Big Sal opened camp week with a full meltdown — six Packers on the PUP and NFI lists before a whistle blew, blood pressure somewhere it shouldn't go over a July transaction wire. Then he read the rulebook. The July PUP list is a parking spot, not a sentence. Knowing which guys are the ice machine and which one is the pool table with tape on the corner pocket? That's your job as a fan, because nobody on television is going to do it. - **Tucker Kraft vs. Luke Musgrave on PUP:** Kraft's finishing a comeback, not starting one — no pitch count, week one. Musgrave had the door wide open and landed on the same list as the guy he was supposed to cover for; the reps go to Josh Wilde and Messiah Swinson. - **Micah Parsons and the math:** December 14th ACL plus nine months equals mid-September. He was never going to be at Minnesota. Big Sal wants week five, not a day earlier — rushing him back is how you spend four years of a career to win a Tuesday in July. - **The good news Big Sal never gives:** Zack Tom is off the list. Without him, Love's sack rate more than doubled. Eight and two when Tom played 30-plus snaps. That's the whole season in one guy's knee. Hit subscribe, leave a review, and send this to whoever panicked worse than Big Sal when that list dropped. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

This week's most important local sports story came out of training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, where the team announced that quarterback Patrick Mahomes — just seven months removed from a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee — was fully cleared for the start of training camp.Although most of the eyes will be on Mahomes' recovery, there are several other subplots worth watching, such as the status of Rashee Rice, the development of Mansoor Delane and who wins out at the right tackle position.With Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson now in Los Angeles and Bryan Cook now in Cincinnati, how will the Chiefs manage their new-look secondary?On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR (89.3 FM), Star columnist Sam McDowell joins Pete Sweeney to discuss all this and more.SportsBeat KC is the sports podcast of The Kansas City Star and KCUR, hosted by Blair Kerkhoff.

