From fighting through college as an AT student & amateur boxer, to working as the Head Football AT for a successful FCS Division-I program, & now working with elite fighters across every level and discipline as a Cutman & AT - the hours were put in.

Happy National Athletic Training Month!

Throughout the month I’ll be sharing different aspects of my profession as an Athletic Trainer and owner of Combat Sports Medicine, LLC — from concussion care, taping and bracing, to rehabilitation and more.

Fighters push through pain, but it’s important to understand the difference between sore, hurt, & injured.

ATs can help guide through that process; providing evaluation, treatment, rehabilitation, & a safe path back to competition.

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.
