If you have competed in sports throughout your life, chances
are at one point you were sidelined because of an injury. If not,
congratulations, you are superhuman. Some people are more injury prone than
others, myself included. I never went a year without some kind of injury
mishap. Between dislocated knees, broken ankles, torn ligaments, concussions
and surgeries, I’ve pretty much been through it all. Sometimes they couldn’t
have been prevented, but in many cases I could have been back in action much
more quickly if I had really been listening to the trainers advising me instead
of picking and choosing which advice to follow, as many of us do.
Chip Wintringham is our Athletic Training Advisor here at
DomTech and his contributions are meant to help us all stay healthy and be
mindful of injury prevention. Chip was my athletic trainer back at High Point University
and saw me through several running injuries. He has since been swept away by
Queens University to work with their track and field, basketball and triathlon
teams. He received his undergraduate education from Emory and Henry College,
where he played tennis. Chip received his graduate degree from the University
of Virginia and became a certified athletic trainer in 2012. His first post
will be up at the end of this week.