LT and Chuck are in the house to recap all things combat sports this past weekend. The guys talk about Dricus Du Plessis' dominate win over Kamaru Usman and what's next for both guys before recapping the rest of the card. Next, they'll touch on Johnny Eblen's victory in the rematch over Impa Kasanganay as well as the rest of the PFL Austin card. Conor McGregor & Dana White both confirmed that Conor injured his ACL and the guys will predict what this means for his future and the division moving forward. Lastly, they'll touch on the emotional return of Ben Askren and everything else that went down at RAF 11 in Milwaukee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, turns out Conor McGregor blew out both his ACL and meniscus when he tried to do that flying kick against Max Holloway at UFC 329. Pretty much broke his whole shit, which means he's probably out until at least next summer. As Dana White is quick to point out to everybody who has asked, Conor's knee is so “fucked up” (his words) that it's not even really worthwhile discussing what might be next for him until he's healed up and ready to go again. Oh, and in case you're wondering, Conor has decided it was actually GOOD that he destroyed his knee and lost to Max because, had he won, something much worse might have happened. No, we are not kidding you. Plus, Dricus du Plessis did pretty much what we thought he would do to Kamaru Usman en route to a unanimous decision victory Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Oklahoma City. Maybe the biggest surprise was it didn't seem like it was Usman's knees that cost him the fight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Youth Soccer, the World Cup, and America's Pay-to-Play Problem 6 to 8 Weeks: Perspectives in Sports Medicine Runtime:~23 minutes Episode Summary With the World Cup underway, the hosts ask a controversial question: why isn't the US better at men's soccer, given a talent pool that dwarfs countries like Belgium and Norway? The conversation pivots from there into the real subject of the episode — how America's pay-to-play youth sports system is driving both a talent gap and a youth injury epidemic, especially ACL and overuse injuries in young athletes. Timestamps 00:00 — Intro Welcome and standard disclaimer: discussion is for informational purposes only, not professional medical advice. 00:30 — Why isn't the US better at men's soccer? Framing question for the episode: the US has far more people than countries that regularly outperform it (Belgium, population 11.8M; Norway, population 5.6M), yet can't compete at the same level on the men's side — a contrast with the sustained success of the US women's national team. 02:30 — Setting up the real topic: youth injuries Transition into ACL and overuse injuries in young athletes, particularly young females, and how that connects to the US youth development model. 03:00 — The pay-to-play system How youth sports shifted over the past ~10–25 years from school and community leagues to private club/travel teams. Families now spend as much as $20,000/year on travel soccer and baseball. 05:00 — The numbers behind the industry Youth sports is cited as a ~$40 billion industry. Comparison of costs: a recreational league (e.g., AYSO) runs roughly $140–150/year, while an entry-level travel team runs about $1,700 and an academy-level club team about $3,500 — before uniforms, extra practices, or private coaching. 07:00 — Is this just a soccer problem? Discussion of whether this trend is soccer-specific or affects baseball, basketball, and volleyball too (it's across the board). The disappearance of casual pickup games and rec leagues in favor of organized, paid leagues. 09:00 — US vs. European development models European countries emphasize multi-sport participation and general athleticism (coordination, core strength) over early performance and specialization. Cited participation gap: roughly 90% multi-sport participation in some European countries vs. a steep drop-off in the US. 11:00 — The scholarship reality check The odds of a young athlete earning a college scholarship or going pro are extremely low. Recommendation: decisions about youth sports should center on the child's enjoyment and development, not a scholarship or pro chase. 13:00 — Why specialization raises injury risk Explanation of how single-sport specialization leads to repetitive stress on the same body parts, and how kids aren't developing the balanced strength, coordination, and movement patterns that protect against injury. European academy model contrasted as more balance- and skill-focused. 15:00 — Specialization and injuries at the pro level Early specialization linked to earlier injuries in professional athletes — for example, NBA players who specialized young tearing Achilles tendons earlier in their careers, and a rise in Tommy John (elbow) surgeries among teenage baseball players. Also: level of soccer access is often a financial decision, not a quality/skill decision — elite club access can cost $30,000+/year. 17:00 — Socioeconomic and geographic inequity Access to elite club teams correlates with socioeconomic status and geography. Talented kids in lower-income areas may never be discovered because showcases and elite coaching are gated by cost. 19:00 — The one big change If they could change one thing about the system: delay specialization and actively encourage multi-sport participation, especially early on, to reduce overuse injury risk. Advice for parents on how to guide kids toward a broader athletic foundation. 21:00 — Wrap-up and World Cup predictions Lighter closing segment with picks for the World Cup winner Key Takeaways The US pay-to-play youth sports model filters talent by financial access rather than ability — a likely contributor to underperformance in men's soccer relative to population size. Early single-sport specialization is linked to higher rates of ACL tears and overuse injuries in youth athletes, and earlier injuries in those who go on to play professionally. European development models emphasize multi-sport participation and general athleticism over early specialization and performance metrics. The likelihood of a scholarship or professional career is very low — a useful reframe for parents weighing time and financial investment in club sports. Socioeconomic and geographic barriers likely mean talented young athletes go undiscovered simply due to lack of access.

