Itβs football season, which means long days, nonstop taping, and vocabulary only athletic trainers truly understand. π
Forget βHut, Hut, Hike.β The real football language is spoken in the athletic training room and on the sideline.
Here are a few terms every football AT knows:
π§ Scraping: Using IASTM tools as part of soft tissue treatment and mobility work.
π©Ή Pre-Wrap: The unofficial beginning of what feels like an endless roll of tape.
π Spat: Taping over the cleat and ankle for added support and stability.
π§ Cold Tub: Where recovery starts and where negotiations about the water temperature begin.
