Just like you clean your house, your car, your locker, or your workspace, you should routinely clean your mind too. Call it brain scrubbing.

We spend a lot of time organizing our physical environment, but not nearly enough time clearing out the mental clutter that accumulates from every day, stress, negative thoughts, worry, pressure, and general noise that piles up over time.

For some people, brain scrubbing looks like a walk.
For others, it’s prayer, journaling, meditation, training, reading, or simply sitting in silence for a few minutes.

It doesn’t have to look the same for everyone and the important thing is that you make time for it.

Your brain deserves maintenance just like the rest of your body. Protect your mental space, clear out the clutter, and keep your mind operating at top capacity.

People support athletes on the field, court, track, course, rink, and everywhere else competition happens.

What often gets overlooked is how much support athletes need away from their sport too because being an athlete comes with pressure to perform meet often unrealistic expectations, and to be strong even when things feel heavy.

Mental health is important for everyone, but athletes often carry a unique burden that many people never see.

To the athletes quietly wrestling with something right now, we see you and we support you.

As a reminder, you never truly know what someone else is carrying so just be kind.

Check on your teammates, check on your friends, and listen when someone needs to talk.

Sometimes a simple conversation, a little kindness, or just being willing to listen can be the difference between crisis and calm.

Please, if someone ever asks you to sit down and talk, don’t ignore them. They probably need and trust you more than you know.

Summertime is for friends, food, fun, and laughter. It also has a lot of late nights, trips, hanging out, and making memories.

Summer is also when habits can quickly disappear.

Sleep schedules get inconsistent, nutrition slips, training loses structure, and bad decisions start replacing good routines.

The discipline you maintain during the summer often determines how prepared you are for the next season.

You can’t build elite performance on a weak foundation.

What you do now matters later so get on a schedule, protect your habits, train with intention, and recover with purpose.

Enjoy the summer, but don’t lose yourself in it.

Future you will thank you for the work you put in now.

In the scorebook, wins are marked with a W and strikeouts are marked with a K.

No matter how talented, prepared, or focused you are, strikeouts are going to happen in life.

You’re going to fail sometimes, miss opportunities, and get beat.

The WorK you do behind the scenes helps reduce the risk of strikeouts and increases your chances of success when your moment comes.

Training, recovery, discipline, mindset, and consistency can help stack the odds in your favor.

At the end of the day, you still have a choice in how you prepare and how you respond. So what kind of work are you choosing?

Stuff to help you W or K?

Growth will challenge you in ways you never fully understand at the time and the hard moments rarely make sense while you’re in them.

Those moments are usually the ones shaping you the most because growth demands discomfort, patience, and intense perseverance.

Sometimes you’ll have an entire stadium cheering you on and other times, the climb feels lonely and quiet.

Climb anyway!

Keep pushing even when you’re tired, keep showing up even when progress feels slow, and keep growing even when the process leaves you winded.

Strength is usually built in the moments where quitting would’ve been easier.

Life is a climb.

Some days you feel strong and steady and other days feel uphill both ways in the snow the entire way.

There will be highs, lows, and moments where progress feels slow or invisible.

Keep climbing even when mental health struggles make even small steps feel heavy.

Sometimes perseverance doesn’t look loud or dramatic, it looks like simply getting through the day.

Keep going, rest when you need to, and lean on people when you need support to take the next step when you’re ready.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to keep moving forward.

The climb is part of the process and I promise you’re stronger than you think.

Today is Memorial Day, a day to remember and honor the military personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for our freedoms.

Many gave their lives on the battlefield and others returned home carrying battles no one else could see.

May is also Mental Health Awareness Month, and far too many veterans face mental health struggles, isolation, and internal enemies long after their service ends.

Today we remember all who sacrificed for others, both seen and unseen.

Today I leave you with this reminder: No matter who you are, what uniform you wore, or what battle you’re fighting, there is help available.

You are not alone!

Honor the fallen, support the living, and check on your people.

There are always treatments, procedures, and workouts nobody likes doing.

You know the exercises that burn, the mobility work that makes it feel like a leg will pop off, and treatments that makes you question our intentions for a few minutes.

We get it. We don’t exactly enjoy inflicting that kind of discomfort either…or do we?

Nah. Mostly kidding. At the end of the day, it’s all done with one goal in mind of helping you get better.

Growth and recovery aren’t always comfortable. Sometimes the things that help the most are the things people least want to do. Embrace the suck!

So thank you for trusting the process, for showing up, doing the work, and buying into the plan even when it’s tough.

That trust matters more than you know.

Some rehab exercises are just cringy. Before everyone gets mad at this list; yes, everything has a time and place.

The problem is a lot of people forget the “time and place” part of exercise prescription.

If an athlete is sprinting, jumping, cutting, throwing, and hitting at a high level, clamshells aren’t the thing moving the needle anymore.

If a throwing athlete is producing high levels of force at extreme speeds, 2-pound dumbbells forever probably aren’t enough load to create adaptation.

No—standing on 14 unstable surfaces doesn’t make someone more athletic unless they’re preparing to compete during an earthquake.

Rehabilitation should evolve with the athlete.

The goal is to bridge the gap back to sport demands, not keep people trapped in low-level rehab forever.

Some of the stereotypical rehab exercises absolutely have value early on, but at some point, the dinosaurs belong in the museum.

Context, load, and progression matter. Rehab professionals and strength coaches, do better!

(Yes, I will die on the hill of hating clamshells)

We all have horror movies in life. In sports medicine and rehabilitation there are a few things that make us cringe every single time.

A few examples:

• Getting “cleared” by your doctor without any actual testing
• Coaches giving medical advice (which is illegal unless your coach is a clinician)
• Random social media trend exercises with zero context
• “Just wear the boot when you’re not playing”
• Asking AI to fully manage your healthcare decisions

Instant jump scares for clinicians everywhere.

Now before anyone gets too fired up, this trend is mostly satire and meant to be fun. Like most jokes, there’s usually a little truth hiding in there somewhere.

Healthcare is nuanced context matters, and shortcuts usually catch up eventually.

So yeah, consider this our sports medicine horror movie list.
