Biography (In Nicole’s Words) I grew up in a small town on the Jersey Shore, and have been around football (soccer) for as long as I can remember. Everything I did in my childhood and adolescence was aimed at becoming a Division-1 college soccer player. In my junior year of high school, I achieved my lifelong dream and verbally committed to play soccer at St. John’s University in Queens, NY. In November of my senior year of high school I fractured my tibia and fibula. I underwent Open Reduction Internal Fixation with an intramedullary nail in my tibia and three screws going from my tibia to my fibula, two distally at the medial malleolus and one proximally near the pes anserine, and then started physical therapy.  If you haven’t already figured out how this story ends, my physical therapist not only helped me recover from my injury, she also gave me my dream back. She helped me reclaim my self-identity and led me on my eventual career path of becoming a physical therapist myself. I knew I would never be able to adequately repay her for all she had done for me, and I also knew that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping other soccer players achieve their dreams, especially when they might be feeling as hopeless as I had.  I ended up having an amazing experience at St. John’s, and then went on to Emory University in Atlanta, GA for physical therapy school where I met my husband, Marc. I currently see patients and clients for both physical therapy and performance training in person and remotely online in my cash based concierge style practice. When not working with clients or creating content, Marc and I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors in nature with our two dogs, Rosie and Kai. Topics Covered: Nicole’s physical therapy practice that blends sports rehabilitation with on field preparation and technical/tactical coaching The open chain/closed chain debate in ACL rehabilitation Why open chain exercises aren’t “dangerous” How open chain exercises stack up against “acceptable” closed chain activities and activities of daily living in the research Unique benefits of open chain exercises and what rehabilitation providers who avoid them are missing What does “functional” and “specific” mean in the context of ACL rehabilitation How Nicole progresses open chain exercises to maximize safety and effectiveness Nicole’s “Ethical Return To Sport Decision Making” course The ethics of risk aversion and harm in return to sport rehabilitation Key stakeholders in the return to sport process Ethics Case Studies: concussion in a high school athlete, is physical therapy “essential” during a pandemic, how many visits “should” insurance companies cover, what to do when physical and psychological readiness are at odds Links of Interest: Nicole’s Website Nicole’s Courses Nicole’s Case For Open Chain Work in ACL Rehab Nicole’s Twitter Nicole’s Instagram Nicole’s Linkedin

Welcome back to the Resilient Performance Podcast. In this week's episode, the three of us sit down with the Columbia University Doctor of Physical Therapy program to go over our perspectives on practice. This was a particularly enjoyable episode for Trevor, Doug, and I, since we all met at Columbia PT school, just prior to starting Resilient Performance. We had a great time talking with the student-led group of future therapists and are excited to see where they're headed in their careers. We hope you enjoy today's episode!   Topics Discussed: The autonomy of owning your own practice The fun in figuring out what's important as a clinician What makes the Physical Therapy profession so special Understanding how to utilize your sub-specialty Knowing your limitations when picking your clinical rotations How the psychological aspect is part of the physical aspect of rehabbing a patient Student's Q&A

Mickey Brueckner is the owner and director of training at the ANNEX Sports Performance Center, a sports performance and CrossFit facility located in Chatham, New Jersey. Like many high school and college student-athletes, Mickey had aspirations to pursue a career as a professional athlete. During his sophomore year in college Mickey was projected to be a top five round pick in the Major League Baseball Draft in the summer of 2003. However, a season-ending elbow injury led to two Tommy-John surgeries and months of physical therapy. Never getting back to his previous form, he had to give up his path of becoming a professional athlete.  To stay connected to his passion, Mickey took up the next best thing - training. As a trainer, Mickey is able to utilize his years of experience as an athlete combined with his performance training and physical therapy experience to help other athletes become faster and stronger, while also focusing on injury prevention.  Since returning from Arizona in 2006, Mickey has quickly created a reputation in his area for his work with developing amateur and professional baseball athletes. Along with working with all levels of baseball athletes, Mickey has also served as a consultant for several high school, college, and professional baseball programs in the field of program design and player development. Mickey has had the opportunity to work with some of the best high school and college athletes coming out of New Jersey as well as a host of professional athletes from the NFL and MLB, a handful of which have worked with Mickey since high school. In 2007 he trained the High School Baseball “Gatorade Player of the Year” as well as the USA Today High School Baseball “Team of the Year.”   Topics Covered:     How Mickey's passion for baseball made it a seamless transition from player to coach   What should arm care encompass from Mickey's point of view?   The importance of an off-season training goal and what this process looks like  What a 7-day throwing process looks like for a college or high school pitcher  How young pitchers can get themselves into trouble in training and development by trying to get ahead of the process  The glaring differences between pitcher development and competition  Positional progressions for young pitchers  Being more practical with how you choose methods of arm care Links of Interest:    Annex Performance on Instagram  Annex Performance and Fitness on Instagram  Mickey's Instagram

The Resilient Performance Podcast was born to interview thought leaders from a variety of disciplines (including medicine, fitness, military and law enforcement, academia, music, theater, sports, and exploration) to gain insight into how to systematically optimize performance at the individual and organizational level. This will not be a niche podcast that promotes specialization and professional identity politics. Instead, it will espouse global thinking and professional and academic integration.
