Thank you for making Milwaukee home.
Thank you for giving everything to this team and our community, and thank you for creating memories weβll have forever.

Great point made by Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua in the Senate college sports hearing today: Constant player movement (through the portal) is a real threat to athlete safety and welfare. Consistent access to the same trainers, doctors, strength coaches, and physical development is key in effectively treating, preventing, and rehabbing injuries.

I want to clarify my point better:
In normal physiology and conditions, creatine supplementation shouldnβt be blamed for causing whole body cramps that require hospitalization.
We also have to be careful of the difference between creatine and creatine kinase.
Creatine kinase (CK) is a biomarker of muscle damage and is different than creatine. CK is released into the blood with muscle breakdown and then it can damage the kidneys and cause death. This is caused rhabdomyolysis and youβve seen it in the news with other athletes.
Rhabdo occurs in athletes with intense bouts of exercise. Medical conditions and supplements can contribute to the risk of rhabdo, but creatine does not directly cause rhabdo. There have to be a lot of other contributing factors that lead to full body cramps and hospitalization.
So blaming a very concerning health event on taking too much creatine means either he was taking SIGNIFICANTLY more than the label recommended AND wasnβt hydrating well AND had an intense workout.
Creatine is just piece of what was probably a far more involved episode and brushing it off like it was a simple creatine dose issue puts unfair blame on whatβs a very safe and well studied supplement.
Darryn Peterson reveals taking a high dosage of creatine led to his cramping issues at Kansas and he was taken to the hospital by ambulance in September because he thought he was going to die, per @ramonashelburne
"I made it to the training room and just started begging them to call 911. They were trying to get a vein to get me the IV, get me back hydrated. But I was cramping so hard they couldn't get a vein. I thought I was going to die on the training table that day."

βI used to think it was cool to get away with not sleeping.
Thatβs the dumbest sh*t Iβve ever heard.
When your job is to deal with people, you need to establish health habits to sustain [yourself] when thereβs a lot of external stressors.β

Iβve said this before and Iβll say this again
The two best potential ADs in a building are the Athletic Trainers and S&C Coaches
1. They have to work with everyone/communicate
2. Building relationships/buy in is key
3. Used to doing behind the scenes work that goes unnoticed

Kenyon Martin on why todayβs players are suffering non contact lower body injuries:
βItβs the training and the way they workout. You know who never gets hurt? Russell Westbrook. You know why? How he trains and who he trains with. Go look at it. Heβs throwing weight around, heβs doing sh*t. He ainβt doing that new training sh*t. That safe safe training band work sh*t manβ

"Death is undefeated, but I'll take it to three overtimes. That's strength."
Houston strength coach Kurt Hester was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma. Six months later, he may have lost his hair, but not his indomitable spirit.

The amount of teams/coaches still making college athletes wake up at 6 am (or earlier) to train, lift, & practice is π€―π€―π€―.
The data are incredibly clear here.
Bad idea.
Jimmy Edel retweeted
Stop telling high school athletes that if they train like the pros theyβll be elite.
Most wonβt. Elite athletes have a genetic advantage that is enhanced through their training.
Be honest so we can actually guide these kids through athlete development.

Recovery doesnβt happen because you took a day off. It happens because you built a system that allows adaptation.

This is by far the BEST breakdown of why the NBA product sucks today.
