Top Level Athletic Training Research

This is the very best athletic training research podcast on the internet.

Mr. Garret ,

Needs more hard science episodes

They review too many articles that are soft science topics such as “social determinants of health” and “work life balance”. I want to see more podcasts on hard sciences that cover topics like injury prevention and rehabilitation. The JAT publishes them, this podcast ignores them.
