Ep. 162: Katie Lee-Staff Wellness & Burnout. Acrobatics.

Katie Lee is a doctoral student at Baylor University that is focusing her dissertation work on staff wellness, burnout, and caffeine consumption as it relates to a solution. In addition to this important conversation, we also discuss acrobatics, which Katie is working with while going through her program.

Burnout is obviously a big topic in the athletic training profession, rightfully so. Katie helps define burnout and talks about some of the comparisons to other professions that can experience something similar. She notes how it can be a very vicious cycle that impacts both the athletic trainer but how it can also move into patient care. Katie also talks about best practices to help identify and address burnout before it hopefully gets too far. 

The discusson on acrobatics is also fascinating as a new sport. Katie defines what it is and how the athletic trainers that work with these athletes continue to work together to figure out best practices to care for this athlete population. A lot of great insight into an emerging sport. Check it out and thank you for listening.

Ep. 160: Joshua Morales-The Secondary Setting: A Front Porch to AT

Joshua is an athletic trainer who works in the secondary setting and is a huge advocate of why it is so important in the athletic training profession. This is a sentiment I couldn’t agree with more as it is commonly the first interaction most patients have with an athletic trainer. This can be a huge opportunity to show the value of athletic training and have such an impact as people move on to collegiate athletics or if they interact with one in a clinic down the road.

Joshua talks about why he thinks the setting is one of (maybe the main) front porch to athletic training and why it is so important. He highlights a lot of the opportunities he sees in this setting as well as some of the challenges that come with it. There seem to be several on both sides but the opportunities win out. He also discusses what advice he would give someone heading into this setting and things that he has learned along the way. A great episode that highlights a vital part of the athletic training profession.

In This Episode:

+The importance of the secondary setting AT

+Challenges working in this setting

+Life balance in this setting

+How this setting impacts athletic training as a whole

Ep. 158: Adam Halpern-Founder/CEO Experience

In episode 152 we talked to Adam Halpern about the pivot and ultimate founding of WaveOn Health (link below). That episode was filled with a ton of great information if you have any interest in getting into entrepreneurship in any sector but we wanted to do a few follow-up episodes to dive further into some of the topics we covered.


This episode is about being a founder/CEO. Adam breaks down the differences between the two, how they can mesh together or be very separate. He also talks about the trials and tribulations that came along the way and how developing his idea started. This is a fascinating episode and we learned a lot that we can apply to our situation and we hope you can do the same. Enjoy.

Ep. 157: NATA Renewal Roundtable Discussion w/ Emily Huston & Eric Rogers

Every year when NATA renewal comes up the larger discussion on if it is worth it to renew your personal membership. There are a lot of factors that go into it. Does your employer pay for it? What are you getting from the membership? Is it your duty to support the profession through the association?

With all of these questions, we wanted to discuss membership renewal and the process that went into it. Emily Huston is an AT who is currently in PA school and brings some insight into how each of the professional memberships compare to each other and why she wants to keep up with NATA but is finding it difficult. Eric Rogers has gone back and forth many times about membership and shares why he decided to renew this year and what he would like to see for his membership money.

This was a great conversation and maybe a few ideas came out of it. If you’d like to talk about your experience with membership, we’d love to hear from you.

In This Episode:

+Discussion on NATA Renewal consideration

+Differences between associations

+What could the NATA do to make it easier to renew?
