#70 - Accelerating Recovery and Performance: Insights into Elite Athlete Care, Part 1

Accelerating Recovery and Performance: Insights into Elite Athlete CareGuests: Dr. Todd Riddle and Rodger FlemingIn our final episode of 2023, we take a break from our typical training format to feature an in-depth interview with two healthcare professionals who have traveled the world treating elite and professional athletes.Highlights from this episode include the importance of trust and collaboration among sports med staff, coaches, and athletes for making decisions regarding health and performance. We will chat more about the ongoing pursuit of professional development, the critical role of assessment in making treatment decisions, the symbiotic relationship that should always exist between athletic training and strength conditioning, and the impact of effective communication in providing care for athletes. We'll also chat about the "learn it or earn it" principle in professional achievements, the value of volunteerism and networking for new practitioners, and the unique challenges in treating elite athletes versus amateur and recreational athletes.If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling with pro teams or being a member of a national or olympic team’s sports medicine staff, then this episode is full of great insight and “behind the scenes” information about what it takes to treat at that level.LINKS:Take our FAKTR 60 Second Survey here >>Submit your questions for an upcoming Q&A episode here: https://2earrqgh.paperform.coWant to stay informed about upcoming events, special offers, new products, courses and more?