Spring Cleaning – Dallas StarsThe Dallas Stars entered the 2025-26 season with Stanley Cup expectations after three consecutive trips to the Western Conference Final and four straight 100-point seasons. Instead, Dallas suffered another painful postseason disappointment, falling to the Minnesota Wild in six games during the opening round. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine the Stars' dramatic swings in performance, the devastating injuries that depleted their lineup, and the difficult decisions awaiting General Manager Jim Nill as he attempts to extend the championship window of one of the NHL's most talented—but increasingly veteran—teams.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Dallas Stars finish second in the Central Division before losing to Minnesota in six games during the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Neil and Vic discuss the consistently high expectations surrounding a team that has averaged more than 107 points over the last five full seasons.[00:01:00] The conversation turns to Dallas' repeated playoff disappointments after three consecutive trips to the Western Conference Final. Glen Gulutzan returned for his second stint behind the Stars' bench, following a long line of respected coaches who were also unable to lead the organization back to the Stanley Cup Final.[00:01:45] Neil explains how the strength of the Central Division and the NHL's current playoff format creates an extremely difficult opening-round matchup for any team finishing second or third. Dallas knew for months that Minnesota would likely be its opponent, but still could not find a way through one of the league's deepest teams.[00:02:00] Vic reviews the Stars' wildly inconsistent regular season. Dallas followed a 14-1-2 stretch with a 2-6-4 slide, then produced a 14-0-1 run that included 10 consecutive victories before struggling again late in the year. The panel discusses why the Stars can look unbeatable at their best and completely vulnerable when their game disappears.[00:03:00] Dallas' recent playoff history is placed under the microscope. The Stars surrendered a 2-1 series lead against Edmonton in 2024, struggled offensively against the Oilers again in 2025, and then lost another 2-1 series advantage against Minnesota after allowing a late lead to slip away in Game 4.[00:04:00] Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston each score 45 goals, but the offense drops sharply after the two young stars. Mikko Rantanen is revealed to have suffered a torn MCL during the Olympics, limiting his effectiveness after returning for the final 10 games of the regular season.[00:05:00] The Stars' extensive injury list is examined. Tyler Seguin suffers a season-ending torn ACL, Roope Hintz tears his hamstring shortly after returning from the Olympics, while Miro Heiskanen, Radek Faksa, Michael Bunting, and Nils Lundkvist also deal with significant injuries during the playoff push.[00:06:00] Neil and Vic debate how much the injuries contributed to the first-round exit. While every playoff team deals with health issues, Dallas lost several high-impact players whose absence significantly reduced the club's offensive depth and ability to compete with Minnesota.[00:07:00] Attention shifts to the offseason facing three-time General Manager of the Year Jim Nill. Dallas owns only five selections in the 2026 NHL Draft, with no picks in the first or third rounds after aggressively trading future assets to acquire veteran help.[00:07:45] The Stars enter the offseason above the projected salary cap before the July reset. Their unrestricted free agents include captain Jamie Benn, Michael Bunting, Adam Erne, Nathan Bastian, Alex Petrovic, and Kyle Capobianco.[00:08:00] Jason Robertson headlines Dallas' restricted free agent class after another elite goal-scoring season. Neil describes Robertson as one of the NHL's premier natural finishers and expects his next contract to become one of the largest and most important negotiations of Jim Nill's tenure.[00:09:00] The discussion turns to the aging portion of the Stars' core. While Robertson and Johnston remain young franchise pillars, longtime veterans Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin are approaching the final stages of their careers, forcing Dallas to consider when and how to begin retooling the roster.[00:10:00] The episode concludes with a difficult question surrounding Jamie Benn's future. Neil praises Benn's leadership, toughness, and lasting impact as captain, but acknowledges that Jim Nill must eventually decide whether to continue with the veteran core or transition the team toward a new generation of leadership.

Napoli has a true hometown story brewing in the engine room. In this episode, we chart the remarkable journey of 23-year-old Neapolitan midfielder Antonio Vergara. Far from an overnight success, Vergara's path to the first team was forged through gritty lower-league loans and a devastating ACL injury. We analyze his classical number ten style, his tactical value as a silky left-footed creator, and the marquee moments that proved he belongs on the grandest stage.Here is what we are breaking down this week:Breaking down his 182 cm frame, technical half-space orchestration, and surprisingly intense modern press.

Four-time Pro Bowler. 85 catches. 1,013 yards last season in New England — coming off a torn ACL playing only 55% of snaps. Found not guilty in May. Released by the Patriots purely for cap reasons. And right now, he's the most proven, most productive wide receiver still available in the entire NFL. He's a four-time Pro Bowler with elite route running, a short area game that Kyle Shanahan would absolutely weaponize, and the kind of experience that makes a young receiver room better just by being in the building. 

