AI tools are everywhere right now, and the ergonomics world is not immune to the hype. Some healthcare professionals are already looking to AI to do their assessments, generate their reports, and identify ergonomic risk on their behalf. And Darcie Jaremey has something to say about that. In this episode, Darcie makes a clear, direct argument: if you are relying on an AI tool to replace your clinical judgment in an ergonomics assessment, you are putting your clients, your reputation, and your business at serious risk. A one-size-fits-all AI report will not capture the intricacies of a specific workstation, cannot perform a true root cause analysis, and cannot defend you if a client is harmed and the matter goes to litigation.But this is not an anti-AI episode. Darcie also covers exactly where AI belongs in an ergonomics practice: as an efficiency tool on the front end of report writing, never as a replacement for your expertise.What you'll take away:Why office ergonomics is in-demand right now and why your expertise is the thing businesses actually needThe real risk of outsourcing your assessment thinking to a tool you don't controlWhat happens to your client data when you put it into a third-party AI platformWhy the details in your report are the exact thing clients can't replicate themselvesThe three tools inside Accelerate that add efficiency without replacing judgment: the swipe file, the equipment database, and the PHI redactor•       Why mentorship beats AI every time when you're building your ergonomics foundation If you've been wondering whether AI could shortcut the process of learning to do ergonomics assessments well, this episode will give you a straight answer. Resources mentioned in this episode:Ergonomics Blueprint (learn how to do office ergonomics assessments): ergonomicshelp.comAccelerate: The Business of Ergonomics (membership with tools, mentorship, and community): ergonomicshelp.com/bizOSHA Injury Cost Estimator: osha.govIf you're a healthcare professional and this episode got your wheels turning about office ergonomics - good.

Most leaders think self-awareness means understanding their patterns. Cam Yenokida sees where that falls short. The executive coach and founder of Achieve Excellence explains why intellectual self-awareness alone never changes anything, and what it takes to turn insight into new behavior. Cam and Brandon get into the quiet reality of senior leadership, where the higher you climb, the less room you have to think out loud. They talk about what actually makes a leader coachable, why assessments are a starting point and not an answer, and how a simple look at your calendar can reveal where your attention is really going. Cam spent 20 years in corporate leadership before starting his own practice. He shares the turnover problem that became a defining moment, the two-year onboarding approach behind it, and what separates leaders who are good from those who become excellent. About our guest Cam Yenokida is an executive coach and the founder of Achieve Excellence, based in Lake Oswego, Oregon. He spent more than 20 years in corporate leadership before starting his own practice, and he has facilitated over 200 leadership and team development workshops. Cam coaches leaders at every level, from solo entrepreneurs to senior executives, using a systematic approach built around diagnostics, planning, implementation, and follow-up. His focus is on helping leaders move from understanding their patterns to actually changing how they show up.

Training-run assessments conducted by a 3rd party should become a standard part of frontier AI safety. By a Training-Run Assessment, or TRA, I mean an in-depth analysis of the post-training pipeline and dynamics leading up to a frontier model release. A TRA can look at intermediate checkpoints, training rollouts, RL environments, reward signals, SFT datasets, and the process by which the developer responded to warning signs.[1] In this post I will argue that: Final-checkpoint evaluations will be insufficient to assess scheming risks.TRAs can be more effective at detecting scheming.Frontier developers should involve third parties to do TRAs or verify safety claims by the developers. The rest of the post lays out a taxonomy of TRAs and sketches a path toward a 3rd party ecosystem for them. We, at Apollo Research, are intending to conduct 3rd party Training-Run Assessments in the future. Detecting Scheming may require Training-Run Assessments By scheming I mean an AI covertly pursuing misaligned goals while deliberately concealing its intentions or capabilities from its developers. I restrict attention to “coherent” forms of scheming where the model pursues somewhat stable misaligned goals across context windows, rather than misalignment that surfaces only as isolated, context-dependent defections.

