I had this crazy idea early in my time as a Manager

I wanted to know how many decisions I made in a day as a manager.

So I had an intern follow me around with a pitch counter. You know, the clicker.

Every time I made a decision, I'd point my finger and he'd hit it. It was kind of comical.

If Steve Martin and Martin Short were doing it, it'd be hilarious. But it was me and this kid, just pointing all day.

We started at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. By 6 o'clock - five hours later - I asked him, "What's the clicker say?"

He goes, "You made 181 decisions."

181 decisions!

And I still had an hour before game time. Then I'd have a whole game to manage.

I looked at that kid and said, "can you believe I've made 181 decisions? Do you think I made every single one correctly?"

He's like, "Wow, no, I never thought of that. Probably not."

He was afraid to even say it.

But I said, "You're absolutely right. There's no way I'm going to make every decision correctly."

That opened my eyes.

I needed to find a way to lean into other people that are smarter than me in certain areas to help me make better decisions.

Sometimes the best leadership isn't having all the answers.

It's knowing when to ask for help.

Athletic trainers are way more than ice, water, tape, and “game coverage”.

We are healthcare professionals. We help prevent, evaluate, and treat injuries, among many other things. We help improve function and outcomes for our patients.

And we deserve to be respected as such.

@wcstrainer @DrayerPT @BeaconOrtho Good luck this season.

@CaitrATC Yes indeed. God is good. 🙏

@TurnBomb15 You treat them normally. One hang up is foot doesn’t relax stuck in dorsiflexion. Agree with practicing with real life issues.
