Summary: <br> Daniel Bellamy left us with a great line in <a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/sports-performance-daniel-bellamy/">his first podcast</a>: Question Without Questioning. I knew we needed more time to discuss this so we scheduled another session.<br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Question-without-questioning.png"></a><br> <br> <br> <br> We missed some parts of the story<br> <br> <br> <br> * Grew up in Washington DC* Son of a pediatricain and a recreational therapist* Grew up in the church* When he got to college he decided to test out the college life<br> <br> <br> <br> Where did that lead you?<br> <br> <br> <br> I began to question my faith, and I struggled with anxiety. I used drinking and smoking and partying as a way to cope or deal with the anxiety. I eventually came to an "I am going to fix this" situation. That's when I met my wife and started doing great.<br> <br> <br> <br> "When my wife got pregnant I panicked and started back up. My son was born and I heard a sermon that really struck my heart and changed everything."<br> <br> <br> <br> I need to have some initiatvie, I need to get my wife and I out of my parents house and lead my family. I need to take advantage of the time and blessing i have been given.- Daniel Bellamy<br> <br> <br> <br> Why did you move on?<br> <br> <br> <br> I was just coasting, I was chilling at the high school and not really growing.<br> <br> <br> <br> I needed to repair some relationships, get out of my parent's house and make some more money.<br> <br> <br> <br> That lead me to develop my core values as an AT while at Howard University.<br> <br> <br> <br> What are those Core Values?<br> <br> <br> <br> Effort<br> <br> <br> <br> Empathy<br> <br> <br> <br> How do we question without questioning?<br> <br> <br> <br> Assume the BEST - almost no one was out to get me. If I approach from that perspective it usually goes well.<br> <br> <br> <br> Be curious to understand - truly ask how, why, when because you want to learn<br> <br> <br> <br> Enter their space - hit the weight room with the coaches or catch up at baseball practice<br> <br> <br> <br> Overcommunicate - this leaves you with plenty of deposits in that relationship bank account.<br> <br> <br> <br> Invite them into your world - joint CEU options or planning and policy teams.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Invite Daniel to speak to your AT program<br> <br> <br> <br> Daniel - <a href="mailto:Daniel.Bellamy@utsa.edu" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel.Bellamy@utsa.edu</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Victoria - <a href="https://twitter.com/morris_atc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@morris_atc</a><br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://sportsmedicinebroadcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/PT_continued_logo.png"></a><br>
