Bickering Body Disagreement

Uggggh!

I don't know who may see this post or when you may see it. But, does your profession face a lot of bickering? 

Sure, disagreements occur. You may experience disagreements in your daily meetings whether they occur in-person or virtually. If you drive into work, you may disagree with the skill and decisions of other drivers. Disagreements are everywhere, and we see their endless cycle every day.

However, one thing that shows a bit of annoyance is the amount of bickering in the human performance world. The human performance realm is broad; so the main industry that I am referring to for this matter is strength & conditioning. If you follow s&c Twitter, then you have seen the difference opinions. The do-it-my-way/our-way. The no-this-is-how-you-do-it. The...well, insert an argument and it has been bickered: strength, conditioning, rest, nutrition, supplements...my goodness!

They will happen due to many functions and many parts.

Guess what? That's fine. 

I do think it shows an industry that cares a lot about its student-athletes, the busy professional, sport coaches, other s&c coaches, and skill set or skill versatility. Look, strength & conditioning is underrated. Oh yes...underrated. You mention s&c and the majority of people think about words such as muscle-bound, big, lift weights, and pain. The fact that many sports teams have just started hiring s&c coaches or have not hired one could emphasize that certain organizations do not value strength & conditioning...yet. 

They should.

But, they have not.

Words and phrases such as smart, determined, versatile, creative, and collaborative encompass the description as well.

In terms of relationships with teams, you could also argue, "Well, coaches and specialists should contact teams." Calls do happen. Do teams and organizations follow up?

With any splurge in s&c positions, more disagreements within the field may follow. But, with different athletic or movement environments, the bickering is a given. The medical field does it. I bet the legal realm does it. 

It's progressive.

Disagree.

Agree to disagree.

Avoid attacks.

Hope about that?