The ACL Isn't the Problem: What Youth Sports Is Getting Wrong About Female Athletes | Dr. Holly Silvers-GranelliACL injuries are reaching epidemic levels in youth sports, high school athletics, college competition, and professional sports. Female athletes are tearing ACLs at alarming rates despite better coaching, more strength training, advanced technology, and greater access to sports medicine than ever before.So why are these injuries continuing to rise?In this eye-opening episode of Crackin' Backs, we sit down with Dr. Holly Silvers-Granelli, one of the world's leading experts in ACL injury prevention. Her groundbreaking research has helped shape injury prevention programs used around the globe and recently gained national attention through her work featured in The New York Times.But this conversation isn't about repairing knees.It's about asking a bigger question:What if the ACL tear is simply the warning light on the dashboard?Dr. Silvers-Granelli explains why the real issues often begin long before the ligament fails—through movement patterns, neuromuscular control, youth sports specialization, recovery deficits, coaching practices, and athlete development.We explore:• Why ACL injuries continue to rise despite more training and sports performance programs • The hidden movement signatures that may predict injury months or years before it occurs • Why the hip, trunk, brain, and nervous system matter as much as the knee itself • The unintended consequences of year-round sports participation and early specialization • What parents, coaches, and athletes should be watching for right now • How force plates, AI, wearable technology, biomechanics, and video analysis are changing injury prevention • Whether we are approaching a future where ACL injuries can be predicted before they happen • The most important change Dr. Silvers-Granelli would make in youth sports tomorrowWhether you're a parent, coach, healthcare professional, athletic trainer, physical therapist, strength coach, or athlete, this episode provides practical insights that could help keep athletes healthy, performing, and on the field.Because the future of sports medicine may not be about treating injuries.It may be about preventing them altogether.About Dr. Holly Silvers-GranelliDr. Holly Silvers-Granelli, PhD, MPT, is an internationally recognized researcher, clinician, and educator specializing in ACL injury prevention, sports performance, biomechanics, and neuromuscular training.

Built in the Pit: Chris Duffin on Resilience, Accountability, and the Discipline to Rise What does resilience look like when the motivational speech ends and the difficult work remains? On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Show, CJ sits down with world-record strength athlete, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and resilience mentor Chris Duffin, widely known as the Mad Scientist of Strength. Chris's understanding of adversity was formed long before he entered a gym or built globally recognized companies. He grew up homeless in the wilderness, experienced extreme poverty and violence, cared for younger siblings, and learned survival responsibilities at an age when most children are still being protected from danger. Rather than allowing those circumstances to define the limits of his future, Chris developed an extraordinary belief in his ability to adapt, solve problems, and rebuild.

This week, Dr. Brian Feeley, Chief of Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery at UCSF and team physician for the San Francisco Giants, joins the shoe to share what decades of treating athletes and everyday patients have taught him about movement, strength training, and injury prevention. The discussion covers everything from running, skiing, cycling, and youth sports to shoulder impingement, ACL tears, and the realities of exercising in middle age. Feeley explains why many common beliefs about joint health and injury risk don't hold up to the evidence, how to think about strength training without getting sidelined, and why variety may be one of the most overlooked components of a sustainable fitness routine. They also discuss the hype surrounding peptides, the science of recovery, and the emerging research on muscle regeneration and healthy aging. It's a jam-packed episode and Dr. Feeley is a wonderful guest, hope you enjoy.

Every sports physical therapist remembers the first time they handed a young, anxious athlete an MRI report filled with terms like "partial-thickness tear," "labral fraying," or "degenerative changes." It is a defining moment in a clinician's career. Instantly, the psychological landscape of the rehab process shifts. The athlete, who might only have mild, intermittent symptoms, suddenly views their joint as a ticking time bomb. As a clinician, it is incredibly easy to let that piece of paper dictate your entire treatment plan, leading to over-protection and a fear-avoidant rehab environment.The reality of dealing with overhead athletes—especially baseball pitchers—is that structural abnormalities on an image are often just the cost of doing business. If you scan enough high-level shoulders, you are going to find fraying and partial tears in completely asymptomatic arms. The real skill lies in balancing those structural findings with the actual human being sitting on your treatment table. How do you maintain clinical objectivity when the scan says one thing but your manual muscle testing and special tests say another?On this episode of the podcast, we answer a great question from a listener struggling to navigate this exact scenario with a collegiate pitcher. We discuss how to educate a freaked-out athlete, when to respect the structural pathology, and how to ensure you are treating the functional deficits rather than just chasing a clean image. Check out this week's episode for our full breakdown and clinical pearls on mastering the physical exam.To see full show notes and more, head to: https://mikereinold.com/stop-treating-the-mri-and-start-treating-the-athlete/Learn our proven system for sports PTs who want to master ACL rehab, confidently progress patients, and guide athletes safely back to high-level sport.Click here to learn more Click Here to View My Online CoursesWant to learn more from me?

