They taught me to fix ankle sprains, concussions, and other injuries in school. But they never taught me how to fix an entire team of broken hearts. I wish I had the ability to do that right now. 💔
Wrestlers can remember the score in the second period of a match they wrestled in a middle school dual but not the rehab exercises I gave them yesterday.
This is both difficult for the player and the medical staff. The medical staff never wants to have to hold a player out. It hurts us to see them upset. But we know we have to do what’s best for the athlete.
Asking a concussed player if he can play is like asking a drunk driver if he can drive. The player will always want to play and this proves they will do anything to get back on the field. Thank you

Medical Staff for taking Simms’ helmet away!

I love hearing the different opinions. I’m not going to try to change your mind because to each their own. But, I’m always hype for my guys. I’m passionate about my team and I’m not afraid to show it.
There’s a unique group of women that are involved with wrestling that don’t come from a wrestling family, weren’t wrestlers, etc. They just LOVE the sport and are passionate about it. I’m one of those women. And I’m biased but I think we’re an awesome and badass group. 💪🏼
I am very excited to share with you all that I have accepted a job as the wrestling athletic trainer for Arizona State University.
This is truly a dream come true for me. I could not be more excited and thankful for this opportunity.

I hope the female wrestlers this weekend got to see the way the little girls in the stands looked at them. It was the cutest thing. You all are their heroes. You give them such amazing role models to look up to. Women’s wrestling has a bright future. 🥺❤️

Great article on Tyler and the love he has for his team & the profession.

Youth wrestling coaches/facility owners, please consider getting an AED for your facilities and having an emergency action plan! It’s so important. There are options for grants to get an AED.
The women in wrestling are so supportive. All day we’ve walked by each other, hugged, encouraged, and lifted up…regardless of team. It’s so special and I love it!
Taking a moment today to celebrate our athletic trainer

during National Athletic Training Month! Keeping a team of wrestlers going all season isn't easy, we wouldn't be the same without her! 🔱
Watching my former athletes have big life moments (achieving goals, marriage, jobs, having kids, etc. ) makes me SO happy and proud. I’m always rooting for them & they’ll always be considered one of my “kids”. ❤️
Please take the time say a prayer for
@mrfasttwitch
& the medical/hospital staff taking care of him.

Regardless of the colors we all wear we are one big wrestling family.
I get the opportunity to work an NCAA D1 softball regional and the NCAA D1 women’s golf championships this weekend & I think that’s really cool.

James Harden was working out the same time I was yesterday and he asked me what sport I played. 🙃
I’ll take this as a compliment for two reasons…1. I look young enough to be a college athlete & 2. I look fit enough to an NBA player to be a college athlete
Really in my wrestling feels tonight. So many good memories with my cards. 💛 Super excited to be in the sun devils corner tomorrow. Let’s make some great memories. 👏🏼👏🏼

Elor spins behind for takedown 2-0. She gets an ankle lace and turns it four times.
@AmitElor
wins 10-0 in 22 seconds and is again U23 World Champion!!! She has won U20, U23 and Senior World titles for the second straight year.
Win or lose these wrestlers have been signing autographs for the kids as they’re coming off the mat. Watching these kids face light up has me tearing up every time ❤️😭 I love our sport & the people in it.
If you don’t like wrestling tweets, you might want to unfollow me for the next few days. If you do like wrestling tweets, buy me a coffee to get me through the next few days. Also, pray for me.
Thank you so much
@Tony_Rotundo
😁 This is seriously the BEST compliment! I love these photos so much! Thanks for capturing the fun!! I have the BEST team and the best job!
Coaching tip
#1
: find a trainer as passionate about the sport as
@jesss152
is about wrestling! It was so fun watching her reactions at the ASU v ISU dual. After Zeke, she was always the next person to high-five the wrestlers as they came off the mat. 💪🏼

If there's ever been two pictures that sum up what's important about being an AT, it's these two.
@proatc
@jesss152
this is what it's about, through all the hills and valleys.
ASU has provided me with some really awesome AT opportunities (outside of wrestling)…softball regional, softball super regional, men’s and women’s golf National Championship, and now the Men’s Final Four! Grateful to be a sun devil!!
