Collegiate Powerlifting and HSE

Danny Burke 4-23-2022

We have always assumed HSE and sports would be a great combination. But is it really? In this presentation, I will share what I have learned in my four years of experience working with The Louisiana Tech Powerlifting team. I have been involved with them throughout their training, and in the thick of Collegiate National Championship meets. Highlights of this presentation will include: How did the opportunity for me to work with the team arise? What was my role with the team, and how did I work with the coaches, trainers, and other healthcare professionals. How did I help a team with a large number of athletes at a university 450 miles away from where I live? And how can HSE help athletes, during training, while hurt, before during and after meets?  And I will lead you into my ideas for the future of HSE and Sports.

Danny Burke, CHSE, is also a certified Hanna Somatic Yoga teacher, Level 1 Equine Hanna Somatic Educator, and a Canine Hanna Somatic Educator. He says, “I love to help people and animals. We all have moments of being stuck in life, without even knowing how or why. I admire clients who have the courage to ask for help. I like teaching them a practical way to use their own central nervous system to make rapid change and long lasting improvements, following the concepts and philosophies of Thomas Hanna and Eleanor Criswell. I believe there is no limit to how much we can improve.” His ultimate goal is to help USA athletes win gold in the Olympics, and he regards his work helping the Louisiana Tech Powerlifting team become a perennial contender for a national title as one of his biggest achievements. When he is not playing with his grandkids, he enjoys birdwatching, stand-up comedy, and camping in West Texas. In his own words, “I'm getting better at enjoying my precious little time on this planet.”
