There is not a difference between the wording.  We aim to take and make dry needling practical and easy to use.

We filmed professional-quality videos that are included in the course.

I took 12 CEUs per year for 10 years

The cervical seems to give the biggest outcomes

I love when people are stumped or out of options and willing to try anything

Needling has a systemic effect

Pelvic floor dry needling

Get the waiver specific to dry needling.

Use a lot less needles

Include stim and needles to reduce the number of needles needed.

Typically I use 16 -20 needles

Young kids, I use less than 10.

We get this often.

I try to get them to try a few and see

We have only had one person no-show on the next day due to the fear of needles

Allows you to dose needling – essentially make it more or less intense.

A family friend owned the Milwaukee Bucks

We used to landscape his yard.

I was a sophomore or junior in high school and got connected with the Bucks AT.

Went through the Internship route

Worked Minor league baseball with the Brewers

Started working with Bellin Health after my internship

Passed on a low A ball job and stayed with Bellin

Been married since 2010

One month before our wedding my wife-to-be ran a marathon and collapsed most of the way through.

2 months into our marriage she did a tilt table test and learned she had low blood pressure.

2011 convention in New Orleans and she was still running

She had a cardiac incident while in the pool…as in she actually died.

She ended up needing an internal defibrillator.

We were trying to have kids, but the heart meds were possibly affecting her.

We started using IVF and failed once, tried again and then my dad fell and broke his femur.  Then we learned that it failed again.

It was heart breaking.

Then my dad passed away the next week.

Most of the football season was a blur due to all of the family trauma.

My wife took the lead in looking into adoption.

We did not know if we wanted local, foreign, foster care, straight adopt.

We connected with adopt help out of California and a social work back here.

Once people know, the stories started coming out of the woodworks.  Lots of people I knew were affected by adoption in one way or another.

April 1st, 2014 we went live with our adoption.  Which was coincidentally our birth mom’s birthday.

Our adoption is open.

We get lots of friends asking us to speak to friends in family in similar situations.

Our son knows he has a birth mother and a mom and dad here.

Brian Parker spoke for an hour at the Michigan Athletic Trainers Society annual meeting. Energy drinks, stimulants, drugs and the need to educate athletes.

Taylor took anabolic steroids to get bigger faster stronger. 

He quit cold turkey and that lead him to depression and he chose to take his life.

Brian speaks at a lot of regional meetings and would love to come share Taylor story with your group.

1. Contains banned substances?

2. Am I using it properly? 

3. Is it necessary? 

Just one energy drink can hurt your blood vessel function.

Professional Boundaries ebook from Dr. Sadie Adado and the ATvantage.

Scheduling (personal and professional time blocks for zone of Genius)

“Self-care” (exercise, meals, meditation, yoga, reading, walking, family/friends)

Quality improvement project on how I spent my time.

As a young professional, I hadn’t yet learned what I needed. It took a lot of self-awareness and reflection to understand my own needs so that I could practice putting boundaries in place. 

Self-awareness is a journey. It doesn’t end, it’s continual and ever-changing. 

Tuning into self in each moment will help to outline needs that can be met. 

It is your ownership of that, responsibility that matters. Take action for yourself, no one else will. 

I hear ATs talk about being taken advantage of, lowest paid, constantly overworked, etc. The story feels redundant at this point. I wish more ATs felt empowered to change their own script. If you’re burnt out, who has the power to change that? Stop pointing fingers at the system and start being an agent of change. 

For me right now, I love my work but it’s definitely not what I spend most of my time or energy on. Some might scoff at that, but truly it’s been a process of shifting the scales so that I came first. My body, my mental health, my spirit, and then my family friends pets.. it took a lot of practice and still does (every day) of ensuring that my cup is full so I can give. 

I also love the messages about financial peace. Finances play a big role in this balance. 

It can be tough… I was an AT with a Masters salaried working 60+ hrs a week and paid under $40k. I had 3 job offers in the same week and that was the highest… needless to say I lived paycheck to paycheck for a long time, feeling totally stuck. Eventually, I moved to working 5-6 jobs at any time to get “unstuck” but then found myself burnt out. I’m sure this story is familiar.

I decided to put energy into one place. For me, that was starting my small business. This created freedom of my time which is actually the most valuable. Long story short, this journey brought me to where I am now. And I still have multiple sources of income but it’s much more harmonious. 

I think for ATs the balance of life and work does revolve a lot around money. I think we need to talk about it more often. We need to justify and prove our worth not just “say” it.

IMG Academy offers opportunities for Athletic Trainers different from most secondary settings. Kaitlyn Deshaies and Jared White share what life is like at IMG.

I was an injured athlete in high school.

I met an AT while traveling with the team and knew Athletic Training was what I was meant to do.

Planned to go to med school and do orthopedics because I loved being in and around sports.

A random guy was sitting behind our bench with a little black bag and I started asking questions about him and what he did.

I had zero previous experience with Athletic Trainers.

Went to Anderson State University then transferred back to middle Tennessee State

Worked with Vanderbilt

GA at Auburn

Season intern with the KC Chiefs

Became the head AT for the KC Brigade Arena football

Became head AT in Nashville at a D2 school for about 7 years.

At the interview, I loved the IMG academy environment and leadership.

The academy has a boarding school with the traditional student life.

We do not have tryouts, but we have 12 support teams for the one baseball director.

We also have campers throughout the year.

Many pro teams use our campus as an off-season host site.

We are a for-profit business.

We have a very diverse population of TV Stars, a 10-year-old tennis player who is the son of an Abu Dhabi prince, professional athletes, and working-class athletes.

You may have a camper here for a week or a student with a torn ACL.

Our ATs have a lot of physician interaction and see a lot of injuries.

Both Kaitlyn and Jared have been forced to grow.

As a for-profit business, we have to help the company make money.

Personal and professional growth.

We are focused on customer experience. Our staff has to understand the ins and outs of the business.

We are housed in a building that houses strength coaches, nutritionists, mental health specialists, leadership and character development, and sports science and data analytics.

We get to work with a lot of sponsors like Gatorade or Under Armor.

IMG Academy’s summer hires are looking for a staffer who can be part of our team in the future.  

A good candidate needs to be a part of the team and do the same tasks as the full-time staff.

You do need to be an LAT to work in Florida.

We started the growth summit where we host an entire week of education for our AT staff.

How to read imaging

Dermatology issues

Suji BFR will host a course

Emergency Med situations

CPR AED, Emergency transport

ROM and measurement education

Some have gone home and had a family, and some have springboarded into their dream jobs.

We have alumni in almost all aspects of athletic training.

Clinical, hospital, LPGA, NFL

We have 23 athletic trainers now and hire 7 during the summer camp season.

We do not have a “hard” PTO schedule.  If you can swap with someone to attend to a personal event then do it.

We only have 9 sports and have multiple ATs working baseball but have 200 baseball players.