In this episode, we open up about the side of ACL rehab that almost no one prepares you for, the mental toll that runs right alongside the physical recovery. We talk about why this process is a rollercoaster and not the clean linear path people expect, why the negative thoughts tend to hit harder than the wins, and what happens when the crutches ared done and everyone around you assumes you are fine while you are still deep in it. Whether you are an athlete fresh off surgery, someone years out still searching for answers, a clinician guiding these cases, or a parent or partner supporting someone you love, this one is a reminder that the mental half of recovery deserves just as much attention as the physical, and that no one should be walking this road alone._________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is in high spirits despite a less than optimal end to his final season with the Warriors. The 32-year-old suffered an ACL injury in the opening minutes of the away game against the St George Illawarra Dragons in May, taking him out of the season. But instead of sitting on the sidelines, he's teamed up with Sky to be their expert analysis for the rest of the season, and his first home game in the role is this weekend's clash against the Dragons. Tuivasa-Sheck told Mike Hosking he was devastated to leave the club that way, as he had big plans for the season before it was cut short. “I was really, really sad, really gutted that that was my last inning for the club,” he said. “I've really invested a lot into the club of the Warriors and I love that place ... but that period has passed and I'm in a better place now.” Tuivasa-Sheck says he's all about “pumping up” the club and trying to do good things for it, and working on Sky is one such thing he can do.

The Giants gained several legitimate starters and one unforgettable Super Bowl moment from their 2008 draft class, but they sacrificed years of potential production when injuries repeatedly struck the group's most promising players.Kenny Phillips appeared to be developing into a high-level NFL safety before recurring knee problems changed his career. Terrell Thomas recorded 10 interceptions over two seasons before undergoing three ACL reconstructions on the same knee. Jonathan Goff became a full-time starter in 2010 before consecutive ACL tears ended his playing career.Mario Manningham gave the class its lasting legacy. His 38-yard sideline reception from Eli Manning opened the game-winning drive in Super Bowl XLVI and remains one of the greatest catches in Giants history.Drew and Rob review all seven selections, including Bryan Kehl, Andre' Woodson and Robert Henderson. They examine what each player accomplished with the Giants, where their careers went afterward and what they are doing after football.Was this a genuinely successful draft class derailed by circumstances outside the Giants' control, or does Manningham's Super Bowl moment carry too much of the class's reputation?Follow 2 Giants Goofballs on Spotify and leave a five-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts.

Most clinicians focus on what they do to a patient. What they miss is everything happening before that ever starts. In this episode, John Allan, DPT sits down with Dr. Katie Dabrowski, co-owner of Old Bull Athletics and neuroscience faculty at Nova Southeastern University, to break down the controllable factors that shape a patient's nervous system, and why performance-focused rehab beats the standard model. What they cover:How the clinical environment itself raises or lowers threat before a single exercise happensWhy "convincing" a patient they're wrong about their pain backfires, and what to do insteadThe two-question filter for every intervention: is it changing physiology, and is it changing psychology?Why ice and prolonged passive treatment fail to prepare athletes for the demands of return to sportHow to choose objective tests that actually mean something instead of chasing data for its own sakeReading a patient's confidence and fear without asking them to spell it out for youHow to shape a patient's perception of rehab before they ever walk through the doorIf you've ever wondered why two patients with the same injury heal at completely different rates, this episode reframes what actually drives outcomes, and why it starts long before the first rep.Social Media:Rehab2PerformR2P AcademyDr. Katie Dabrowski

