@PeterAttiaMD I interviewed for a physical therapist role on your team a few months back. After making it to the final round, I was turned down for the job. I was disappointed.

Present day, I am so incredibly relieved.

Things happen (or don’t happen) for a reason.

Had an incredible @APTAcsm. Per usual, didn’t get enough pictures, but had a wonderful time with my IRONMAN, Duke and Wake Forest families. Congrats to Kerry on his teaching award — no one more deserving! And @DukeFOOTBALL: thanks for the new hardware!

Dear @slipperyrocku,
Sincere apology.

The final paragraph of “Doc,” given to me by one of our orthopedists here at Duke. Doc passed away in 2017 — an incredible human being. A must read for anyone in sports medicine. Has me contemplating what my last paragraph might say someday. Don’t forget what it’s all about!

[Chris Lefever PT, DPT, SCS, CSCS @chrislefever]

No one better deserving. Big things coming for you John!
