Progress to Success
It’s a new year and we all have hopes for improvement in many parts of our lives. Many of us still design new year’s resolutions or set annual goals. This is a time to start fresh and have a new perspective on life, family, and career. 2020 was a difficult year for all of us and one that we will remember for the good, the bad, and for change.
It is almost a month into the new year and goals or improved habits we have set may start to get shaky. Don’t give up or let the new habits go; keep to the plan and continue to climb. This new year of hope is a marathon, not a sprint. We are all completing our COVID vaccines, keeping a regular workout routine, and eating healthier. Our families have new activities, lifestyles, and continue to be safe. Keep the guard up and continue a good pace for a year’s endurance.
Mind: The new year brings innovative medical conferences and updated information. This will be another year for organizations to be creative with virtual conferences to hold members’ attention and engage interaction. The AOASM Clinical Conference will be THE 2021 conference in which to participate for innovative, quality, and “A-game” CME. Stay tuned for updates! Look to medical podcasts and audible books for education. These are great options for those physicians with a long commute by car, plane, train, or those who will be traveling.
Social media is also a great way to connect with others, but be sure to cut it off at a certain time each night. Give your mind a break. We as osteopathic sports medicine physicians have so much work on EMR, Zoom calls, and typing reports, etc. Try to unplug at a certain time each night to let the brain relax and recharge. Perhaps taking a 10-15 minute walk at lunch can help refresh and clear the mind. Set time aside each day when you get home from clinic or the office to sit down and unwind with family or friends/roommates. Enjoy and cherish the company of others because as states move into opening more facilities, many will jump back into their same pre-COVID routines.
Body: Continue to look at unique ways to keep up cardio exercise. Rowing and skiErging are excellent forms of cardio that we, as athletes, can do at home. These two exercises target many muscle groups to improve fitness. It is a great idea to look at videos that can explain the machines, technique, and how they improve cardiovascular health. Rowing and skiErging can also be meditative and generate a true mind-body connection.
One brand that is highly cited is Concept2®. The website is a great resource for instruction, workout and technique suggestions, and videos. These sports also have a growing social media group to help pump each other up and promote healthy competition! Look to Facebook, Instagram, or Google for group interaction, or create your own pod of athletes!
Spirit: So many factors play into a person’s spirit. Look to family and close friends with similar energy to lift you up. Again, I bring up connection and taking time to reach out to fellow colleagues within our organization. After each AOASM live conference, we all feel re-energized, our spirits lifted, happy, smarter, and fired up about our careers in sports medicine. AOASM is family and we are here for each other. Let’s continue to connect and lift each other up to success in 2021.

Basketball Sports Medicine and Science |
|
This book is designed as a comprehensive educational resource, not only for basketball medical caregivers and scientists, but for all basketball personnel. Written by a multidisciplinary team of leading experts in their fields, it provides information and guidance on injury prevention, injury management, and rehabilitation for physicians, physical therapists, athletic trainers, rehabilitation specialists, conditioning trainers, and coaches. All commonly encountered injuries and a variety of situations and scenarios specific to basketball are covered with the aid of more than 200 color photos and illustrations. Basketball Sports Medicine and Science is published in collaboration with ESSKA and will represent a superb, comprehensive educational resource. It is further hoped that the book will serve as a link between the different disciplines and modalities involved in basketball care, creating a common language, and improving communication within the team staff and environment.