The Misfits are back talking about how hot it has been in Michigan, the upcoming GTA VI release and their undying love for Monica (Powers digital a.i assistant)

In this episode of the Future Learners podcast, Brett Campbell and Ellen Brown put the lens on the senior years. As families near Term 3, the pressure of Grade 11 and 12 climbs, and so does the anxiety. The short answer they keep coming back to: yes, you can switch to homeschooling as a senior student, even mid-year, and you can do it without losing a year of progress. Brett and Ellen walk through how Euka’s Grade 11 and 12 program works, the assessed and non-assessed streams, the university pathway recognised by over 100 universities across 18 countries, and the flexible fourth term that gives senior students room to breathe, work, and explore what comes next. They also answer the fear underneath almost every senior enquiry: without an ATAR or HSC, is the door to university closed? Ellen’s answer is that it is the opposite, and this episode explains why.

Key Points How the senior program is built Euka runs a full Grade 11 and 12 program with two streams: assessed (upload assessments, get teacher feedback, resubmit to lift your mark) and assessment-free (same subjects and assessments, self-directed, just no ATAR exams). English is the only mandatory subject; students choose five more from around 20 options, and external exams like piano or ballet can earn credit towards a subject. Subjects are one-year courses, so a student can change a subject a few weeks in, or start fresh with new subjects in Grade 12, which mainstream school rarely allows. Switching mid-year You can switch mid-year, including in Term 3 of Grade 12. Euka does not carry over school marks, but the student’s knowledge comes with them, and they can still finish the year with a full academic transcript. Euka does not run exams, which removes the ATAR and HSC pressure at the exact point in the year it usually peaks. The pathway beyond Grade 12 Euka’s university pathway is recognised by over 100 universities across 18 countries, with no ATAR required for entry. Senior students complete a diploma in their first year at the university’s college, which guarantees entry into second year of the degree and stands on its own if they choose not to continue. Grade 12 runs across three terms, leaving a flexible fourth term for work experience, volunteering, or exploring a passion before the next step. The single most asked question: can a senior student switch mid-year? The fear that holds most senior families back is timing. If Grade 12 has been hard, there is a strong pull to just finish the year, then make decisions off results that came from a difficult stretch. Ellen sees the pattern often. A student has been unwell, or a family situation has knocked Grade 12 off course, and by Term 3 the stakes and the pressure are both climbing. The student starts to withdraw, and the parent is left asking how to help. Switching mid-year breaks that bind. Students can start with Euka in Term 3, bring their existing knowledge with them, and still complete enough assessments and feedback to finish the year with a full academic transcript. “Whatever they’ve done in Term 1 and 2 at school can be brought forward in that they’ve got their knowledge. We don’t take their marks.”— Ellen Brown, co-founder and Head of Education, Euka The result is that a student who has had a rough first half of the year still gets the same opportunity at the end of it as if Grade 12 at school had gone well. How Grade 11 and 12 work at Euka Euka offers a full senior curriculum with two streams. The assessed stream is the one most students choose: they complete the same subjects and assessments, upload their work, and get feedback from the teaching team. The assessment-free stream covers the same content as a self-directed journey, finishing with a completion certificate rather than an academic transcript. Most families pick the assessed stream for the feedback, not because university is the goal. At school, feedback can feel like a verdict, a mark out of 100 with a list of what went wrong. At Euka, feedback is part of the learning. A student uploads an assessment, gets a mark alongside their strengths and the areas to improve, and can redo and resubmit the work to lift the result. “A student’s final results are up to the student, not up to what they know on a particular day.”— Ellen Brown English is the only mandatory subject. Students then choose five more from around 20 options, and Euka can credit external exams like piano or ballet. Because the subjects are one-year courses, a student who finds a subject is not the right fit a few weeks in can change it, and a student who did not enjoy their Grade 11 subjects can start fresh in Grade 12. The university pathway: over 100 universities, no ATAR needed There is a common assumption that without an ATAR or HSC, competitive university courses are closed. Ellen is emphatic that the opposite is true. Euka has a partnership recognised by over 100 universities across 18 countries, as well as every state around Australia. The university colleges have had their academic teams review Euka’s program and recognise it as equivalent to Grade 12, so students who meet the benchmark, around 70 per cent in the relevant subjects, have guaranteed entry. Here is how it works. In the first year, the student completes a diploma at the university’s college, sitting in the same lecture rooms but with smaller tutorial groups and extra academic support. Finishing the diploma guarantees a place in the second year of the degree. If they decide partway not to continue, they still hold a diploma, which sits higher than a Grade 12 certificate or a Cert III or IV. “You’re not picking a degree when you’re going on this Euka pathway, you’re actually picking a route.”