Kyle sits down with Dr. Verle Valentine of Sanford Health to discuss his path through Brookings as an SDSU student athlete during undergrad to his present day support of the Jackrabbits football squad. Verle is one of several orthopedics and sports medicine providers working in tandem with the football team to provide a range of medical care for the athletes. Verle and his associates have have been the team's go-to resource for sports medicine aid and the like for several years now including many playoffs runs and multiple trips to Frisco, Texas for the FCS National Championship games. With the careful attention and diligence of Sandford's team of physicians and medical staff, the work of Verle and his counterparts aims to decrease the incidence of severe injury or illness, and when it does occur, ensure optimal non-surgical/surgical outcomes for both player performance and life after playing.
