming tennis tournament. Or, do you ever get the sense that athletes and clients expect rehab to work in the same way that a mechanic fixes a car or an electrician fixes a light switch? A lot of times it just ain’t that straightforward.  Or take something like Plyometrics – we often associate that word with end stage rehab or for high level athletes, but is that the best way to think about it?   

All of this AND more
