Great update from Greencastle-Antrim. We were told that Landon Bishop was discharged from the hospital and even rode the team bus home with his team last night 🙏

Upper Dublin advanced to the PIAA 5A State Tournament semifinals while Souderton & PW saw their successful seasons end. Check out the TNT (Tuff 'n Tuffer) recaps. @udhs_athletics @UDHSCardinals @pw_softball @SballSouderton suburbanonesports.com/articl…

This one is hard to see. The NIH Early Independence Award, one of the most competitive grants in the country for young scientists, will not go forward in FY2026. NIH says this is due to “administrative changes to funding opportunity processing and delays in approvals.”

A bunch of Ups and Downs for my Junior Season. Got hurt in our first game. Ended up missing 4-5 games and was in and out of the lineup for the first half of the year. Was able to full recover and bounce back by the end of the year. Looking forward to a great summer season with @elite_national2 H: 15 (9 1B, 4 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR) BB: 13 HBP: 2 0 Errors @jgrosse32 @ewall_0405 @UDCardinalPride @NextLVLProspect

Rehabilitation should be periodized. Most of the time, it isn't. Periodization means the systematic manipulation of training variables to build specific qualities in a planned sequence. In late-stage rehab, a practical force-to-performance sequence looks like this:

The most dangerous words in sports rehab: "Their symmetry looks good." Here's why: When an athlete deconditions post-injury, BOTH limbs lose capacity. So when you calculate a limb symmetry index comparing involved to uninvolved,

We measure quad strength to the decimal. We should be measuring fear with the same rigor. Psychological readiness is one of the most underused domains in return-to-sport assessment and research suggests it may be one of the most predictive.

Acceptable symmetry scores can hide dangerous movement strategies. Here's what to watch for WHILE your athlete is completing a hop battery or change-of-direction test:

Quick clinical guide: the 4 hop tests you should be using and why each one matters. Hop tests are a window into function. Don't mistake them for the full picture.

🦵 Crossover Hop for Distance: 3 hops while alternately crossing a center line. Makes frontal and transverse plane control visible. 🦵 6-Meter Timed Hop: Hop through a 6-meter course as fast as possible. LSI = uninvolved time ÷ involved time × 100.

🔑 Key rules: → Require controlled landings — not "saved" landings → Use consistent rest periods → Observe movement QUALITY, not just distance or time → Combine with strength data and self-report; never interpret alone

I use one clear decision node to make return-to-sport calls: hit all criteria, or don’t clear. It makes decisions simpler and documentation defensible. Learn how Athlete Motion Institute’s system reduces uncertainty: wix.to/df8tuQp #SportsPT

Let's settle this. I've asked this question in every continuing education room I've been in — and the answers are always split. 🗳️ POLL: When do you consider an athlete "officially" cleared for return to sport? Some answers lead to better outcomes than others.
0% Pass all hop tests > 90%
0% Pass multidomain battery
100% Finish graded progression
0% Surgeon signs off

Another huge win today. Went 1/2 with an Oppo 2B and 2 BB. Looking to keep it up the rest of the season. @elite_national2 @jgrosse32 @UDCardinalPride @NextLVLProspect
