Athletic Training Chat

Dr. Phillip Vardiman has done and is doing a lot in the athletic training profession. I know Dr. Vardiman from my time in graduate school when he served as my advisor and we’ve been able to stay in touch ever since. Dr. Vardiman in this episode shares with us how he works to balance all the different apsects of AT he is involved in. Not only has he been full-time in an academic education program, he is doing research, service with the state and beyond and slo keeping up his clinical skils in a couple of areas.  We discuss the timportance of being involved in so much to keep current in as many areas as he can but at time it comes down to priorities and deciding what you can do at the highest levels and adjusting other aspects. In addition to this conversation, Dr. Varidman talks about his time working with USA Track & Field and everything he learned in those experiences. He also talks about his most recent work with the Rangers at Fort Riley and the impact it has had on him. There is so much to take away
