Episode 24: HAIL to the Trainers (Ft. Brian Brewster - Michigan Wolverines Men's Hockey, Head Athletic Trainer‪)‬ Verbally Committed

    • Sports

Another wild week of football just took place and basketball is right around the corner. But we took a sharp left turn this week in what we decided to talk about. When we started this podcast we could have stuck to just football or just basketball. But instead we made an oath to cover all collegiate sports and by god we did that this week. 

This week for the first time ever we dipped our toes into the waters that is college hockey. And we did this thanks to Brian Brewster who has a connection to one of our hosts. (He's Connor's Uncle). The secret has been revealed. 

But he is the head athletic trainer for the University of Michigan Wolverines Men's Hockey team. And during this unprecedented 2020 season that includes trying to play a season through a pandemic. He makes for an incredibly interesting conversation. 

We ask him the hard hitting questions like 

- On a scale of 1/10 how feasible did he think it would be for the season to be played, and even now even as the season has started how does he feel?

- What could we see continue in college sports when we get to the new normal in a post-COVID world. 

- His reaction to successfully navigating everyone to be healthy and play a game in 2020.

- TB12 method, does it work?

- Admittedly none of us were probably at our healthiest in college. Whether it be heavy drinking, poor eating or bad sleeping habits, how does he keep these kids in top physical shape?

- All the feels when it comes to injuries, a funny experience he had during a gruesome injury but also a sad one. 

- His favorite Big Ten town to visit when he is away from Ann Arbor

- What it's like to be playing hockey with no fans in the stands

- He also gives his takes on Nebraska football, Michigan football and how he feels about a certain team playing in Bedlam this week. 

Great episode, we hope you all enjoy, we had a lot of fun making it as you will hear.
