We don’t ask pediatricians if they’re gonna “climb the ladder” into geriatrics, so why do we ask high school athletic trainers when they’re going to “level up” into college/pro sports?
Athletes are athletes and they all deserve healthcare. There shouldn’t be a hierarchy.

Is anyone else on the BOC "Power Panel"? I'm interested to chat about your experience and whether we can *actually* make a difference here.

Yall I might need to switch to the mean nurse… my injections have been bruising 😭

Which nurse would you choose to see 2x/week?
A) Great bedside manner. Knows you by name. Makes you feel comfortable. Shots hurt like hell.
B) Rude. Didn’t introduce herself. No follow up instructions. Shots felt like nothing.

The joy of my day is seeing the athletes faces when I tell them to recall the words from the beginning of the @impacttest 😅

Me: "Aaron Rodgers fractured his wrist, he isn't playing"
Mom: "Well that's good it's not broken!"

Desk neighbors: “Oh wow you must really like anatomy!”
This is a kinesiology PhD program, of course I do 😅

Was getting coffee this morning and one of the baristas was explaining to the other how he fell and injured his shoulder and it took all of my energy to not give my thoughts 😅

Was just at a science museum and they were having a rat play basketball. A little kid goes “where are the coaches?” More like “where are the ATs?”