— Ellen Brown Because the major is chosen at the end of first year, students do not have to lock in a decision before they even start. Ellen contrasts this with a student who goes straight from Grade 12 into first-year university, picks the wrong major, and leaves with nothing but a debt. Euka also handles the university applications, so families are not left navigating that part alone. The flexible fourth term: room to breathe, work and explore Grade 11 runs across four terms, building the foundation for the senior years. Grade 12 is structured over three terms, with assessments uploaded when the student is ready rather than against fixed due dates. That leaves a flexible fourth term, and Brett argues the breathing room it creates is one of the most underrated parts of the senior program. That space can go into work experience, a passion project, or volunteering. A student curious about a trade can spend a month in a workshop and learn quickly whether it fits. A student drawn to photography can chase that interest far enough to know if it is a path worth pursuing. Ellen points out a practical detail that often stops parents: work-experience insurance. It is simple to arrange, covers a three-month period, and costs less than $100, enough for a full term of trying something out. “There isn’t a door that has not opened for my own children when they just simply sent off an email saying, this is what I’m interested in doing.”— Ellen Brown Brett’s own thread through this is work ethic. It is not a subject you study, it is a behaviour you build, and he argues it is the single attribute he and other business owners look for most when hiring. His encouragement to senior students is direct: put your hand up, offer to help, and be willing to start on the broom before you build the house. Answered Questions Can I start homeschooling in Grade 11 or 12 mid-year? + Yes. Senior students can switch to Euka mid-year, including in Term 3 of Grade 12. Euka does not carry over school marks, but the student keeps their knowledge and completes enough assessments and feedback to finish the year with a full academic transcript. Can my child get into university after completing Grade 12 with Euka? + Yes. Euka has guaranteed-entry arrangements recognised by over 100 universities across 18 countries. The university colleges recognise Euka’s program as equivalent to Grade 12, so students who reach the benchmark, around 70 per cent in the relevant subjects, are guaranteed entry. No ATAR is required. “We guarantee that students who are keen to get into uni are able to do that anywhere in the country, or even if they want to go study in the US, they can do that too.”— Ellen Brown Does Euka provide a report card or academic transcript for Grade 11 to 12 students? + Yes. Assessed-stream students receive an academic transcript with their grades. Non-assessed students receive a completion certificate confirming they have finished Grade 11 and 12. Do Grade 11 and 12 students have to sit exams? + No. Euka does not run high-stakes exams. Assessments are uploaded for feedback and can be resubmitted. Removing exams is one of the ways Euka takes the ATAR and HSC pressure off senior students. Can my child change subjects between Grade 11 and 12? + Yes. In homeschooling the senior subjects are one-year courses, not the two-year lock-in of mainstream school, so a student can start fresh with different subjects in Grade 12 if Grade 11 was not the right fit. Why This Episode Matters A hard Grade 11 or 12 at school does not have to define what comes next. Senior students can switch mid-year, keep their progress, and finish with a full transcript, without the exam pressure that usually peaks in Term 3. The university door is wider than most families think. With guaranteed-entry pathways recognised by over 100 universities across 18 countries, and no ATAR required, a homeschooled senior student keeps every option open, and gains a diploma in the first year either way. Your Family, Your Journey Choosing to homeschool for your senior year is a genuinely viable option with Euka Future Learning. The assessed university pathway can guarantee you entry into over 100 universities across 18 countries without the requirement of an ATAR. For those students not seeking to go to Uni, our assessment-free path can be a breath of fresh air. Students still receive their Grade 12 certificate, but have the freedom and stress-free environment to learn in. New to homeschooling?

