Podcast veteran Kristi Messina joined me in Baltimore to talk about her experiences during Capitol Hill Day 2016 and much, much more.  

Niki Dehner is an ATPodcast veteran, having appeared on the original 31 episodes released during NATM 2013.  She serves as Athletic Trainer at Francis Parker School in San Diego, California.  We chat about her experiences there as well as with international travel with US National Rugby teams.  We also touch upon the issue of licensure in California (and North Carolina, for that matter!)  A good, easy conversatoin!

LaShaunta' Jones serves as Head Athletic Trainer and Senior Women's Administrator at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio.  We chatted about her career and experiences in athletic training and touched upon a number of topics relevant to the working collegiate athletic trainer.  A very good conversation if I do say so myself!

Tim Utt and Jeremy Emmons of Rehab Group of Morristown (TN) sat down with me to discuss their education and careers in the high school setting.  Tim is at Morristown East HS and Jeremy is at cross-town rival Morristown West HS.  Excellent stuff about work/life balance and advice on choosing an AT education program and more.  Listen!

Mike Hanley serves as Associate Athletic Director for Student Services at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina.  Mike has been at ECU since 1990 and had mentored numerous ATPodcast guests as well as both hosts.  We have a great casual chat about his career and experiences in athletic training.  A must-listen!

Mike Matheny is Head Athletic Trainer and Clinical Associate Professor at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York.  He is lead author on a pair of articles in the current International Journal of Athletic Therapy and Training related to Vocal Cord Dysfunction - Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction.  His collaboration with a Speech Language Pathologist in the recognition and management of VCD-EILO has been chronicled recently in the NATA news and in the upcoming Training & Conditioning magazine.

Sue Falsone spoke with a group of Tusculum College students for this episode of ATPodcast.  Sue currently serves as Head of Athletic Training and Sports Performance for the US Men’s National Soccer Team.  She is the owner of Structure & Function, an educational and consulting business for healthcare providers and athletes.  For several years, she served as Head Athletic Trainer for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

This is very open and honest discussion of her career and she gives great professional advice to these soon-to-be athletic trainers and it serves as a good model for other student-led interviews.  If you have interest in your student group doing some thing similar, let me know!