Know Your Rival season kicks off with the team the Seahawks have held without a touchdown in their last two matchups - the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle closed out the regular season with a 13-3 win at Levi's Stadium, blew the doors off them in a 41-6 divisional round rout, and then celebrated a Super Bowl in the Niners' own locker room. So what's left of San Francisco after a season like that? We break down a defense that finished dead last in the NFL in sacks and somehow worse in interceptions, a coaching staff that just lost its DC to the Titans (and lost their OC to us), and a receiver room that has almost completely turned over. Then there's Brandon Aiyuk, whose contract standoff and new beef with Jayden Daniels might be the messiest subplot in the NFL. We also dig into the cap sheet. Brock Purdy's deal won't be ugly for a couple years, but Nick Bosa's coming off his third ACL tear and it could be his last season if things don't go well for him ahead of a potential out in his contract. While San Francisco is sitting on the league's biggest amount of cap space, it seems as though there nothing obvious to spend it on apart from future obligations coming due. In the second half of the show, we look at where ESPN's roster power rankings actually put the Seahawks compared to the rest of the NFC contenders, announce our group tickets for the home opener banner-raising game, and hand out Do Better and Better at Life honors, including a former member of the Seahawks front office who just became the Vikings general manager.

In this episode, we break down why your knee extension might feel stuck after ACL surgery, and it is not about weakness or effort. We walk through arthrogenic muscle inhibition, a new EMG study showing how the brain co-activates the hamstrings to protect the knee, and the exact assessment and hamstring fatiguing drills to test if that protecting is what is holding back your extension. If you are an ACL athlete stuck trying to get extension back or a clinician managing this exact case, this episode gives you a new angle to add to what you are already doing.Knee Extension Assessment + ExerciseEarly Neuromuscular and Co-activation Patterns After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction In Males: A Case-control Exploratory Feasibility Study - Ricupito 2026_________Want a clear plan for your ACL rehab?1 on 1 Remote ACL Coaching is for ACLers who are tired of guessing.

Big Sal is fired up this morning after staring at one number that has him out of his chair. While the entire football world obsesses over Caleb Williams taking a leap and Minnesota's spinning quarterback carousel, nobody is saying what needs to be said out loud: Have we even seen the best of Jordan Love yet? The cold, unsentimental tape from Pro Football Focus doesn't lie, and it tells the story of a quarterback who already made a definitive leap while riding a broken-down sled through a Wisconsin ditch. Jordan Love finished with an 88.7 PFF passing grade, good for third among all qualified NFL quarterbacks, with PFF themselves calling it a "definitive leap" The Packers started a league-high 27 different offensive players, with their most common offensive line combination playing together just 17.6% of snaps — dead last in football Key weapons disappeared for huge stretches: Jayden Reed played only seven games, Christian Watson missed the first six, and Tucker Kraft (leading all tight ends at 15.3 yards per catch) tore his ACL after eight games Despite the carnage, Love threw 27 touchdowns to just six interceptions, posted a passer rating over 100, and advanced metrics said this team had a top-three floor if they had simply stayed healthy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

"You, friend, listening to this, watching this right now, you are good. Period." ~ Pat MilleaWhat's the real difference between failing at something and believing you are a failure?Why does the world have a vested interest in convincing you your worth is something you have to go earn?What happens when you build your identity on your mission instead of on your relationship with God?In episode 104 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea sit with a truth most of us know in our heads but rarely trust in our hearts: you are good, not because of what you do, but because of who made you. Kenna opens up about a moment in spiritual direction that cracked something open for her, realizing that failing has to do with her actions, but shame goes deeper, straight to her sense of being.They walk through a simple framework from their own spiritual direction called RIM: relationship, identity, and mission, moving clockwise like the rim of a bowl. Relationship with God comes first, identity flows from that relationship, and mission flows from identity. Most of us live it backwards, chasing our mission first and letting our performance tell us who we are, which is exactly how one bad meeting, one lost client, or one hard parenting moment convinces us we're worthless.Pat shares a story from his years in youth ministry about a student whose entire identity was wrapped up in sports, and what happened to that identity the moment a torn ACL took the sport away. They also get into the difference between true humility and the "fishing for compliments" version so many Christians default to, and close with two of their favorite lines on identity, one from Aslan in Prince Caspian, and one from a fifth century doctor of the church named Peter Chrysologus.Episode 104 Show NotesReflection QuestionsChapters:(00:00) - Cold Open(00:47) - Welcome Back and Today's Topic(01:20) - The Good or Bad Game(07:01) - Highs and Hards(13:09) - Failing vs. Feeling Shame(15:26) - The World's Vested Interest in Your Insecurity(19:02) - The Athlete Who Lost His Identity(25:00) - Introducing the RIM Framework(28:05) - Living It Backwards(34:57) - Why We'd Rather Hustle Than Rest(41:15) - Holding Sin and Goodness Together(45:13) - Two Closing Quotes on Identity(48:38) - Closing PrayerLinks and Resources:Prince Caspian by C.S.

