Episode 3 - Evolving as a Physical Therapist with Rob Rowland

My guest for this episode is Rob Rowland. I’ve enjoyed working with Rob for just under 2 years here at UMBC.  Rob is an assistant professor and sports physical therapist at the University of Maryland.  He splits his time as a PT between the University of Maryland at College Park and at UMBC.  Rob has an incredible ability to connect with the athletes he works with but also has an extremely impressive knowledge base that he will use as part of his job in the teaching setting.  I enjoyed learning more about the role of the physical therapist especially regarding topics such as the soft skills in coaching, building buy-in with your athletes, the role movement variability has in physical therapy, what Rob’s ideal higher education system would look like, and how tissue capacity is defined and works in regards to training and creating adaptations.  If you like today’s show, feel free to leave us a review or reach out to us on Instagram at Hot Takes Performance podcast.  Thanks for listening.
