Thanks for the support and if you loved the way Patrick played then love this person, Julie Frymeyer. She designed and executed the rehab.

If you loved the way Kelce played then love this guy, David Glover. He spent the last 48 hours with Trav. And big shout out to TJ Hackler our Chiropractor who worked on him Sat/Sun.

When your players love their coach so much that they dress like him to go the Super Bowl. #BeGreat

15-1, #1 seed, 8-0 at home, so many injuries and a next man up mentality. We just won 3 X in 11 days, 2 away and vs. 2 playoff teams. To say that I am proud of this team is an understatement. Also, 21-1 since Christmas Day ‘23. Call us “Frauds” if u must. I know better! #GRIT

I am so emotional right now and being towards the end of my career, as a 2nd generation Athletic Trainer, I have waited a lifetime to see ATs get the recognition that they deserve. Thank you @NFL

On the bus ride into the stadium tonight, the fans kept giving us the double bird. Then I realized those are the two fingers that I wear my SB rings on. Coincidence? I think not!

Walked into Starbucks in Denver, I had my SB54 ring on. The barista said “oh you work for the Chiefs, what do you do?
I’m the athletic trainer, (puzzled look)
“I pick up the players that fall down and do everything possible to fix them so it doesn’t happen again.

I am biased but @PatrickMahomes and @StephenCurry30 remind me of each other. Passion, performance, leadership, love of the game. Humble but have a chip. Make ridiculous plays. Are the face of their leagues. Make people around them better. Everyone loves playing with them.

Warrior, father, husband, leader, and one of the best dudes ever to put on a uniform!

Twenty-nine drafts in my career and this was the most enjoyable for me. To watch Veach and his team work so systematically without chaos or egos was a great learning experience. That group is so damn good that I am not even sure those of us around them all the time even know.

After a 27 year wait to be a World Champion, I cannot fathom us being the AFC winner and then the NFL cancelling the SB. My heart goes out to all NCAA athletes especially seniors who have had seasons cancelled. I understand why, but still can’t imagine the 💔.

In NFL training camps we see dehydration levels dip to their lowest in day 3 and it takes til day 11 to normalize. We also see significant amounts of soft tissue injuries in that time period.

You know their athletic ability and have seen them lead us on the field but behind the scenes they have led our culture to a new level and especially in the athletic training room. I am grateful.

What a great coaching job to turn a team in 4 days. This game was all attitude and players doing what they are taught.
In my brief 26 years as the VOC-rarely have I been as proud of a @chiefs team as I am of this team-in 💯 hours to do a 180 and dominate a division opponent on the road in a short week is phenomenal! Leadership @Mathieu_Era @AnthonyHitchens @Shermanator_42 @proatc @AllenWright4

I have not posted recently for a reason, I have been told to listen.
This is what I know.
The Golden Rule of “do unto others as you want to be done unto” needs an upgrade.
I will live my life by the Platinum Rule, “do unto others as they want to be done unto!

#ATTwitter Please know that John Madden was a true friend of athletic training. I had many conversations with him concerning health and safety at all levels of football. His influence on our game cannot be measured. RIP Coach Madden.

This is a photo of Chiefs’ remote COVID-19 headquarters last night while I was waiting word on tests and our game. Those keyboard warriors that want to dispute our place in healthcare, check the ATs of @pfats_com @EricSugarATC and ask @NFLHealthSafety.

This guy is one of the coaches that gets “It”!
A football lifer whose love for his players may only be surpassed by his love of cheeseburgers.
After 20 years, Andy Reid gets his ring.