In dieser Folge von Werte-Impulse spreche ich mit Georg Dauth über DISG, profilingvalues und die Frage, warum kein einzelnes Modell ausreicht, um Menschen wirklich zu verstehen. Wir beleuchten die vier DISG-Verhaltensstile, sprechen über die Stärken und Grenzen von Typisierungen und darüber, warum Verhaltenspräferenzen noch keine Persönlichkeit, Kompetenz oder Leistung erklären. Georg berichtet aus über 25 Jahren Erfahrung als Trainer, Berater und Ausbilder und zeigt, wie unterschiedliche Modelle dabei helfen können, Kommunikation, Zusammenarbeit und Personalentwicklung wirksamer zu gestalten. Ein besonderes Augenmerk legen wir auf die Frage, warum gute Berater mehrere Perspektiven benötigen, um Menschen differenziert zu betrachten. Denn wer nur ein Instrument kennt, läuft Gefahr, alles durch dieselbe Brille zu sehen – oder, wie es Georg formuliert: Wer nur einen Hammer hat, für den wird jedes Problem zum Nagel.

The Data Usability Assessment (DUA) is a defined process that considers whether data meet project data quality objectives (DQOs) as they relate to the decision to be made and evaluates whether data are suitable for making that decision. DUAs are critical to ensuring that Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) and munitions constituents (MC) data are of the right type, quantity, and quality to meet project DQOs. The project-specific requirements for conducting the DUA process are defined during the Systematic Planning Process and documented in the project-specific QAPP. This webinar will discuss the DUA process for both MEC and MC during remedial investigation and remedial actions. At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to explain the purpose of DUA, identify the project team members required to participate, select the appropriate inputs, conduct the assessment, and document the DUA outputs. Presentations will be suitable for the varied M2S2 webinar audience, which typically includes government, regulator, and contractor attendees, and there will be opportunities for questions and discussion.

How do students learn physical assessments most effectively and transfer these skills to clinical practice? Traditionally, students learn to conduct a complete assessment over several weeks and demonstrate their competence by performing assessments under the observation of a faculty member. However, this standard approach may result in students merely memorizing the steps to pass the assessment, potentially leading to difficulties in transferring these skills to real clinical situations. To address this issue, the faculty implemented a video technology method, allowing students to record themselves while assessing a peer partner. Using Swivel® technology (https://www.swivl.com), students capture their assessments on video and complete a self-evaluation before submitting their videos for grading. In the podcast and article, Dr. Delanie explains the teaching strategy.

