On this show, Quinn hops on the mic solo to talk about that angst that athletes feel when they can’t train the way that they want. Why is it that we as athletes and humans tend to accept “all or nothing” more than finding the “minimum effective dose”? If you’ve ever had to have conversations with your athletes about whether they are ready to do more, this one’s for you. We hope you enjoy! Clinical...

On this show, Quinn hops on the mic solo to talk about “being wrong”. This topic was inspired by his own journal entry from high school that he reads for you. It’s quite entertaining. What do we actually want to get out of professional dialogue? Is it to learn? Is it to be “right”?  Let’s talk about it! We hope you enjoy!

On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor discuss the idea of creating “authority” within the field. Many of you in our community are looking to develop your own voice or expertise in the field. So, how do we actually define being an “authority” and what qualities do we consider important for developing it? We go deep on this one. We hope you enjoy! Clinical Athlete Provider Cert Application Free C...

On this show, Quinn and Zak discuss the challenges of structuring exercise and rehab plans.  How long do we wait to reintroduce important elements? Does the person need to be pain free first? How much pain is ok to train into? How do we layer all of the different elements of the plan together over time? If you’ve ever struggled with the structure and timeline of the rehab plans with your athletes,...

A couple of episodes ago, we flipped the script a little bit with Zak interviewing Quinn on his background and life journey.  On this show, Quinn returns the favor, and we get to hear all about Zak’s background and his journey through school, founding The Level Up Initiative, and what’s led to the person/husband/provider he is today. We hope you enjoy! Clinical Athlete Provider Cert Application Fr...

On this show, we discuss a couple of topics that often give providers a lot of friction – what exactly is “autoregulation” and how does RPE fit? Also, the big bad wolf of “prognosis”.  How do we communicate timelines and expectations with our clients in a confident and accurate way, without actually knowing how long things will take exactly? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered in this episode...

On this show, the script gets flipped a little, and Zak interviews Quinn all about his journey from a young lad to what’s led him to where he is today with his Physical Therapy practice and Clinical Athlete!  This is such a strong community, and we figured getting to know the founder’s origin stories a little better will help bring us even closer. We hope you enjoy! Clinical Athlete Provider Cert...

On this show, Quinn Henoch, John Flagg, and Jared Maynard hop on the mic together for the first time in a while, to discuss all things barbell sport athletes! They will be instructing a Clinical Athlete SuperTotal Certification in a couple of months, so it was fitting that this conversation revolved around all things weightlifting and powerlifting, and arguing about which sport is the best. We hop...

Quinn and Zak discuss some themes that have popped up while graduating our newest cohort of Clinical Athlete Providers – (1) is learning about complexity all that clinically relevant? And (2) building a robust process for exercise prescription is great in theory, but how does one evolve, modify, and apply those principles in a busy setting? Well don’t worry, because in this show, we answer t...

It’s Episode 100!! One of our favorite people, Franco Impellizzeri and his team came out with a new paper titled, “Prevention versus risk reduction or mitigation, Why Create Uneccesary Battles?“.  And if you remember Franco from our Training Load episode way back in 2019, then you know we had to get him on again to talk about that paper and the misconceptions around the term injury “prevention”. ...

On this show, Steph Allen shares a case that she had, working with a avid trail runner with hip pain.
