In case any of my SoCal AT friends need some negotiating ammo, here’s what the CIF pays a commissioner. I know it’s comparing apples to oranges but also if an AT is required for section playoffs or championships, there shouldn’t be an issue paying the appropriate per diem rate.

If you’re still offering $35-$40/hr for per diem work for athletic trainers in California when you are also an athletic trainer…you’re part of the problem! 🗣️

Cuts to Medicaid make ATs more important than ever. With an already strained healthcare system that is now going to be impacted even more due to more severe illnesses coming in, ATs are in a critical position to position ourselves as even more essential in the healthcare system.

Personally, these cuts are ridiculous to give such a small tax break to the middle (I believe, even myself) and even more to billionaires so millions of people lose healthcare and rural hospitals to close. We never needed less access to healthcare, we’ve always needed more.

Sitting here thinking about how grateful I am for my life and to watch my baby grow with my best friend. Official halfway point today and can’t be more excited to become Dad and Mom alongside my best friend

Honestly, working and getting better in occupational health and safety makes me a better AT and vice versa. Learning about and managing risk is all we do 🤓

Working some high school football to cover for a friend this week…a couple things. 1. High school football/high school AT positions are not entry level positions. 10 years ago I wouldn’t have been ready to make calls I have the last week. Respect to all high school ATs

And 2! This football team literally raised money and are using their BOOSTER MONEY to pay for an AT for a second year in a row. Tell me why a single team needs to raise money just to have healthcare for their practices and games! Calling out the school district and the school

Having worked in the diverse settings I have…I really let people know if ATs are not in some way a part of your leadership team then you should still keep looking beyond your current position. AT owned or led businesses that truly support ATs is where it’s at.

A former student of mine is running a fundraiser to purchase an AED for his baseball/softball facility. This fundraiser is very much his personality 😂 if you are able to, please donate to a passionate AT!

Correction…there are no cheaper options than Trader Joe’s anymore 😂
Trader Joe’s has to be the cheapest grocery store with still a great quality. I know there’s cheaper options but the consistency of Trader Joe’s is unreal

ATs in California…youth sports teams are paying $82-$87.50/hr without hesitation. Just spoke to a team in NorCal that will pay $82/hr for 10-12 hour days. Please stop taking $35/hr in SoCal 😓

Finally working on a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt after looking at it for a few years…which is weird because it’s kind of like reading a book you can’t put down for me… continuous improvement in healthcare 🤩

Can we all agree Snoop Dogg is the king of side quests? Bet you all didn’t know he’s also done a rap song partly in Spanish with a Mexican Banda and it slaps 🤣 now with the Olympics he’s at another level lol

One of the coolest things about being in the city you went to college in is to see your college friends growing families and to see them be amazing parents 🥹

Update on this: reverse dieted for a few weeks, went into a calorie deficit for the last 12 weeks…proud to say I take the advice I constantly give and am down 25 lbs as of today 💪🏼💪🏼
Currently reverse dieting up to 2900 cal/day…so much food 😅

This is the face of a dog who is currently recovering from rhabdomyolysis. As many times as we have gone hard, today was just a little bit too much for him. This picture was taken immediately after a quick urgent care visit.

Probably the toughest dog I’ve ever had. We’re hydrating, and have already improved in urine concentration. Needless to say it’ll be awhile before we play fetch again. We went in the morning before the heat of the day. i guess you just never know.