How do you bridge the divide between how leaders show up and what teams truly want? On this week's episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I sit down with Allison Howell, CEO of Hogan Assessments, to discuss their Leadership Divide Global Report, which draws on the responses from 9,794 employees across 25 countries. The findings challenge the conventional myths about what makes a great leader, and why charisma and ambition are not enough.Allison Howell pulls back the curtain on “emergent” versus “effective” leadership, sharing why the traits that get people promoted often undermine team success. We also dive into one of the other key findings; why the attributes executives display don't match what employees crave, with nearly zero overlap. Critical leadership qualities such as cultivating trust, integrity, and humility, build both teams and organizations up, no matter the cultural context. She also shares concrete examples of the most common derailers in Hogan's research: behaviors that fast-track promotions but quietly undermine trust and morale. Allison also offers a candid look at strategic self-awareness, the value of global perspective, and practical ways any organization can move from bias to balanced judgment.If you're a leader, or an aspiring one, this episode delivers the research and real-world tactics you need to inspire true followership and foster organizational excellence in an era of rapid change.What You'll Learn- The uncomfortable truth about reputation versus identity (and which one actually runs your career).- Emergence versus effectiveness: why the leaders who get promoted aren't the ones teams need.- Why your greatest strength can also become a derailer.- The global trust crisis and the surprising place leaders are best positioned to rebuild it.- Accountability: why employees are saying "you first." - Personality is climate, behavior is weather; what that means for your ability to change.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – What is Leadership?(03:57) - Reputation Versus Identity in Leadership Assessment(06:45) - The Leadership Divide: Key Findings and Surprises(10:49) - Leadership Emergence vs. Leadership Effectiveness(13:08) - Behaviors That Get Leaders Promoted (But Hurt Teams)(20:20) - Closing the Leadership Gap: Individual and Organizational Solutions(28:06) - Balancing Ambition, Confidence, and Humility(34:59) - Can Leadership Skills Be Developed?(38:10) - The Current Context of Leadership Expectations(45:52) - Cultural Differences in Leadership PreferencesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Hogan Assessments, Personality Assessment, Team Performance, Reputation vs Identity, Emergent Leadership, Leadership Gap, Charismatic Leadership, Strategic Self-Awareness, Leadership Development, Accountability, Integrity, Trust in Leadership, Communication Skills, Humility, Emotional Self-Regulation, Dark Side of Personality, 360 feedback, Global Leadership Trends, Data-Driven Selection, Cross-Cultural Leadership Differences, CEO Success

#252Have you ever wondered whether your tests, quizzes or assessments truly measure what your students can do with the language, or are they just looking at what students can memorize or explain about the language? In this episode we're diving into Integrated Performance Assessments, or IPAs, an effective way to assess how students are actually able to use the grammar, vocabulary and cultural understanding. An IPA assesses how students engage with the language through the interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational modes. If you've been working toward proficiency-based instruction and looking for assessments that align with those goals, this episode will help you with that.Topics in this Episode: Many teachers are moving toward proficiency-based instruction, but assessment often remains disconnected from communication goals.If our goal is communication, then assessment should provide opportunities for students to communicate.What is an Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA)? IPAs assess students through the three modes of communication: Interpretive, Interpersonal, PresentationalThe three tasks are connected rather than separate activities.Students move through a sequence that mirrors real-world communication: Receive information, Discuss information, Share informationAn IPA focuses on what students can do with language rather than how many grammar rules they can identify.Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win Course: Integrated Performance Assessments.A Few Ways We Can Work Together:Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win PD for Individual TeachersOn-Site or Virtual Workshops for Language DepartmentsSelf-Paced Program for For Language DepartmentsConnect With Me & The World Language Classroom Community:Website: wlclassrom.comInstagram:  @wlclassroomFacebook Group: World Language ClassroomFacebook:  /wlclassroomLinkedIn: Joshua CabralBluesky: /wlclassroom.bsky.sociaX (Twitter):  @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomSend me a text and let me know your thoughts on this episode or the podcast.

In this episode, Josh Hohbein of CentrexIT breaks down a practical, MSP-centric approach to risk assessments that moves beyond complex, consultant-driven reports and toward clear, actionable business outcomes. He shares how combining vulnerability scans, client interviews, and system configuration reviews, anchored in a cyber maturity model, helps MSPs translate technical findings into meaningful risk conversations, especially during onboarding. The discussion highlights the importance of ownership, communication, and collaboration in managing inherited client risk, while previewing a live demonstration session at Pack State Beyond, designed to equip MSPs with repeatable frameworks they can own. Ultimately, the episode reinforces that effective risk assessments aren't about identifying more issues; they're about enabling better decisions, strengthening governance, and driving measurable security maturity.