Big Sal is fired up this morning after staring at one number that has him out of his chair. While the entire football world obsesses over Caleb Williams taking a leap and Minnesota's spinning quarterback carousel, nobody is saying what needs to be said out loud: Have we even seen the best of Jordan Love yet? The cold, unsentimental tape from Pro Football Focus doesn't lie, and it tells the story of a quarterback who already made a definitive leap while riding a broken-down sled through a Wisconsin ditch. Jordan Love finished with an 88.7 PFF passing grade, good for third among all qualified NFL quarterbacks, with PFF themselves calling it a "definitive leap" The Packers started a league-high 27 different offensive players, with their most common offensive line combination playing together just 17.6% of snaps — dead last in football Key weapons disappeared for huge stretches: Jayden Reed played only seven games, Christian Watson missed the first six, and Tucker Kraft (leading all tight ends at 15.3 yards per catch) tore his ACL after eight games Despite the carnage, Love threw 27 touchdowns to just six interceptions, posted a passer rating over 100, and advanced metrics said this team had a top-three floor if they had simply stayed healthy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Welcome to a special "Daily DiCecco" podcast series focused on past Eagles training camp legends – either big-name prospects who entered their rookie camp with high expectations but didn't pan our, or lesser-known prospects who became household names in camp.The first guest of our "Training Camp Legends" series is former Eagles tight end Cornelius Ingram, a 2009 fifth-round pick who would've gone higher in the draft if not for an ACL injury in college. He was "one of the most talked about" prospects at Lehigh but suffered another ACL injury and never played an NFL snap.Great interview by Andrew!► Subscribe to our Patreon Channel for exclusive information not seen or heard anywhere else and become among smartest Birds fans out there (just ask our members!!) + get all of our shows commercial free!!https://www.patreon.com/insidethebirds► Sign up for our newsletter! • Visit http://eepurl.com/hZU4_n.►Support our sponsors!!► Camden Apothecary: https://camdenapothecary.com/Follow the Hosts!► Follow our Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/InsideBirds► Follow Geoff Mosher on Twitter: https://twitter.com/geoffpmosher► Follow Adam Caplan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/caplannfl► Follow Andrew DiCecco on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andrewdiceccoNFL insider veterans take an in-depth look that no other show can offer!

Building a sports physical therapy practice used to follow a predictable playbook. You opened your doors, printed some business cards, and spent your Friday afternoons dropping off food at local orthopedic clinics hoping to get on their referral list. For decades, doctor relationships were the lifeblood of private practice growth. But the modern healthcare consumer operates differently. Today, even when a physician hands a patient a specific script, that patient immediately pulls out their phone to check Google reviews, Instagram feeds, and website content before booking an appointment.This shift has created a massive fork in the road for early-career professionals and aspiring clinic owners. Is the classic physician marketing route dead, or is it still the most reliable way to build a sustainable caseload? On the flip side, does a massive social media footprint actually translate into paying clients, or is it just an expensive vanity metric that takes time away from clinical care? If you were launching a brand-new hybrid performance facility today with zero brand awareness, where should you actually spend your time and marketing dollars?In this week's episode of The Ask Mike Reinold Show, the crew dives headfirst into this exact dilemma. We break down the real-world math behind direct-to-consumer marketing versus physician networking, and share the exact strategy we would use if we had to start Champion from scratch today. Tune in to find out which avenue deserves your focus so you can build a thriving practice without wasting your time.To see full show notes and more, head to: https://mikereinold.com/physician-referrals-vs-online-presence-which-one-grows-your-sports-pt-clinic-faster/Learn our proven system for sports PTs who want to master ACL rehab, confidently progress patients, and guide athletes safely back to high-level sport.Click here to learn more Click Here to View My Online CoursesWant to learn more from me?
