@SoulohoArt Hey! Could you send me more information about this? My neos might bite at the opportunity!

Sometimes when my patients tell me their neck/back hurt I really be wanting to say me too 😅

I stand on this statement ten toes down. 🥹

Getting every part of a sports physical from high school kids should be an Olympic sport 😩

#UFOrtho recognizes the role athletic trainers fill from educating players/coaches on how to prevent injuries to developing "return to play" strategies. AT's keep our athletes safe & get them back into the game quickly/safely following injury/illness.

Why? (cont'd)
At that moment, I realized that I wanted to make sure no athlete ever felt the way I did and thus why I pursued Athletic Training.

[UF Orthopaedics @UFortho]

How did you come to be an ATC? Why do you do it?
I sustained an injury in high school where it took away the ability for me to return to sports. In that time, I felt stripped of my identity and became very depressed.

Dr. Jim Free has passed away at 87.

A private practice doctor in Clearwater, Free was part of the first graduating class at the University of Florida in 1960.

As a research fellow, he worked on a solution that replaced sweat for athletes.

It was he who named it Gatorade.

I get this one Friday off and I don’t know what to do with myself 😂

Maybe I’m crazy but being on curfew at Hampton really was not that bad.