Coach Rob Jacobs on Program Design: Assessments, Nervous System State, and Making Training Actually StickTim Caron hosts Coach Rob Jacobs on the Performance Health Podcast to discuss what makes a “good program,” emphasizing the importance of selecting the right inputs to achieve the desired outputs. Rob outlines his programming workflow: starting with a neural performance map questionnaire to gauge motivation and nervous system stress, followed by a biomechanical assessment that directly informs exercise selection, splits, and cycle design, then narrowing ideals to practical constraints before later adding blood work. They unpack how to interpret failed table tests, when to temporarily correct limitations, and why changes must be reinforced with deliberate strengthening at high frequency. Rob explains balancing timelines, fixing key limiting factors, progressing load/sets/intensity, using consolidation or deload strategies when performance drops, and evaluating effectiveness through phase-to-phase testing and exercise sequencing. 00:00 Show Intro and Resources01:07 Rob Programming Workflow01:25 Assessments That Drive Training03:38 Interpreting Failed Tests07:03 Quick Fixes vs Lasting Change11:21 Unilateral Blocks and Timelines15:19 Balancing Goals and Constraints16:47 Case Study Fix the Weak Link20:15 Progress Tracking and Adjustments23:00 Load vs Intensity Explained24:44 Tracking Load Variables25:49 When Progress Stalls26:51 Consolidation Week Tactics28:23 Sending Athletes Home29:23 Avoiding Coach Bias31:17 Using Data To Pivot33:10 Modifying Hepburn Method35:00 Diagnosing Volume Vs Intensity38:04 Exercise Variation Strategy38:54 Measuring Program Effectiveness40:48 Testing GPP To SPP Carryover43:34 Realistic Progress Expectations44:23 Course Updates And Wrap Up

On the Performance Health Podcast, Tim Caron talks with Cal State Fullerton coach Alex Curro about his programming process and department approach, using men's basketball as a primary example. Curro explains how he starts with broad assessments (movement, body composition, strength testing, velocity-based training, and frequent force-plate monitoring) but prioritizes trend data over one-time pre/post tests to account for real-world variability. He discusses using normative force-plate data to guide goals, adjusting training based on fatigue patterns and season demands, and leveraging VBT to control rep quality and “earn” progression, while acknowledging limitations when VBT can't be applied to certain implements. They cover managing remote training by maximizing guaranteed supervised time, keeping off-campus programs simple and low-friction, and choosing advanced methods only when athletes can execute and understand them. Curro also reflects on how being a director changes programming oversight, staff evaluation, KPI selection by training phase, and the importance of communication, translation of sport-coach needs, relationships, and winning.

Employers love the idea of a hiring tool that does the hard work for them — a test that surfaces the right candidate before the interview even starts. But the gap between a useful assessment and a discrimination claim is narrower than most HR leaders realize, and in Massachusetts, the ground keeps shifting underneath them.This month, Terry Cook and Sarah Piscatelli walk Pete through the real stakes of pre-hiring assessments: what counts as job-related, what the EEOC has already shut down, and why the rise of AI-powered video interviews is creating a brand-new category of legal exposure. If your hiring process leans on any kind of test — physical, technical, behavioral, or otherwise — this is the conversation to hear before you run another candidate through it.Links & NotesAIM members can reach the HR Helpline at 800-470-6277 or helpline@aimnet.org for inquiries Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (EST).

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis sits down with Kevin — a Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) with deep experience in hospice/oncology floors, Level I trauma ICUs and ERs, military nursing, and years in austere environments, including a Role III in Baghdad. Kevin delivers straight talk on the most overlooked, time-consuming, and life-saving phase of Prolonged Field Care: nursing care.He answers the exact question every medic wants to know: When does nursing actually start? Then he walks through the full reality of what “nursing” means in the field — from relentless data gathering and charting, to turning patients, pulmonary toileting, skin care, oral care, managing the mess (yes, including bowel movements on litters), and preventing the downstream killers like pressure ulcers, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and sepsis that can undo even perfect damage-control surgery.You'll get practical austere hacks (including Kevin's legendary Barbasol shaving cream trick), training advice that actually works, how to know when the patient is truly stable, when to escalate to a provider, and why evacuation must remain the primary plan — not prolonged field care.Key Takeaways:PFC nursing starts the moment life-saving interventions (hemorrhage control, surgery, cric, chest tubes, etc.) are complete and the patient is stabilized — not during the gunfight or initial resuscitation.Skin care and turning patients prevents deadly complications — pressure ulcers, infections, and sepsis can kill a patient with otherwise survivable injuries.Austere game-changer: Barbasol shaving cream + washcloths cuts through blood, stool, grease, and debris without drying out skin. Bring cheap bottles.First hour priorities: frequent vitals/assessments, confirm stability, get fluids/sedation/maintenance running, then move to the full nursing checklist.Set clear “left and right limits” / parameters for teammates or non-nurses so you can actually rest, rearm, or plan the next mission.Best training: Work real ICU/floor shifts (especially weekends when staffing is thin) — mannequins and sims don't teach the time sink or the “why.”Mindset shift: Move from high-speed, high-adrenaline interventions to the “boring but essential” maintenance phase. If it feels boring, you're probably doing it right.Strategic reality: Evacuation (Medevac or CasEvac) should stay the P in your PACE plan. Prolonged field care with high casualty volumes and limited resources is an enormous time and math problem — history (WWII South Pacific, etc.) proves it.Chapters:01:50 – When Does Prolonged Field Care Nursing Actually Start?04:39 – The Foundation: Data Gathering, Assessments & Charting07:03 – The Full Laundry List of Bedside Nursing Interventions09:26 – How to Train Real Nursing Care (ICU Shifts Beat Mannequins)11:46 – The Critical First Hour: Settling In & Confirming Stability14:04 – Head-to-Toe Assessment, Pulmonary Toileting, Oral Care & Eye Care16:16 – Real Talk: Skin Care, Turning Patients, Bowel Movements & Preventing Ulcers/Sepsis20:50 – How Long Until the Patient Is Truly Stable?

Coach Joe Padula on Athlete Archetypes, Force Plates, and Set-Rep Best Programming (OU Softball & Women's Golf)Tim Caron introduces an episode of the Performance Health Podcast featuring University of Oklahoma coach Joe Padula, then they discuss Padula's programming process for new teams by preparing for the least-prepared athlete while still individualizing through movement archetypes, body types, and simple screens like the overhead squat. They explore how concepts like infrasternal angle and expansion/compression can inform exercise selection without overcomplicating coaching, using softball and women's golf examples and force-plate insights such as CMJ depth, eccentric braking, impulse, and propulsive power. Padula explains balancing absolute load with rep quality, avoiding compensations, and organizing athletes into training buckets while educating them with data. He details the set-rep best method to keep effort high but exertion low in-season to preserve bar speed and power, using plyos and sprinting for eccentric stimulus, and evaluating success via KPIs, health, engagement, and on-field performance.00:00 Podcast Intro and Guest01:06 Programming Process Overview02:09 Assessments and Movement Archetypes05:01 ISA Model and Sport Differences12:45 Force Plates and Physical Qualities16:24 Exercise Selection and Athlete Buy In20:55 In Season Loading Philosophy26:22 Set Rep Best Method Explained31:14 Effort Versus Exertion33:02 Power Expression In Season33:57 Time Crunch And Logistics35:15 Eccentrics Through Plyos37:44 Sprinting Builds Hamstrings39:54 Protecting Weight Room Time41:22 Measuring Program Success45:42 Winning And Accountability48:02 Sport Specific Indicators52:10 Self Appraisal And Balance56:20 Closing Thoughts And Thanks
